Responsive polymeric nanostructures are being designed to improve the efficiency of existing treatment techniques by delivering therapeutics in precise locations. The properties of the particles can be altered to act as a probe for imaging applications also. Hence, an effective theranostic agent can be tailor-made to meet the requirements. The pH variability has aroused considerable interest in nano-responsive-stimulus production since the mild acidic condition is a hallmark of the tumor microenvironment. The cargo sealed inside the carrier will be released either by swelling or disassembly of the carrier as they meet a pH drop. The modification strategy for the synthesis …

Journal of Metals, Materials and Minerals
Defects can be caused by the thermal oxide scale that forms on the surface of steel during the hot rolling process. The oxidation and adhesion of scale on silicon-containing hot-rolled steel were investigated in a flowing 20% O2-N2 gas mixture at 900°C. Scale spallation was observed using a tensile testing machine equipped with a CCD camera. The thickness of the scale was 3.45 μm for the higher silicon steel and 4.86 μm for the lower silicon steel. The oxide scale consists of hematite, magnetite, wustite, and iron. The strain that caused the first spallation was used to calculate the mechanical …

Journal of Metals, Materials and Minerals
AISI 430 ferritic stainless steel is a promising candidate for utilising as interconnects of solid oxide fuel cells due to its cost effectiveness and durability. Many methods for applying coating on steel substrates have been developed in order to decrease the degradation of steel due to oxidation rate and chromium volatile problems. Manganese-cobalt spinel exhibits high conductivity, thermal expansion compatible with ferritic stainless steels, and forms a barrier to inhibit chromium migration during oxidation. Copper can be added to manganese-cobalt spinel to improve electrical conductivity of the spinel coating. This work investigated oxide scale formation and oxidation rate of Mn-Co …

The exponential growth in the requirement of fuel cells and batteries leads to increased demand for cobalt due to its common use in high-performance Li-ion batteries and high-temperature fuel cells/electrolyzers. This sharp increment in demand raises concern about the availability of limited reserves of cobalt which can impact the price of cobalt. Moreover, the geographic limitations of cobalt resources may endanger the whole supply chain. In addition to all those, huge moral issues of cobalt mining are also another problem. Hence, leading battery, fuel cells and electrolyzer manufacturers are looking for sustainable alternatives to reduce cobalt dependency. A more specific …

Journal of Metals, Materials and Minerals
The TiO2 anodized films generated at low current density after annealing are good candidates for surface coating, as a hydrophilicity is a crucial characteristic that determines dental implant applications. In this study, the hydrophilicity of TiO2 anodized films annealed at various temperatures was examined. It was found that increasing the annealing temperature during the anodization procedure improves the hydrophilicity of the TiO2 anodized films. This is related to the evolution of the TiO2 anodized film structure produced by raising the annealing temperature, which converts the TiO2 anodized amorphous phase to rutile phases. Moreover, increased annealing temperature results in more oxygen …
