In the present work, we study growth of hydroxyapatite formation on different TiO(2) nanotube layers. The layers were fabricated by electrochemical anodization titanium in fluoride-containing electrolytes. To various lengths, with an individual tube diameter 100 nm grown to a thickness approximately 2 mum or 500 nm. ability form apatite was examined immersion tests combined SEM, XRD and FT-IR investigations. For reference, experiments also carried out compact anodic results clearly show that...
Solar energy harvesting is largely limited by the spectral sensitivity of employed conversion system, where usually large parts solar spectrum do not contribute to scheme, and where, contributing fraction, full potential each photon efficiently used in generation electrical or chemical energy. Extrinsic sensitization through photoluminescent has been proposed as a route at least partially overcome this problem. Here, we discuss approach emerging context photochemical storage natural...
Abstract Bioinert zirconia surfaces exhibit a low chemical bonding potential to resin‐based luting agents. The aim was hydroxylate dental and examine tensile bond strength using commercial measured compared with established mechanical conditioning techniques. Five acidic one alkaline hydroxylation pretreatments were applied air abrasion tribochemical silica coating. For the characterization of hydroxyl groups value, powders used, chemically modified, analyzed Fourier‐transformed infrared...
Alumina toughened zirconia (ATZ) and alumina (ZTA) are currently the materials of choice to meet need for tough, strong, bioinert ceramics medical devices. However, mechanical properties ZrO2/Al2O3 dispersion could be considerably increased by reducing corresponding grain sizes improving homogeneity phase dispersion. Here, we prepare nanoparticles with an intraparticular distribution Zr(1-x)Al(x)O(2-x/2) (γ-, δ-)Al2O3 simultaneous gas condensation laser co-vaporized raw powders. During...
Abstract The aims of the current study were to synthesize new responsive polymeric microgels with embedded silver nanoparticles and then employ these particles as catalyst for reduction reactions. To ends, stimuli‐responsive from PNIPAAm chitosan derivative firstly synthesized by free radical precipitation polymerization. Then, inside microgel networks in situ AgNO 3 . These temperature/pH sensitive a phase transition temperature 32–35 °C water at pH = 8, respectively. catalytic activity Ag...
