Development of a novel colorimetric immunoassay for C-Reactive Protein using colloidal nanoparticles
(2019-05-22)C-Reactive Protein is an inflammation marker that is known as an early indicator of a wide range of diseases. Most importantly, it predicts the risk of future cardiovascular medical events in serum concentrations of 0.1 ... -
The effect of spinel ferrites on the performance of lithium-sulfur batteries
(2019-05-22)Sulfur is an interesting cathode material for Lithium-ion battery as it provides a high specific capacity of 1675 𝑚𝐴 ℎ 𝑔−1. However, obstacles contributed by dissolution of cathode materials need to be overcome before ... -
Extrusion foaming of polyethylene/nanoclay composites with supercritical carbon dioxide
(2019-05-15)This study investigated the nucleation efficiency of Cloisite15 nanoclay in a nanocomposite based on a polyethylene matrix and the usage of supercritical carbon dioxide as the physical blowing agent in an extrusion foaming ... -
Revealing the microstructure of metals using ion-irradiation
(2019-05-15)Metallography is concerned with finding the ideal surface processing conditions to reveal the microstructure of metals. Ion etching is one such technique, but its applications have been limited mostly to polishing and grain ... -
Sunflower protein amyloid-carbon hybrid membranes for water purification
(2019-05-14)Water pollution is a crisis affecting millions of living organisms globally. A major source of pollutant comes from the presence of toxic heavy metals discharged into water bodies by industries. Existing water technologies, ... -
Development of scaffolds for tissue engineering applications
(2019-05-08)Alginate has been widely used as cell carriers for cell-based therapy applications due to its intrinsic properties, such as non-toxic and non-antigenicity. However, the bioinert behavior of alginate often resulted in poor ... -
Effect of carbon to the transmittance and photothermal effect of vanadium dioxide
(2019-05-07)Vanadium Dioxide (VO2) is a widely studied thermochromic material which shows attractive properties in energy preservation. The unique thermochromic property of VO2 is due to its transition at its phasing changing temperature, ... -
Feasibility study on using kefiran as material for oral thin films
(2019-05-02)While it is widely recognised that the use of oral thin films is a drug delivery technique novelty in the pharmaceutical industry and much research has been done, it is understood that clinical trials still demand rigorous ... -
Two-dimensional melting of polydisperse hard-disk system with pinning
(2019-05-02)The melting transition of the two-dimensional system is one of the famous unresolved questions in phase transformations that attract physicists’ attention continuously. One unique feature of two-dimensional melting is the ... -
Synthesis and characterization of ceria and yttria co-doped zirconia ceramics
(2019-04-23)Zirconia exists as multiple phases, with monoclinic phase being the most stable in room temperatures. However, with doping of suitable compounds, tetragonal phase and cubic phases can be stabilized at room temperatures. ... -
