Hydroxyapatite (HA) is a widely used bioceramic known for its chemical similarity with that of bone and teeth (Ca/P ratio of 1.67). But, owing to its extreme brittleness, alpha-Al2O3 is reinforced with HA and processed as ...

In the present paper, dry sliding wear behaviour of Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy consisting of bimodal microstructure sliding against EN-31 steel at different sliding velocities (0.3, 0.6 and 0.9 m/s) and applied loads (60, ...

Lysophosphatidyl acyltransferase (LPAT) is one of the major triacylglycerol synthesis enzymes, controlling the metabolic flow of lysophosphatidic acid to phosphatidic acid. Experimental studies in Arabidopsis have shown ...

Carbothermic reduction of oxide minerals is one of the major routes to obtain the corresponding metals. This process produces a lot of CO2, which is responsible for greenhouse effect. Alternatively, hydrogen plasma containing ...

A simple microwave assisted hydrothermal precipitation (M-H) technique for the synthesis of Ag@SnO2 core-shell structure nanoparticles (NPs) is reported. Ag NPs were synthesized via chemical reduction of metal salt followed ...
