Pillar-layered structured nanoporous coordination polymers for carbon dioxide adsorption-based applications
(2013)
Porous coordination polymers (PCPs) have been of great interest for scientist and engineers due to their potential use in applications such as heterogeneous catalysis, molecular storage, and gas separation via adsorption. ...
Effects of collagen matrix architecture in different biomedical applications
(2020-07-24)
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is one critical component of the tissue microenvironment that regulates many cellular functions, providing biochemical and biomechanical cues for tissue development and function. Collagen is ...
Simulations of the magnetization and magnetoviscosity of dilute magnetic fluids
(2009)
In this work was studied the rotational Brownian motion of magnetic spherical and tri-axial ellipsoidal particles suspended in a Newtonian fluid, in the dilute suspension limit, under applied shear and magnetic fields by ...
Rheological characterization of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose solutions: Gelation and molecular interactions with additives
(2015)
The discovery and development of highly hydrophobic drugs represents an additional challenge for the pharmaceutical industry, as traditional methods of encapsulation, administration, and dosage are not always appropriate. ...
Synthesis of multifunctional magnetic nanoparticles for biomedical applications
(2009)
Magnetite nanoparticles are attractive for biomedical applications such as magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH), a novel cancer treatment, due to their ability to induce heating through energy dissipation in an oscillating ...
Synthesis of platinum nanostructures using zeolites
(2011)
Due to their outstanding and tunable electronic properties, platinum nanowires have the potential to be used in the development of advanced devices. The quantum confinement effect of the electrons and the increased surface ...
Examination of the effect of PEG-Rich matrices in Multi Drug Resistance-Associated Protein (MRP) and Multi Drug Resistance (MDR) substrates transport utilizing the CaCo-2 Cell Model
(2008)
Multidrug resistance (MDR) is responsible for the low absorption of a very wide range of drugs and has been recognized as one of the major hurdles in drug absorption. Crosslinked poly(ethylene glycol) based morphologies ...
Dynamics and rheology of Janus drops
(2015)
This dissertation sheds some light on the dynamics and rheological properties of compound multiphase drops in the creeping motion limit of the fluid phases from a fundamental standpoint. A compound multiphase drop can ...
Mixing of granular materials in an oscillatory shear mixer
(2009)
Mezclado es uno de los pasos más importantes en el manejo de los polvos en muchas industrias tales como en la industria química, metalúrgica, farmacéutica, alimenticia, etc., debido al gran efecto que tiene en la composición ...
Structure and rheology of colloid-in-liquid crystal composites with novel anisotropic and hierarchical microstructures
(2015)
The Green's functions integral technique is used to determine the conduction heat transfer temperature field in flat plates, circular plates, and solid spheres with saw tooth heat generating sources. In all cases the ...
