Vanadium dioxide shows a passive and reversible change from a monoclinic insulator phase to a metallic tetragonal rutile structure when the sample temperature is close to and over 68°C. As a kind of functional material, VO2 thin films... more
The application of cross-linking resin is an effective method for improving and controlling dimensional stability, such as the shrinkage of viscose single jersey knits. However, such treatment often leads to a significant deterioration in... more
In the area of water purification, nanotechnology offers the possibility of an efficient removal of pollutants and germs. Today nanoparticles, nanomembrane and nanopowder used for detection and removal of chemical and biological... more
SUMMARY: Anodization is an electrochemical conversion process to form an oxide film on certain metals to increase the thickness of the natural oxide layer on metal surface parts. Most of the anodizing works are done by AC power supply at... more
Scientific Highlight in the Annual Report of the Max-Planck Institute for Iron and Steel Research, page 103.
Facile commercial production of versatile polyfunctional compounds from biomass constitutes a great challenge for establishing a sustainable chemical industry. One such example is the production of furfural and hydroxymethyl furfural via... more
There is a growing demand for flexible and soft electronic devices. In particular, stretchable, skin-mountable, and wearable strain sensors are needed for several potential applications including personalized health-monitoring, human... more
Recent advances in the design and implementation of wearable resistive, capacitive, and optical strain sensors are summarized herein. Wearable and stretchable strain sensors have received extensive research interest due to their... more
In this study, boron doped and undoped poly(vinyl) alcohol/zirconium-barium acetate (PVA/Zr-Ba) nanofibers were prepared using an electrospinning technique then calcinated at three different temperatures; 250 oC, 500 oC, 800 oC for 2 h.... more
Rationale In a previous study in healthy volunteers, the anti-Parkinsonian drug pramipexole caused sedation and pupil dilatation, consistent with the stimulation of inhibitory D2/D3 autoreceptors on the ventral tegmental area dopaminergic... more
Wearable transdermal delivery systems have recently received tremendous attention due to their noninvasive, convenient, and prolonged administration of pharmacological agents. Here, the material prospects, fabrication processes, and... more
The differences between amorphous and glassy state are discussed and the methods of their preparation reviewed. The role of crystallization during fast cooling is analyzed and nucleation-growth process is shown in two attitude models,... more
