Sol–gel chemistry is an efficient tool to control the morphology and reactivity of solids. Drying is the crucial step due to the capillary forces exerted during the classic ambient drying process, which induces the collapse of the wet gel porosity. The use of N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF), a newly found DCCA were found to be effective in the sol–gel synthesis of crack-free silica gel monolith fr...

background: in this study the basic radiation properties of n-isopropylacrylamaide polymer gel dosimeter were determined together with verification of its soft tissue equivalency. materials and methods: the nipam gel was prepared and irradiated approximately 2 h after manufacturing. the magnetic resonance (mr) images were made 24 h after irradiation. the nuclear magnetic resonance (nmr) respons...

results in the i-gel group, the success rate was 66.7% for placement on the first attempt, 16.7% for the second, and 3.33% for the third attempt. in the lma group, the success rates were 80.6% and 12.9% for the first and second attempts, respectively. failure in placement occurred in four cases in the i-gel and two cases in lma groups. the mean insertion time was not significantly different bet...

sol–gel chemistry is an efficient tool to control the morphology and reactivity of solids. drying is the crucial step due to the capillary forces exerted during the classic ambient drying process, which induces the collapse of the wet gel porosity. the use of n, n-dimethylformamide (dmf), a newly found dcca were found to be effective in the sol–gel synthesis of crack-free silica gel monolith fr...

proteomics refers to the analysis of expression, localization, functions, posttranslational modifications, and interactions of proteins expressed by a genome at a specific condition and at a specific time. current proteomic tools allow large-scale, high-throughput analyses for the detection, identification, and functional investigation of proteome. in this review, we have focused on the proteom...

Nano ZnO/ montmorillonite composite were prepared by sol gel method under ultrasonic irradiation from directly mixing montmorillonite nano clay into Zinc gel. The Zn(CH3COO)2.2H2O and montmorillonite nano clay was used as precursor. The zinc acetate was dissolved in DI water and, NH3 (aq) solution was dropped into the zinc solution until pH 9 consequently the zinc gel was produced. The montmori...

When a gel absorbs solvent from surrounding, stress field is created in the gel, and this causes complex dynamics of swelling behavior. Here we study effect for disk-shaped by rigorously solving diffusio-mechanical coupling equation. We show that (a) while macroscopic thickness radius increases monotonically time, compressed near mid-plane, (b) time depends on shear modulus $G$ its dependence w...
