Biofilm formation on the inner surfaces of pipes poses significant threats to water distribution systems, increasing maintenance costs and public health risks. To address this immense issue, we synthesized a nanogel formulation comprising acacia gum (AG) and chitosan (Cs), loaded with varying concentrations of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), for usin...

Incorporating nanoparticles can significantly improve the performance and functionality of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. Different techniques exist for processing, testing, and implementing nanocomposites in various industries. Depending on these factors, these materials can be tailored to suit the specific applications of the automoti...

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in vehicle cabins pose some health concerns, especially in new cars where interior plastics contribute substantially to VOCs emissions. We investigated the reasons for enhanced VOCs emissions from surface-coated thermoplastic polyester elastomer (TPEE), an automotive interior plastic. After applying solvent-based p...

A better understanding about the rolling contact fatigue and micropitting performance of machine component surfaces lubricated with environmentally friendly lubricants is critical to designing and further formulating new lubricants intended to be used in rolling–sliding contacts such as those found in gear and bearing applications. In this work, th...

Layered transition metal oxides have the greatest potential for commercial application as cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries. However, transition metal oxides inevitably undergo an irreversible oxygen loss process during cycling, which leads to structural changes in the material and ultimately to severe capacity degradation. In this work, u...

The aim of this study was to synthesize of β-cyclodextrin/Vitamin D3 (βCD/VitD3) inclusion complex and encapsulation of this complex with gelatin-coated nanoliposomes (NLPs). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed the formation of βCD/VitD3 inclusion complex. In the next step, different gelatin concentrations (1, 2, and 4 mg/mL) were use...

The further electrification of various fields in production and daily life makes it a topic worthy of exploration to improve the performance of capacitors for a long time, including thin-film capacitors. The discharge energy density of thin-film capacitors that serves as one of the important types directly depends on electric field strength and the...

Colonization of near-patient surfaces in hospitals plays an important role as a source of healthcare-associated infections. Routine disinfection methods only result in short-term elimination of pathogens. To investigate the efficiency of a newly developed antimicrobial coating containing nanosilver in long-term reduction of bacterial burden in hosp...

Arthroplasty Today
Background Ceramic coatings in total knee arthroplasty have been introduced with the aim of reducing wear and consequently improving implant survivorship. We studied both cobalt-chrome-molybdenum (CoCrMo) and ceramic-coated components of the same implant design from a single center to identify if the ceramic coating conferred any benefit. Methods W...
