Development of the large-tonnage pressure-type prestressed anchor cable with BFRP for geotechnical engineering and its mechanical properties
(Wiley/Hindawi, 2022)
Prestressed anchor cable is widely used in geotechnical engineering to control the displacement or landslide of an unstable slope.
However, the traditional cable anchor is made of steel material, which is easy to get rust ...
Formulation and evaluation of Fenbendazole extended-release extrudes processed by hot-melt extrusion
(MDPI, 2022-10-06)
This study aimed to demonstrate the feasibility of hot-melt extrusion in the development of
extended-release formulations of Fenbendazole (Fen) dispersed in PEO/PCL blend-based matrices.
Their thermal, physical, chemical ...
Turning agricultural waste into wealth: production of sustainable cellulose for hydroponic farming
(Technological University of the Shannon Midlands Midwest, 2022)
Globally, it is estimated that approximately 998 million of agricultural wasteis produced yearly. This enormous amount of waste has become a matter of great public concern. However, agricultural waste is a natural resource ...
Lower critical solution temperature tuning and swelling behaviours of NVCL-based hydrogels for potential 4DF printing applications.
(MDPI, 2022-08-02)
The phase transitions of poly (N-vinyl caprolactam) (PNVCL) hydrogels are currently
under investigation as possible materials for biomedical applications thanks to their thermosensitive
properties. This study aims to use ...
Functionality of gold-edge-coated triangular silver nanoparticles in monitoring extracellular matrix protein conformations in C2C12/MC3T3-E1 culture in the presence of biomimetic bone tissue regeneration scaffolds
(TUS Midlands Midwest, 2022)
In the cellular environment high
noise levels can both mediate and
interfere with cellular functions.The extracellular matrix (ECM)
regulates protein dynamics and
trajectories, which underpin
critical biological ...
Shape memory alloy-based wearables: a review, and conceptual frameworks on HCI and HRI in Industry 4.0
(MDPI, 2022-09-08)
Ever since its discovery, the applications of Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) can be found
across a range of application domains, from structural design to medical technology. This is based
upon the unique and inherent ...
The development of novel polymeric delivery systems for the controlled release of therapeutic agents to prevent the spread of zoonotic diseases
(2022)
The potential for zoonotic transmission - a disease transmitted from animals to people
- of many disease pathogens is a significant concern worldwide. It is estimated that
60 of human emerging infectious diseases, including ...
The osteoinduction of C2C12 myoblast cell-line treated with growth factor-incorporated biocomposites
(TUS Midlands Midwest, 2022)
Bone regeneration scaffold serves as an alternative treatment to critical bone defects,
substituting the traditional gold standard autologous bone grafting. A number of
biomaterials and osteogenic growth factors are of ...
Self-photopolymerizable hydrogel-ceramic composites with scavenger properties
(MDPI, 2022-03-21)
The photocatalytic behaviours of semiconductive ceramic nanoparticles such as TiO2, ZnO, Fe2O3, and Fe3O4, have been extensively studied in photocatalysis and photopolymerization, due to their ability to produce radical ...
An ensemble machine learning method for microplastics identification with FTIR spectrum
(Elsevier, 2022-06-20)
Microplastics (MPs) (size < 5 mm) marine pollution have been investigated and monitored by many researchers
and found in many coasts around the world. These toxic chemicals make their way into human diet through food ...
