Bone tissue engineering has been rapidly developed in regenerative medicine field, which aims to induce new functional bone regeneration through the synergistic combination of biomaterials and cells. Porous biomaterials with sufficient mechanical properties and functional impregnating for bone substitutes have been imposed in the oncoming generation of bone reconstruction. In this study, we fabricated Carboxymethyl chitosan three dimensional (3D) porous scaffold modified with waterborne polyurethane (WPU) through freeze drying technique. In order to check its potential in bone tissue substitutes, osteoblast cells (hFOB 1.19) were seeded onto the fabricated scaffolds and then, SEM and proliferation assay were performed. The enhanced proliferation was contributed to 3D macroporous network structure, large surface area, and osteoconductive environments.In the present study, indium tin oxide (ITO) nanorod films were produced by usage of ion-assisted electron-beam evaporation with a glancing angle deposition technique. The as-produced ITO nanorod films were annealed in the temperature range of 100-500 °C for two hours in a vacuum atmosphere. The as-produced ITO nanorod films exhibited (222) and (611) preferred orientations from the X-ray diffraction pattern. After vacuum annealing at 500 °C, the ITO nanorod films demonstrated many preferred orientations and the improvement of film crystallinity. The sheet resistance of the as-produced ITO nanorod films was 11.92 Ω/ and was found to be 13.63 Ω/ by annealing at 500 °C. The as-produced and annealed ITO nanorod films had a rod diameter of around 80 nm and transmittance in a visible zone of around 90%. The root mean square roughness of the as-produced ITO nanorod film's surface was 5.49 nm, which increased to 13.77 nm at an annealing temperature of 500 °C. The contact angle of the as-produced ITO nanorod films was 110.9° and increased to 116.5° after annealing at 500 °C.By adopting metal capping layer (MC layer), electrical properties, such as field effect mobility, on current, and subthreshold swing showed enhanced characteristics with 24.996 cm²/Vs, 2.1×10-4 and 0.34 V/decade, respectively. In addition, the stability of the negative bias thermal stress (NBTS) against the ambient environment has been shown to be enhanced by the MC layer which acts like passivation layer. Without additional passivation layer, MC layer alone sufficiently inhibited the ambient effect to show low threshold voltage shift of 0.21 V compared with 0.89 V of conventional TFT. MC layer structure, enhancing the electrical characteristic and stability, had the advantages of a process that was much simpler than conventional process for high performance and stability.We synthesize the Pt-carbon composite which is composed of unzipped multi-walled carbon nanotube (UMWCNT) and graphene oxide (GO). Graphite and multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) are oxidized by same method that modified Hummer's method for making GO and UMWCNT. 3D structure could be prepared by polyol process which contains simultaneously reduction GO and UMWCNT. The electrochemical and morphological property of Pt-carbon composites was investigated by Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), and Cyclic Voltammetry (CV). These results show that Pt-rGO/UMWCNT (82) hybrids exhibited high catalytic activity due to the enhanced surface area of carbon supports.Extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography is a prospective technology for the fabrication of integrated chips with critical dimensions (CDs) under 10-nm. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/gyy4137.html However, since chips with similar CDs have similar defect sizes, one of the most critical problems in extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUVL) is mask defect and repair. Defects cause local areas of undesired absorption, reflectivity, or phase change, which ultimately lead to imperfections in the printed image. For example, phase defects may cause substantial changes in image anomalies with different focuses. In this paper, the results of EUV vote-taking lithography are calculated and compared with other repair methods using the scattering matrix (S-matrix) method. Vote-taking lithography with the assumed perfect defect-free masks (N = 4) can maximize 90% and 91% repair improvements at pit defect and dump defect, respectively.A novel trimethylsilyl substituted hyperbranched conjugated poly(phenylene vinylene) (Hyper-PBTMS-PPV) was synthesized through the Wittig polycondensation polymerization. Hyper-PBTMSPPV has good solubility in common organic solvents and showed good thermal stability up to 402 °C with less than 5 wt% weight loss. The photophysical properties of Hyper-PBTMS-PPV film are investigated and compared with trimethylsilyl-containing linear poly(1,4-phenylene vinylene) (Linear-PBTMS-PPV). An absorption maximum of Hyper-PBTMS-PPV film was determined at 335 nm which was far blue-shifted than that of Linear-PBTMS-PPV (380 nm). Hyper-PBTMS-PPV film showed blue photoluminescence (PL) peak at 449 nm. In addition, Hyper-PBTMS-PPV film exhibited almost no long wavelength emission peaks even the film was annealed at 120 °C for 30 min in air condition. High PL efficiency (Φfilm = 0.80) and no aggregate or excimer emission of Hyper-PBTMS-PPV film are due to the inhibition of intramolecular or intermolecular interaction by the introduction of the hyperbranched network into the trimethylsilyl-containing poly(phenylene vinylene) backbone.The solid electrolyte interphase formation on the negative electrodes of lithium secondary batteries has been considered as one of the principal issues limiting the performance of batteries. Si is an attractive electrode material for improving energy density of lithium secondary batteries because of its high specific theoretical capacity (4200 mAh g-1). However, solid electrolyte interphase formation on Si-based electrodes have not been clearly understood in spite of its significance. Herein, the solid electrolyte interphase formation on Si electrodes in electrolyte solutions containing ethylene carbonate or propylene carbonate was investigated by using in-situ atomic force microscopy. Large and irreversible capacity fade in SiO electrodes was confirmed in both electrolyte solutions through cyclic voltammetry and charge/discharge testing. The in-situ atomic force microscopy results indicated that the decomposition reaction occurred in the ethylene carbonate-based electrolyte solution at a potential of ~0.68 V, while the lithium alloying reaction occurred below 0.
