this work presents free vibration analysis of laminated rectangular plates with classical boundary conditions based on the classical plate theory (cpt). the first involves an s-fgm plate with different boundary conditions. then involves a two-layer plate in which an s-fgm layer is coated on a homogeneous substrate with classical boundary conditions, simply called an s-fgm-coated plate; the othe...

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have excellent chemical durability, mechanical strength and electrical properties. Therefore, there is interest in CNTs for not only electrical and mechanical applications, but also biological and medical applications. We coated titanium, a common material for dental implants, with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). First, titanium was aminated and covered with colla...

Background and Objectives: Increased environmental concerns about synthetic packaging have promoted developments of novel, environmentally-friendly edible films. In the present study, the quality parameters of chicken egg coated with pectin or pectin incorporated cinnamon hydrosol was assessed. Materials and Methods: Egg chicken were coated with pectin and pectin prepared with cinnamon hydroso...

In this study, the newly designed bipolar plate for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) was produced by spray-coating the Ni65Cr15P16B4 metallic glassy alloy on Al plate. The Ni65Cr15P16B4 metallic glass was adopted as a coating material because of its excellent corrosion resistance and the high velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) spray coating was used for the metallic glass deposition on the Al ...

The purpose of total joint arthroplasty is to reduce pain and restore function. Its success depends on the formation of a new bone that stabilizes the prosthesis. The proposed solution for this important problem is to have bio-coated implant surfaces which are more conductive to bone growth. Additionally, collagen has long been used as a matrix for medical applications, because of its biocompat...

Neurotrophin-coated nanoscale magnetic beads were used to regulate the differentiation and survival of neurons. The beads coated with nerve growth factor (NGF) or brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) promoted neurite outgrowths of neurons in the same manner as soluble NGF or soluble BDNF, but beads coated with bovine serum albumin did not promote neurite outgrowths. When the volume of NGF-c...

A tissue-engineered endothelial layer was prepared by culturing endothelial cells on a fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2)-l-ascorbic acid phosphate magnesium salt n-hydrate (AsMg)-apatite (Ap) coated titanium plate. The FGF-2-AsMg-Ap coated Ti plate was prepared by immersing a Ti plate in supersaturated calcium phosphate solutions supplemented with FGF-2 and AsMg. The FGF-2-AsMg-Ap layer on the...

The present work deals on the experimental investigation on the heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of CNT coating on a stainless steel substrate in a rectangular macro channel with water as the working fluid. The experiments were conducted under both laminar and turbulent flow conditions with Reynolds number varying from 500-2600. The experimental results using an uncoated stainles...

century. The process involved polishing a silver coated copper plate, made photo sensitive by exposure to halogens, then exposed to light, and finally coated with gold. This complex, intricate process has yielded some of the most iconic images of the 19 th century. Unfortunately, in some instances plate interaction with storage materials have yielded objects ranging from pristine to disfigured....

Foreign surface pacification may significantly reduce the detrimental effects of the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) circuit. To date, albumin is the only intervention consistently shown to be beneficial. The cationic physical properties of aprotinin and the known negative charge on the plastic CPB circuit mean that aprotinin binds to the CPB circuit and membrane oxygenator. A previously validated...
