Abstract A simple, rapid, and low‐cost method for preparation of Co 3 O 4 nanoparticles (Co ‐1 ‐2) using solid‐state calcination mixture Co(NO ) 2 ∙6H salicylic acid (1:1 weight ratio) at two different temperatures 500 600°C is reported. The morphologies structure the as‐prepared were characterized X‐ray diffraction (XRD) transmission electron microscope (TEM). In addition, we tested them as an anode material lithium‐ion batteries. cycling stability electrochemical performance excellent....
Nanofibrous scaffolds loaded with bioactive nanoparticles are promising materials for bone tissue engineering.In this study, composite nanofibrous membranes containing a copolymer of L-lactide and glycolide (PLGA) diamond were fabricated by an electrospinning technique. PLGA was dissolved in mixture methylene chloride dimethyl formamide (2:3) at concentration 2.3 wt%, nanodiamond (ND) powder added 0.7 wt% (about 23 dry PLGA).In the scaffolds, ND particles either arranged like beads central...
Nearly equiatomic AlCoCrFeNi alloy samples were prepared by induction melting and mechanical alloying (MA) combined with spark plasma sintering (SPS). The cast sample showed a dendritic microstructure composed of spinodally decomposed nanometric constituents the B2 BCC phases. sintered exhibited an ultrafine-grained phase FCC solid solution Cr23C6 carbides. MA+SPS was strengthened compressive stress-strain test up to yield strength 2029 ± 5 MPa, resulting significantly higher compared 1366...

The development of intrinsic vacancies in SnSe single crystals was investigated as a function annealing temperature by means positron annihilation spectroscopy accompanied transport measurements. It has been demonstrated that two types are present single-crystalline SnSe. While Sn dominate the low-temperature region, Se and vacancy clusters govern high-temperature region. These findings supported theoretical calculations enabling direct detection quantification most favorable type vacancies....
Various types of nanofibers are increasingly used in tissue engineering, mainly for their ability to mimic the architecture at nanoscale. We evaluated adhesion, growth, viability, and differentiation human osteoblast-like MG 63 cells on polylactide (PLA) prepared by needle-less electrospinning loaded with 5 or 15 wt % hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoparticles. On day 7 after seeding, cell number was highest samples HA. This result confirmed XTT test, especially dynamic cultivation, when...
There are relatively few nanotechnologies that can produce nanocomposite scaffolds for cell growth. Electrospinning has emerged as the foremost method of producing nanofibrous biomimetic tissue engineering applications.
