Protective hybrid sol-gel coatings containing bioactive particles on surgical grade stainless steel: Surface characterization
(Elsevier Science, 2007-06)
Metallic materials are the most used materials as orthopaedic or dental implants for their excellent mechanical properties. However, they are not able to create a natural bonding with the mineralized bone and they could ...
Monolayer protected gold nanoparticles: theeffect of the headgroup–Au interaction
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2014-06)
In this work we present an atomistic simulation study analyzing the effect of ligand molecules on the morphology and crystalline structure of monolayer protected gold nanoparticles (NPs). In particular, we focused on Au ...
How a 16% Carbamide peroxide home Bleaching agent affects the surface properties of chairside CAD/CAM materials?
(Facultad de Odontología. Universidad de Costa Rica, 2022)
Optimization of the surface properties of nanostructured Ni-W alloys on steel by a mixed silane layer
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015-06)
Ni-W nanostructured coatings electrodeposited on steel by galvanostatic pulses were functionalized by tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) in a two-step procedure. A silica-rich layer is formed by ...
Preparation and Characterization of Silanes Films to Protect Electrogalvanized Steel
(Springer, 2018-03)
Silanes are an interesting alternative to chromate-based surface treatments for temporary protection of electrogalvanized steel. In this work, the protective behavior of 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MTMO), ...
Lithium Metal Protection by a Cross-Linked Polymer Ionic Liquid and Its Application in Lithium Battery
(American Chemical Society, 2020-01)
Lithium (Li) metal has been considered as an important anode candidate to reach more powerful energy storage devices with higher gravimetric and volumetric capacities. Nevertheless, the growth of high surface area lithium ...
Avoiding oxidation with coating: graphene protected magnesium surfaces
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019-08)
Magnesium is a promising material for automotive technology. Avoiding its spontaneous oxidation is, however, mandatory for a feasible industrial application of this metal. We perform computer simulations to demonstrate ...
Comparative effects of kaolin and calcium carbonate on apple fruit surface temperature and leaf net CO2 assimilation
(Society for the Advancement of Horticulture, 2015-07)
The use of reflective particles on apple fruits has been suggested as a tool to diminish its thermal charge and thus mitigate stress effects caused by high temperature. The products effectiveness is often expressed in terms ...
On the atomic structure of thiol-protected gold nanoparticles: A combined experimental and theoretical study
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2010-07-09)
In the present work new findings on the structure of the S-Au interface are presented. Theoretical calculations using a new semiempirical potential, based on density functional theory and a bond-order Morse potential, are ...
