Polymeric Membranes Doped with Halloysite Nanotubes Imaged using Proton Microbeam Microscopy [PDF]
Polymeric membranes are useful tools for water filtration processes, with their performance strongly dependent on the presence of hydrophilic dopants. In this study, polyaniline (PANI)-capped aluminosilicate (halloysite) nanotubes (HNTs) are dispersed ...

Fluoride Retention in Root Dentin following Surface Coating Material Application [PDF]
This study aimed to use an in-air micro-particle-induced X-ray/gamma emission (in-air µPIXE/PIGE) system to evaluate tooth-bound fluoride (T-F) in dentin following the application of fluoride-containing tooth-coating materials.

In-Air Micro-PIXE Mapping with Chemical Contrast. [PDF]
Currently, chemically specific X-ray fluorescence imaging is restricted to synchrotron facilities and based on the chemical selectivity of X-ray absorption spectra. In this article, we demonstrate the capability of high-energy-resolution micro-PIXE spectroscopy to perform two-dimensional (2D) chemical state mapping of sulfur and phosphorus within ...
