Antibacterial activity of therapeutic agent-immobilized nanostructured TiCaPCON films against antibiotic-sensitive and antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli strains
(Elsevier, 2021-01-15)
The development of flexible and low-cost methods of surface functionalization to fight infection at the early stage is an urgent scientific task. Herein, polymerization in low-pressure plasma rich in COOH species and ...
Efficient Protein Transfection by Swarms of Chemically Powered Plasmonic Virus-Sized Nanorobots
(American Chemical Society, 2021-08-24)
Transfection is based on nonviral delivery of nucleic acids or proteins into cells. Viral approaches are being used; nevertheless, their translational capacity is nowadays decreasing due to persistent fear of their safety, ...
Versatile Design of Functional Organic-Inorganic 3D-Printed (Opto)Electronic Interfaces with Custom Catalytic Activity
(Wiley-VCH, 2021-10-01)
The ability to combine organic and inorganic components in a single material represents a great step toward the development of advanced (opto)electronic systems. Nowadays, 3D-printing technology has generated a revolution ...
High-energy ball milling and spark plasma sintering of molybdenum - lanthanum oxide (Mo-La2O3) and molybdenum - lanthanum zirconate (Mo-La2Zr2O7) composite powders
(Elsevier, 2022-01-01)
The current study is focused on the preparation of Mo-10 vol%La2O3 and Mo-10 vol% La2Zr2O7 composite powders via low- and high-energy ball milling approaches as potential candidates for near-future high-temperature structural ...
Non-Linear Model Predictive Control of Cabin Temperature and Air Quality in Fully Electric Vehicles
(IEEE, 2021-01-25)
This article describes an application of Non-linear Model Predictive Control algorithms on energy efficient control of fully electric vehicle cabin temperature and air quality. Since fully electric vehicles can not utilize ...
Synchronous Reluctance Motor Parameter and State Estimation Using Extended Kalman Filter and Current Derivative Measurement
(IEEE, 2021-03-01)
The synchronous reluctance motor is becoming a very attractive alternative to the AC induction machine. This is due to the lack of rare-earth metals in their construction and a higher efficiency, which was brought about ...
X-ray microtomography–based atlas of mouse cranial development
(Oxford University Press, 2021-03-02)
X-ray microtomography (CT) has become an invaluable tool for non-destructive analysis of biological samples in the field of developmental biology. Mouse embryos are a typical model for investigation of human developmental ...
Multifunctional Electrospun Nanofibers Based on Biopolymer Blends and Magnetic Tubular Halloysite for Medical Applications
(MDPI, 2021-11-09)
Tubular halloysite (HNT) is a naturally occurring aluminosilicate clay with a unique combination of natural availability, good biocompatibility, high mechanical strength, and functionality. This study explored the effects ...
VOCs Sensing by Metal Oxides, Conductive Polymers, and Carbon-Based Materials
(MDPI, 2021-02-01)
This review summarizes the recent research efforts and developments in nanomaterials for sensing volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The discussion focuses on key materials such as metal oxides (e.g., ZnO, SnO2, TiO2 WO3), ...
