Electrophoretic Coating of Hydroxyapatite-Boron Nitride Nanocomposites on Titanium Implants

Bakan F., Sezen M., Goncu Y., Ay N., Sabanci University, TR

Titanium (Ti) and its alloys have long been used as implant materials in dental and orthopedic applications. However, they can suffer certain disadvantages, such as poor osteoinductive properties and low corrosive-wear resistance. The potential of [...]

Formation of Nano CoFe2O4 Crystallites in Hydroxyapatite

Pon-On W., Tang I.M., Mahidol University, TH

Embedding nano size CoFe2O4 ferrite particles in a hydroxyapatite (HAP) host would make them to better candidates for hyperthermia treatment of cancer. The formation of nano crystallites of CoFe2O4 ferrites in the hydroxyapatite Ca10-3xFe2xCox(PO4)6(OH)2 (where [...]

Impedance Characterization of Dielectric and Semiconducting Materials with Organic Capacitors for Organic Transistors

Li C.M., Pan L.K., Sun C.Q., Zhang J., Gamota D., Nanyang Technological University, SG

Characterization of the properties of OFET materials and devices have been conducted by I-V or C-V curves that used in MOS devices for provide information of basic shape, threshold voltage, mobility effects, velocity saturation, scaling, [...]

Mechanical Nonlinear Generation with Coupled Torsional Harmonic Cantilevers for Sensitive and Quantitative Atomic Force Microscopy Imaging of Material Characteristics

Sahin O., Quate C.F., Solgaard O., Stanford University, US

Tapping-mode atomic force microscopy has been the most widely used mode of operation. Due to non-linear tip-sample forces, dynamics of the cantilever motion is an extremely rich problem. Recent studies have shown that higher harmonics [...]
