Abstract With the goal of developing a new type of boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) agent, selective internalisation of submicrometer boron carbide spherical particles into cancer cells via surface transferrin conjugation is demonstrated and confirmed in vitro and in vivo. Herein, negatively charged, spherical, submicrometer boron carbide (B4C) particles were coated with positively charged poly-L-lysine

Abstract A systematic read on evaluating the machining characteristics of wire cut electrical discharge machining (WEDM) using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and multilinear regression model based multi objective optimization is provided during this analysis article. The current work explores, the surface roughness of copper metal matrix composite (MMCs) is minimized by optimizing the process parameters

Abstract In this study, adsorption treatment of phenol pollutant using electrospun poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) [P(3HB)] and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) [P(3HB-co-3HHx)] is highlighted for the first time. Both P(3HB) and P(3HB-co-3HHx) were extracted from bacterial cells and nanofibres were fabricated through electrospinning technique for the adsorption of phenol. The electrospun nanofibres

Abstract Mesoporous titania–ceria mixed oxide (MTCMO) was synthesised in a sol–gel method using cerium chloride and titanium isopropoxide (TTIP) as CeO2 as well as TiO2 precursors and sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) as a structure-directing agent and its application was evaluated in the synthesis of aromatic β-phosphonomalonate derivatives via cascade Knoevenagel–phospha-Michael addition reaction. The

Abstract Mitotic spindle orientation is postulated to be regulated by two mechanisms: (1) Hertwig’s rule in which cells divide perpendicular to their major axis and (2) cortical cues arising from the spatial distribution of extracellular matrix. It was shown that cortical cues override cell geometry in dictating mitotic spindle orientation for cells cultured on 2D surfaces. In this study, we seek to

Abstract In this work, by appealing to a heterometallic cluster approach, a new highly porous metal-organic framework (MOF) formulated as {(Me2NH2)[Ni3K2(TZIA)3(H2O)3]·(DMF)4}n (1) has been fabricated by a solvothermal reaction of a bifunctional organic ligand 5-(1 H-tetrazol-5-yl)isophthalic acid (H3TZIA) with the Ni(II) and K(I) salts in water and DMF mixed solvents. The resulting activated 1a has

Water-dispersible ultrasmall nanogolds (WDU AuNPs) and their dopamine-coated nanogolds (WDU AuNPs@DPAs) were prepared by a reduction method with sodium borohydride as a reducing agent and a stabilised agent of 2-mercaptosuccinic acid in aqueous solution. The effects of these nanoparticles on computed tomography (CT) imaging were evaluated. The size distributions and Zeta potential of the nanoparticles

Bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation on surfaces raises health hazard issues in the medical environment. Previous studies of bacteria adhesion have focused on observations in their natural/native environments. Recently, surface science has contributed in advancing the understanding of bacterial adhesion by providing ideal platforms that attempt to mimic the bacteria's natural environments, whilst
