In this work, new samples of PVA-TiO2/Cu nanocomposites were prepared via the casting method. The prepared samples were examined using different analytical methods. An XRD analysis showed the semi-crystalline nature of the PVA polymer, as well as sho...

Nanomaterial-based catalytic conversion of hazardous organic pollutants into benign substances is one of the green methods employed for wastewater treatment. This study demonstrates the fabrication of (rGO-ZnO)/CuO nanocomposites (NCs) via a microwav...

Extensive exploration is required to deploy mineralization as a tool to develop low-cost yet efficient sustained drug release systems. Unlike previous studies which directly incorporated drug components in mineralized products, we propose an emerging...

Bulk nanostructured metals and alloys are finding increasing structural applications due to their superior mechanical properties. The methods that rely on the severe plastic deformation technique for effecting microstructural refinement through impos...

Isotropic TFT characteristics are realized in the {100}-oriented grain-boundary-free 60 nm thick Si film obtained by the continuous-wave laser lateral crystallization, where the grain- and sub-boundaries are defined as the crystallographic boundaries...

The uniaxial tensile behaviors of Fe-19Cr-16Mn-2Mo-0.49N and Fe-18Cr-16Mn-2Mo-0.85N high-nitrogen and nickel-free austenitic stainless steels at two strain rates of 10−2 s−1 and 10−4 s−1 were comparatively investigated. The re...

In the present research work we have examined the biosensing capabilities of one-dimensional photonic crystals with defects for the detection and sensing of malaria infection in humans by investigating blood samples containing red blood cells. This t...

In the present work, the noncentrosymmetric 2D ternary Janus monolayers Al2XX’(X/X’ = S, Se, Te and O), Si2XX’(X/X’ = P, As, Sb and Bi), and A2PAs(A = Ge, Sn and Pb) have been studied based on first-principles calculations. We...

In this study, the surface morphology and luminescence characteristics of InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells were studied by applying different flow rates of ammonia during MOCVD growth, and the best growth conditions of InGaN layers for green laser di...

Electrochemical removal of organic pollutants represents an attractive methodology in water depollution. The key challenges for researchers comprise finding simple, affordable electrode materials with satisfactory efficiency in all ranges of pollutan...
