Nanostructured titanium dioxide for use in bone implants: a short review

Abstract Titanium dioxide (TiO2) based nanostructured materials have shown great potential for use in implants thanks to their excellent physicochemical properties, such as high specific surface area, ability to elicit positive cell response, and stability in body fluids. However, there are few studies in the literature that focus on the use of nan...

Equivalent Cement Clinker Obtained by Indirect Mechanosynthesis Process

Published in Materials

The aim of this work is to study the heat treatment effect, milling time effect and indirect mechanosynthesis effect on the structure of the mixture limestone/clay (kaolinite). Indirect mechanosynthesis is a process that combines between mechanical activation and heat treatment at 900 °C. XRD, TGA, FTIR and particle size distribution analysis and S...

Nickel-Cerium Layered Double Hydroxide as Electrocatalyst for Glycerol Oxidation

A new nickel based layered double hydroxide nanomaterial, Ni0.8Ce0.2-LDH, constituted by about 3 nm large nanoparticles exhibiting enhanced electrocatalytic properties towards oxidation of glycerol in alkaline media, was prepared by incorporation of 20 wt.% of CeIII ions into α-nickel hydroxide. This can be oxidized to CeIV, as demonstrated by X-ra...

Multidimensional graphene nanostructures – synthesis and applications

Published in Pure and Applied Chemistry

Conventional graphene electronics fail to leverage the exceptional surface-area-to-volume ratio of graphene due to the challenges imposed by arranging two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials in three-dimensional (3D) spaces. Recently, a new topology of graphene, nanowire template 3D fuzzy graphene (NT-3DFG), has been developed to overcome this limitatio...

Harnessing host–guest interactions to control structure at the nanoscale

Published in Pure and Applied Chemistry

Host–guest interactions mediate many chemical and biochemical transformations and are extensively exploited in a number of industrially-relevant chemical processes. Many porous inorganic (e.g., zeolite) and molecular (e.g., metal-organic framework) hosts engage reagents in their environment through selective host–guest interactions. While researche...

Universal Solutions of Nonlinear Dislocation Theory for Elastic Cylinder

Published in Mechanics of Solids

Abstract—For an elastic isotropic incompressible material of general form, a number of exact solutions have been found about large torsional and tensile–compressive deformations of a solid circular cylinder, taking into account distributed dislocations. Explicit formulas are obtained that determine the effect of dislocations on the dependences of t...

Frame Coating of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes in Collagen on PET Fibers for Artificial Joint Ligaments

Published in International Journal of Molecular Sciences

The coating formation technique for artificial knee ligaments was proposed, which provided tight fixation of ligaments of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fibers as a result of the healing of the bone channel in the short-term period after implantation. The coating is a frame structure of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) in a collagen matrix,...

Nanostructured Cellulose-Based Sorbent Materials for Water Decontamination from Organic Dyes

Published in Nanomaterials

Nanostructured materials have been recently proposed in the field of environmental remediation. The use of nanomaterials as building blocks for the design of nano-porous micro-dimensional systems is particularly promising since it can overcome the (eco-)toxicological risks associated with the use of nano-sized technologies. Following this approach,...
