atp-sensitive potassium (katp) channel openers have a relaxation effect due to the lower cellular membrane potential and inhibit calcium influx. there has been considerable interest in exploring katp channel openers in the treatment of various diseases such as cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and urinary system disease and premature labor. the purpose of this study was to synthesize 3,3,6,6-tet...

The focus of the present study is on fibre-reinforced geopolymer composites, whose optimization and application necessarily need a detailed chemical characterization at micro-nanoscale. In this regard, many composites presenting micro nanometric architectures pose challenge for scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis (SEM-EDS) quantification, because several pote...

Prussian blue nanoparticles (PBNPs) with controlled nano-geometry were synthesized from a single precursor (potassium hexacyanoferrate) in the presence of three different reagents, namely, polyethylenimine (PEI), tetrahydrofuran (THF)/H 2 O , and 2-(3,4-epoxycyclohexyl)-ethyl-trimethoxysilane (EETMS)/cyclohexanone, which enabled nucleation stabilization PBNPs variable plasmonic activities for s...

objective: maintaining the health of oral tissues is a major goal in dentistry. however, limitations in dental materials, instruments, procedures and medications prevent achievement of this goal. advances in nanotechnology have paved the way to approach this goal. this study reviews the advances on nanotechnology in dentistry. review of literatures: in this review study, google scholar, pubmed,...

This current study reviews the utilization of traditional extraction methods and latest findings in silica from agricultural wastes, particular, sugarcane bagasse, using inorganic acids to produce nano-silicon. The three key processes discussed detail include electrochemical, ball milling, sol–gel processes. bagasse has been identified as cheapest source producing potential raw material for pre...

This paper presents the preparation and characterization of a porous antimicrobial composite material consisting diatomaceous earth, an inorganic pore-forming agent, nano-zinc oxide (ZnO). A modified direct precipitation device produced high-surface area ZnO powder. The effect reaction temperature, volume flow rate, titration rate on particle size was studied. Using sodium chloride, potassium n...

In this study, CBR PLUS was used on gravel roads to reduce erosion and consequently maintenance costs of forest road network. Nano-polymer CBR PLUS with weight percentages of 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.00% in water were added to the surfacing materials of a forest road in Nekachoob Company of Iran. A comparative soil chemical and mechanical test for untreated and treated soil was carried out to obs...

Electro deposition of NiFeWS thin films was carried out from Tri Potassium citrate bath at a constant current density (1 A/dm) and controlled pH of 8 by varying bath temperature. Physical properties such as surface morphology, microstructure and magnetic properties such as coercivity, saturation magnetization, magnetic flux density were investigated for electrodeposited NiFeWS soft magnetic thi...
