a new signal amplification strategy based on simultaneous application of gold nanoparticles (aunps) and horseradish peroxidase (hrp) was employed to improve the sensitivity of an electrochemical immunoassay for detection of human igg (higg), as a model antigenic protein. this immunoassay system was fabricated on magnetic carboxyl-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (cooh-mwcnt/fe3o4 na...

Current inductors are the major impediment for miniaturization of electronics, due to the lack of magnetic materials with suitable high frequency properties. Future economically viable miniaturized high frequency electronic components require a low loss high frequency magnetic nanocomposite paste that is compatible with the low temperature powered circuit board (“PCB”) process. Inframat Corpora...

BaTiO3-CoFe2O4 composite films were prepared on (100) SrTiO3 substrates by using a radio-frequency magnetron co-sputtering method at 750 °C. These films contained highly (001)-oriented crystalline phases of perovskite BaTiO3 and spinel CoFe2O4, which can form a self-assembled nanostructure with BaTiO3 well-dispersed into CoFe2O4 under optimized sputtering conditions. A prominent dielectric perc...

TiAlB coatings with different compositions were deposited by co-sputtering from TiAl and TiB2 targets onto AISI316 stainless steel substrates at a temperature of 170(C. The stoichiometry and nanostructure have been studied by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), x-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Analysis of the XPS spectra suggests the presence of phases in ...

background substrates in medical science are hydrophilic polymers undergoing volume expansion when exposed to culture medium that influenced on cell attachment. although crosslinking by chemical agents could reduce water uptake and promote mechanical properties, these networks would release crosslinking agents. in order to overcome this weakness, silicone rubber is used and reinforced by nanocl...

HAAlumina nanocomposite is biocompatible and has desirable mechanical and physical properties. Less cost, simple synthesis method, and fast production are the added advantages of this nanocomposite. Thus HA coatings on the surface of alumina substrates are used to combine excellent bioactivity of HA with superior mechanical properties of the alumina substrates. One of the elements associated wi...

Nanocellulose is of research interest due to its extraordinary optical, thermal, and mechanical properties. The incorporation of guest nanoparticles into nanocellulose substrates enables production of novel nanocomposites with a broad range of applications. In this study, gold nanoparticle/bacterial cellulose (AuNP/BC) nanocomposites were prepared and evaluated for their applicability as surfac...

Sol-gel method has been used to fabricate nanocomposite films on glass substrates composed halloysite clay mineral and nanocrystalline TiO2. The methodology for the synthesis involves a simple chemistry method utilized nonionic surfactant molecule as pore directing agent along with the acetic acid-based solgel route with the absence of water molecules. The thermal treatment of composite films a...
