Adsorption of an anionic surfactant at air-liquid and different solid-liquid interfaces from solutions containing high counter-ion concentration
(
Springer Verlag
, 2015 , Article)
The self-assembly (adsorption) of the anionic surfactant, sodium dodecylbenzenesulphonate (SDBS), at air-liquid and different (octadecanethiol, β-mercaptoethanol, α-lipoic acid) solid-liquid interfaces from aqueous solutions ...
Synthesis and electrochemical properties of nickel oxide/carbon nanofiber composites
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
The electrospinning of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) with a polyaniline and graphene sol–gel mixture produced uniform, smooth fibers with an average diameter of 0.3 μm. These electrospun fibers were stabilized for 2 h at 200 °C ...
Glycoprofiling as a novel tool in serological assays of systemic sclerosis: A comparative study with three bioanalytical methods
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune disease seriously affecting patient’s quality of life. The heterogeneity of the disease also means that identification and subsequent validation of biomarkers of the disease is ...
High Excitation Intensity Opens a New Trapping Channel in Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Perovskite Nanoparticles
(
American Chemical Society
, 2016 , Article)
We investigated the excited-state dynamics of CH3NH3PbBr3 perovskite nanoparticles (NPs) and bulk crystals under various excitation intensity regimes using transient absorption spectroscopy. We confirmed the sub-band gap ...
Vaccine-Induced Antibodies that Neutralize Group 1 and Group 2 Influenza A Viruses
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
Antibodies capable of neutralizing divergent influenza A viruses could form the basis of a universal vaccine. Here, from subjects enrolled in an H5N1 DNA/MIV-prime-boost influenza vaccine trial, we sorted hemagglutinin ...
Processing, characterization and modeling of recycled polypropylene/glass fibre/wood flour composites
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
Polypropylene (PP) is one of the most common thermoplastic materials in the world. There is a need to recycle the large amount of this used material. To overcome the environmental problems, related to the polymer waste, ...
Designing dual phase sensing materials from polyaniline filled styrene-isoprene-styrene composites
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
The demand for developing oil detectors is ever increasing since the cleanup and recovery from oil spill usually take long time. Here we propose oil sensors made of polyaniline (PANI) filled poly(styrene-isoprene-styrene) ...
Novel deformation structures of pure titanium induced by room temperature equal channel angular pressing
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2014 , Article)
Novel deformation structures of commercial pure (CP) Ti induced by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) at room temperature have been studied by electron backscattering diffraction (EBSD). All the deformation twins occurring ...
No (Gulf) Country for Syrian Refugees
(
The Council on Foreign Relations
, 2015 , Article)
A common reaction to the ongoing migrant crisis has been to blame Europe: how can the wealthy nations of western Europe allow such a tragedy? More recently, however, media and popular scrutiny have turned back toward the ...
