Measurements of photoluminescence, electronic surface states and effective surface area, at various stages of the anodization process, are presented. The results show a behavior different from that observed on n-type porous Si.

Porous graphene (PG), graphenylene (GP), inorganic graphenylene (IGP-BN), and porous boron nitride (PBN) single-layer have been studied via periodic density functional theory with a modified B3LYP functional and an ...

The current work presents a mathematical solution for the flow of a Herschel-Bulkley fluid over a porous bed. To obtain the velocity profile, a dimensional analysis is firstly conducted for the Darcian-like flow, showing ...

Ti foams are attractive for orthopaedic applications due to reduced Young's modulus and ability of bone in-growth. However, poor corrosion behaviour and lack of bioactivity are yet to be overcome. In the present work, ...

The present paper deals with the immobilization of redox mediators and proteins onto protected porous silicon surfaces to obtain their direct electrochemical reactions and to retain their bioactivities. This paper shows ...

Background: Implants or implantable devices should integrate into the host tissue faster than fibrous capsule formation, in which the design of the interface is one of the biggest challenges. Generally, bioactive materials ...
