Abstract Nanostructured pure and molybdenum (Mo)-doped nickel oxide (NiO) thin films with various concentrations of Mo dopants were successfully sputtered on indium-doped tin (ITO) substrates to apply in the ultraviolet (UV) photodetector sensors. The influence concentration films' structural, morphological, optical properties was studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning e...

Ocular drug delivery systems suffer from rapid drainage, intractable corneal permeation and short dosing intervals. Transcorneal drug permeation could increase the drug availability and efficiency in the aqueous humor. The aim of this study was to develop and optimize nanostructured formulations to provide accurate doses, long contact time and enhanced drug permeation. Nanovesicles were designe...

The residual stresses of the thin-walled injection molding are investigated in this study. It was realized that the behavior of residual stresses in injection molding parts was affected by different process conditions such as melt temperature, mold temperature, packing pressure and filling time. The layer removal method was used to measure the residual stresses at a thin-walled test sample by a...

Ag thin films were successfully produced via a green chemistry method from silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) obtained reacting an extract of Pelargonium Zonale leaves with nitrate. The ions nitrate reduced to atoms by reducing stabilizer-capping compounds contained in the leaves. nucleate small clusters that grew into and finally, they formed homogeneous film on glass substrate. nanostructured chara...
