Superhydrophobic Polyester/Cotton Fabrics Modified by Barrier Discharge Plasma and Organosilanes
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
In this paper, diffuse coplanar surface barrier discharge plasma at atmospheric pressure has been used for surface modification of polyester/cotton (PESc) fabric, which was subsequently modified by sol–gel process using ...
A pH-sensitive guar gum-: Grafted -lysine-?-cyclodextrin drug carrier for the controlled release of 5-flourouracil into cancer cells
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2018 , Article)
The physiological environment is a crucial factor in biomedical systems, which can be regulated with relative ease both in vitro and in vivo. Control of pH has emerged as a powerful strategy in cancer therapy because pH ...
Blue luminescent cyanopyridone based molecular architectures: A structure-property study
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
A new class of molecular architecture made of five conjugated rings carrying terminal methyl or variable alkoxy (chain lengths of 4, 6, 8, or 16) substituted at para positions has been synthesized. Among the five rings, ...
Assessing prevalence of and barriers to medication adherence in patients with uncontrolled diabetes attending primary healthcare clinics in Qatar
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
Background: Studies conducted in Qatar have reported a high prevalence of diabetic nephropathy, retinopathy, and neuropathy. These complications are often associated with poor medication adherence and uncontrolled diabetes. ...
Nanoflower-like Yttrium-doped ZnO Photocatalyst for the Degradation of Methylene Blue Dye
(
Blackwell Publishing Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
Pure ZnO and Yttrium-doped (Y-doped) ZnO at various mol% with flower-like nanostructures are synthesized by a microwave-assisted sol�gel method, followed by investigating the morphologies, crystal structures, optical ...
Electrical characteristics and density of states of thin-film transistors based on sol-gel derived ZnO channel layers with different annealing temperatures
(
American Institute of Physics Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
We report on the fabrication and electrical characterization of bottom gate thin-film transistors (TFTs) based on a sol-gel derived ZnO channel layer. The effect of annealing of ZnO active channel layers on the electrical ...
Piezoresponse, mechanical, and electrical characteristics of synthetic spider silk nanofibers
(
MDPI AG
, 2018 , Article)
This work presents electrospun nanofibers from synthetic spider silk protein, and their application as both a mechanical vibration and humidity sensor. Spider silk solution was synthesized from minor ampullate silk protein ...
In-vitro biocompatibility, bioactivity and photoluminescence properties of Eu3+/Sr2+ dual-doped nano-hydroxyapatite for biomedical applications
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
In the present investigation, we have successfully synthesized luminescent Eu3+-doped and Eu3+/Sr2+ codoped hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoparticles through sol-gel assisted precipitation method with the aim of developing novel ...
A two-stage solar collector using a non-tracking conical concentrator and a glass lens for PV-TEG hybrid system
(
Springer Verlag
, 2018 , Article)
In this paper, a newly designed two-stage solar collector using a non-tracking conical concentrator and a glass lens has been demonstrated for the application in hybrid photo-thermo-electric system (HPTES). The revealed ...
Dielectric and electromagnetic interference shielding properties of germanium dioxide nanoparticle reinforced poly(vinyl chloride) and poly(methylmethacrylate) blend nanocomposites
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2018 , Article)
Germanium dioxide (GeO2) nanoparticles reinforced poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) blend nanocomposite films were prepared using solution casting technique. The PVC/PMMA/GeO2 nanocomposite ...
