The chance of developing lung cancer is increased through being exposed to cigarette smoke illustrated by studies. It is vital to understand the development of particular histologic-type cancers regarding the deposition of carcinogenic particles, which are present in human airway. In this paper, the mass transfer and deposition of cigarette smoke, inside the human airway, are investigated apply...

We demonstrate the feasibility of semiconductor deposition via the electrochemical reduction of gaseous precursors by the use of an anhydrous proton-conducting membrane, the solid acid CsHSO4, at 165 °C. This membrane electrode assembly was operated within the oxidation of hydrogen on a porous Pt anode and the deposition of Si or Ge under bias at the cathode from chloride-based gaseous precurso...

Bioglass-graphene oxide composites can be served as a high-potential candidate for biomedical applications due to its specific mechanical properties. In this study, the 45S5 bioactive glass (BG) - graphene oxide (GO) composite containing 2 wt. % GO was coated on titanium alloy via electrophoretic deposition process (EPD). The synthesized GO was incorporated into BG coating to improve the mechan...

Under UV-visible light irradiation, multiple synergetic promotion effects on the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 by gold deposition can be observed, and plasmonic Au/TiO2 shows great potential for photocatalytic solar conversion.

     The purpose of this study was to investigate the deposition of the hydroxyapatite (HA) coating via the electrophoresis procedure. The HA deposition was performed in an ethanol, methanol, acetone and isopropanol suspension. Methanol was found to be the best deposition media. Among the different environmental conditions, including the encapsulation of the samples under two vacuum types of pr...

Nanowire is a cylindrical nano-structure with nanometer dimensions. In this research, the studied nanowire was made from the magnetic triple Ni-Fe-Co alloy. We utilized ordered porous anodic aluminum oxide as a template for the nanowire deposition. The nanowire arrays were electrodeposited in the cylindrical pores of the oxide layer by AC potential in a simple sulfate bath. Then the relation ...

We examine the photo-assisted polarization loop in a BiFeO3 thin film under UV light illumination. BiFeO3 thin film prepared by pulsed laser deposition method onto the BaTiO3 thin film and the polarization behavior has been measured under poling voltage. Our results show the engineered polarization due to controllable schottky barrier under inverse poling voltage. This control on schottky barri...

This article examines the influence of three common stabilizing agents (citrate, poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP), and branched poly(ethylenimine) (BPEI)) on the attachment affinity of silver nanoparticles to ceramic water filters. Citrate-stabilized silver nanoparticles were found to have the highest attachment affinity (under conditions in which the surface potential was of opposite sign to the f...

The native calf-thymus DNA molecule fully dispersed in solution was deposited onto highly oriented pyrolytic graphite, carbon fiber column and disk electrodes under controlled dc potentials. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy and electrochemical investigations indicated that network structures of DNA could be formed on various carbon electrode surfaces resulting in signif...
