nanoparticles made of biodegradable polymers has become the best approach for nanoparticle making due to their compatibility with the human body. new glycerol adipate polymers with hydroxyl group substituted with different percent of acyl group, sited as figures within the abbreviated name in the text, and triptophan were synthesized and proposed to be used in the preparction of dexamethason ph...

a superhydrophobic aluminum surface was fabricated through an enhanced low-cost approach and the effects of several relevant factors on static contact angle and sliding angle were investigated. first, the operating parameters including the etching time as well as the reaction time and temperature were varied. next, the so-called chemical factors including three different fatty acids and five di...

in this paper, buckling of simply supported column with an edge crack is investigated numerically and analytically. four different scenarios of damage severities are applied to a column, open crack assumption and the effect of closing crack in stability of the column which depends on position and size of cracks, are numerically compared. crack surfaces contact is modeled with gap element using ...

electrical, structural and morphological properties of ni silicide films formed in ni(pt 4at.% )/si(100) and ni0.6si0.4(pt4at.% )/si(100) structures at various annealing temperatures ranging from 200 to 1000 oc were studied. the ni(pt) and ni0.6si0.4(pt) films with thickness of 15 and 25 nm were deposited by rf magnetron co-sputtering method, respectively.  the annealing process of the structur...

design and optimization of a single crystalline silicon (c-si) solar cell is performed to achieve the maximum light conversion efficiency. various parameters such as doping concentration and thicknesses, and geometrical dimension of surface pyramids are studied. the inverted surface pyramid is used to increase the efficiency of the solar cell, and engineered oxide layer is used as the passivati...

one of the most important factors that affect tire friction is surface roughness, which determines the size of the real contact area, real pressure distribution on the contact interface, and scales of mechanical engagement between viscoelastic rubber and a rough substrate. the need to predict coefficient of friction (cof) for rubber on rough surfaces for applications such as traction of tires o...

coeffcient of  friction  (cof)  for  rubber parts  is one of  the key parameters in their interaction with solid rough surfaces (micrometer to millimeter scales),  such  as  tire-road  interactions. cof  of  rubber  depends  on  viscoelastic properties of rubber, roughness characteristics of the counter-part surface, and process variables such as contact nominal pressure and sliding speed. due ...

wetability of biocompatible polymers can be improved by plasma surface modification. the purpose of this study was to surface modify an experimental poly (dimethylsiloxane) rubber (pdms) material in order to improve its wetability and biocompatibility. surface properties of the pdms were characterized using contact angles measurement for wetability analysis. samples of experimental silicone rub...
