Plasma Polymerization of SnOxCy Organic-Like Films and Grafted PNIPAAm Composite Hydrogel with Nanogold Particles for Promotion of Thermal Resistive Properties

Micromachines, 2016
In this study, a new type of temperature sensor device was developed. The circular electrode of the thermally sensitive sensor was modified with tetramethyltin (TMT) and O2 plasma to form a thin SnOxCy conductive layer on the electrode surface.

A randomized trial of selenium supplementation and risk of type-2 diabetes, as assessed by plasma adiponectin [PDF]

, 2012
Background: Evidence that selenium affects the risk of type-2 diabetes is conflicting, with observational studies and a few randomized trials showing both lower and higher risk linked to the level of selenium intake and status. We investigated the effect

Gas-plasma compressional wave coupling by momentum transfer [PDF]

, 2006
Pressure disturbances in a gas-plasma mixed fluid will result in a hybrid response, with magnetosonic plasma waves coupled to acoustic waves in the neutral gas. In the analytical and numerical treatment presented here, we demonstrate the evolution of the

Plasma Membranes Modified by Plasma Treatment or Deposition as Solid Electrolytes for Potential Application in Solid Alkaline Fuel Cells

Membranes, 2012
In the highly competitive market of fuel cells, solid alkaline fuel cells using liquid fuel (such as cheap, non-toxic and non-valorized glycerol) and not requiring noble metal as catalyst seem quite promising.

Surface Activation of Wax-Based Additives to Enhance Asphalt Rheological Properties via Rotating Plasma Treatment

Buildings, 2023
Wax-based additives have been widely used in asphalt pavement for their preferable environmental benefits. However, poor compatibility between wax-based warm mix additives and asphalt easily leads to precipitation of wax and cracking of asphalt pavement.

Solvent Welding-Based Methods Gently and Effectively Enhance the Conductivity of a Silver Nanowire Network

Nanomaterials, 2023
To enhance the conductivity of a silver nanowire (Ag NW) network, a facile solvent welding method was developed. Soaking a Ag NW network in ethylene glycol (EG) or alcohol for less than 15 min decreased the resistance about 70%.
