Single crystalline SnO micro-disks, synthesized by a carbothermal reduction process, exhibited a nearly 1000-fold increase in resistance upon exposure to 100 ppm of NO2 without addition of catalysts or dopants nor the ...

In the construction of buildings and infrastructures, high resistance materials are used due to current design requirements, concrete being one of the main materials used in the execution of these projects whose cement ...

Pig houses provide a highly aggressive environment to concrete structures. The chemical aggressiveness generated by pig manure may cause wear, loss in strength and premature damage to floors, leading to animal hoof diseases. ...

The quest for new light-weight materials with superior mechanical properties is a goal of materials scientists and engineers worldwide. A promising route in this pursuit is drawing inspiration from nature to design and ...

Bioactive packaging has the unique role of enhancing food impact over the consumers? health through the creation of healthier packaged foods. In this sense, it can be considered as an innovative strategy in the production ...

Background: Nano-hydroxyapatite particles have better bioactivity than the coarse crystals. So, they can be utilized for engineered tissue implants with improved efficiency over other materials. The development of materials ...
