silicon (si) is considered as one of the beneficial elements for plants that play important roles in plant resistance to stresses. in this experiment, the effects of three levels of silicon (0, 0.85 and 1.7 mm) on the growth and physiological processes of pumpkin were studied in plants inoculated with sphaerotheca fuliginea (250000 conidia ml−1) and non-inoculated plants under hydroponic condit...

In this paper, a process for the microfabrication of a wafer-scale palladium—silver alloy membrane (Pd–Ag) is presented. Pd–Ag alloy films containing 23 wt% Ag were prepared by co-sputtering from pure Pd and Ag targets. The films were deposited on the unetched side of a 110 -oriented silicon wafer in which deep grooves were etched in a concentrated KOH solution, leaving silicon membranes with a...

In this paper, the silicon-containing sulfonated polystyrene/acrylate–ionic liquid (Si-SPS/A–IL)hybrid membranes was prepared to obtain the proton exchange membrane (PEM) materials withhigh methanol barrier and good selectivity. The Si-SPS/A–IL hybrid membranes characterized asthe function of IL to evaluate their potential as PEMs in direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs).Fourdifferent Hybrid mater...

Membrane proteins are prime drug targets as they control the transit of information, ions, and solutes across membranes. Here, we present a membrane-on-nanopore platform to analyze nonelectrogenic channels and transporters that are typically not accessible by electrophysiological methods in a multiplexed manner. The silicon chip contains 250,000 femtoliter cavities, closed by a silicon dioxide ...

An innovative process for the microfabrication of Pd-based membranes (Pd and Pd-Ag) on a <110> silicon wafer is presented. Pd-Ag alloy films containing 23wt% Ag are prepared by a dual-sputtering from pure Pd and Ag targets. In the first step, deep grooves are KOH etched in one side of a <110> oriented silicon wafer, leaving membranes with a thickness of ca. 50 μm. After Pd alloy deposition on t...

Adsorption experiment from aqueous solutions containing known amount of chromium (Cr) using hybrid membrane of chitosan and silicon dioxide was explored to evaluate the efficiency of the membrane as sorbent for Cr(VI). Some variable parameters such as pH, contact time and the dosage of the membrane were optimized. Adsorption isotherms of Cr(VI) onto the hybrid membrane were measured with varyin...

Electrochemically formed porous silicon (PS) can be released from the bulk silicon substrate by underetching at increased current density. Using this technique, two types of channels containing free-standing layers of PS were constructed, which were called multi-walled microchannels (MW Cs). They can be used in devices like microsieves, microbatteries, and porous electrodes. Two types of MW C w...
