Degradation and Characterization of Resorbable Phosphate-Based Glass Thin-Film Coatings Applied by Radio-Frequency Magnetron Sputtering (2015)
Journal Article

Quinternary phosphate-based glasses of up to 2.67 ?m, deposited by radio-frequency magnetron sputtering, were degraded in distilled water and phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) to investigate their degradation characteristics. Magnetron- sputtered coati... Read More about Degradation and Characterization of Resorbable Phosphate-Based Glass Thin-Film Coatings Applied by Radio-Frequency Magnetron Sputtering.

Continuous synthesis of dispersant-coated hydroxyapatite plates (2015)
Journal Article

A continuous flow hydrothermal synthetic route which allows the direct “in situ” capping/coating of hydroxyapatite nanoplates with functional dispersants in a single stage is reported. The methodology induced crystallisation by rapid mixing of stream... Read More about Continuous synthesis of dispersant-coated hydroxyapatite plates.

Rheological techniques for determining degradation of polylactic acid in bioresorbable medical polymer systems (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 AIP Publishing LLC. A method developed in the 1980s for the conversion of linear rheological data to molar mab distribution is revisited in the context of degradable polymers. The method is first applied using linear rheology for a linear poly... Read More about Rheological techniques for determining degradation of polylactic acid in bioresorbable medical polymer systems.

Numerical study on a two-stage metal hydride hydrogen compression system (2015)
Journal Article

A multistage Metal Hydride Hydrogen Compression (MHHC) system uses a combination of hydride materials in order to increase the total compression ratio, whilst maximizing the hydrogenation rate from the supply pressure at each stage. By solving the co... Read More about Numerical study on a two-stage metal hydride hydrogen compression system.

Hydrogen storage properties for Mg–Zn–Y quasicrystal and ternary alloys (2015)
Journal Article

Three Zn–Mg–Y alloys with nominal compositions of Zn50Mg42Y8 and Zn60Mg30Y10 were prepared by induction melting or gas atomisation. XRD and SEM analysis shows samples ZMY-1 and ZMY-2 consisted of multiple phases including icosahedral quasicrystal (QC...

Organic semiconductors with a charge carrier life time of over 2 hours at room temperature (2015)
Journal Article

Recently, Gao et al. reported being able to measure significant quantities of photogenerated charge up to one hour after it had been generated in an organic semiconductor device. The aim of this paper is twofold; (a) to provide conclusive experimenta... Read More about Organic semiconductors with a charge carrier life time of over 2 hours at room temperature.

Investigation of the dehydrogenation behavior of the 2LiBH(4):CaNi5 multicomponent hydride system (2015)
Journal Article

LiBH4 has gained much attention as a potential hydrogen storage material due to its high hydrogen storage capacity of 18.5 wt%. However, LiBH4 only releases its full hydrogen capacity at temperatures greater than 600 °C and requires hydrogen pressure...
