A new anthraquinone [1-(2-Aminoethyl)piperazinyl-9,10-dioxo-anthraquinone] derivative was synthesized and characterized by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, experimental and theoretical vibrational spectroscopy ...

Background: We evaluated the Bovine hydroxyapatite (BHA) structure. BHA powder was admixed with 5 and 10 wt% natural pumice (NP). Compression strength, Vickers micro hardness, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, ...

In this study, a sea shell was converted into bioceramic phases at three different sintering temperatures (450 degrees C, 850 degrees C, 1000 degrees C). Among the obtained bioceramic phases, a valuable beta-TCP was produced ...

The present paper aims to overcome the problems related to previous use of autologous grafts using available synthetic grafts. To examine the optimum of the ideal vessel-like constructs parameters are produced at 230 degrees ...

Inevitable caries formation and other tooth related diseases are one of the most common factors affecting human quality of life, as they are often followed by loss of teeth. Significant research efforts have been devoted ...

Hydroxyapatite (HA), obtained from bovine bones, was successfully reinforced with hexagonal boron nitrite (h-BN). h-BN/HA composites, with BN content up to 1.5 wt %, were sintered at various temperatures between 1000 and ...

The process is a simple chemical method and aims to produce nano-structured calcium phosphate powders from natural sources, for biomedical applications. For this purpose, Atlantic Deer Cowrie (ADC) shells (Cypraea cervus ...

As an alternative resin to conventional synthetic unsaturated polyesters (UPEs), epoxidized maleinated castor oil (EMACO) was synthesized in two steps. For this purpose, castor oil was reacted with maleic anhydride at 70° ...

In this study, poly (e-caprolactone) (PCL) and fish sarcoplasmic protein (FSP) (Mw < 200 kDa) composite nanofibers were fabricated by electrospinning technique. Solution properties such as density, viscosity, conductivity ...

Biphasic bioceramic nanopowders of hydroxyapatite (HA) and ß-tricalcium phosphate (TCP) were prepared from shells of the sea snail Cerithium vulgatum (Bruguière, 1792) using a novel chemical method. Calcination of the ...
