In this study, the efficacy of electron beam irradiation versus chemical coupling for yielding polyethersulfone (PES) membranes with antibacterial properties was investigated. For the surface coating, a recently discovered lead compound, IL-KKA, comprising a short peptide sequence functionalized with imidazolium groups, was used. For better integration within the membrane, several novel variant...

The crossing point current of forward I-V curves (IXing) at 25 and 125 C was measured and simulated for 4.5kV/320A silicon power P-i-N diode irradiated by electron, proton and combined electron-proton irradiation. The proton and electron irradiation are shown eto decrease the magnitude of IXing which is beneficial for paralleling of diodes under surge conditions. With increasing irradiation dos...

We demonstrate that if charging caused by electron irradiation of an insulator is controlled by a defocused flux of soft-landing positive ions, secondary electron ~SE! images can contain contrast due to lateral variations in ~i! changes in the SE yield caused by subsurface trapped charge and ~ii! the SE-ion recombination rate. Both contrast mechanisms can provide information on microscopic vari...

Objective(s): According to the unique properties of magnetic nanoparticles, Nickel Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOF) was synthesized successfully by ultrasound irradiation. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are organic–inorganic hybrid extended networks that are constructed via covalent linkages between metal ions/metal clusters and organic ligands called a linker. Materials and Methods: The nanopar...

We investigated chemical and physical processes in electron-irradiated ammonia-water ices at temperatures of 10 and 50 K. Chemically speaking, the formation of hydroxylamine (NH(2)OH) was observed in electron-irradiated ammonia-water ices. The synthesis of molecular hydrogen (H(2)), molecular nitrogen (N(2)), molecular oxygen (O(2)), hydrazine (N(2)H(4)), and hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)), which...

We propose a novel technique to grow the single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with specific chirality at the desired position using free electron laser (FEL) irradiation during growth and surface treatment. As a result, only the semiconducting SWNTs grew at the area between triangle electrodes, where the ozone treatment was done to be hydrophilic when an alcohol chemical vapor deposition (ACC...

−Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) is used for a variety of applications due to its superior properties of high viscosity at a low concentration. In this study, the difference between a gamma ray (GR) irradiation from Co-60 and an electron beam (EB) irradiation with 10 MeV Energy on the viscosity change in CMC solution was compared. At the same irradiation doses, the viscosity of the CMC solution wa...

silver nanoparticles (nps) have been the subjects of researchers because of their unique properties ( e.g., size and shape depending optical, antimicrobial, and electrical properties). a variety of preparation techniques have been reported for the synthesis of silver nps; notable examples include, laser ablation, gamma irradiation, electron irradiation, chemical reduction, photochemical methods...

Introduction: Total Skin Electron Therapy (TSET) and Total Body Irradiation (TBI) are kinds of treatment which use electron and photon beams to treat special types of cancers. The aim of these techniques are to deliver uniform dose to the entire skin while minimizing delivered dose to organs at risk. To check the homogeneity of dose delivery in TBI and TSET, using a humanoid ph...

Ionic liquid (IL) has various attractive features and attract a great attention as new functional materials for applications. Recently, it has been reported that ILs were applied in scanning electron microscopic (SEM) observation because they do not vaporized even in vacuum condition [1]. Moreover, they can be also used as solvents and supporting films of nanoparticles for transmission electron...
