Enhancement of fexural modulus and strength of epoxy nanocomposites with the inclusion of functionalized GNPs using Tween 80 by Wan Ab Halim, Wan Zateel Aqmaer, Junid, Ramli Junid, Sazali, Norazliane, Siregar, Januar Parlaungan, Abd Razak, Jeeferie, Fitriyana, Deni Fajar, Cionita, Tezara, Jaafar, Jamiluddin

“…Characterization of nanoparticles using SEM shows that ARGNPs indicated a softer image representing a thinner layer of graphene stacks compared to T80GNP which has a tangible solid-looking image resulting from the sedimentation during the process of fltration. Elementally, both ARGNPs and T80GNPs were found to contain carbon, oxygen, and sulfur, as indicated by the EDX spectrum, with the C/O ratio for T80GNPs being 34.7% higher than that for ARGNPs, suggesting the adsorption of Tween 80 molecules on the GNPs after functionalization. …”

Petrogenesis of Permian high-Mg diorites in the northern margin of the North China Craton: Evidence of crust–mantle interaction by Li, M, Xu, X, Palin, RM

“…The Nd-Hf isotopic compositions of the high-Mg diorites are decoupled as a consequence of interactions between subducting sediment-derived fluids and mantle peridotite. In light of the above, we propose a two-stage process for the formation of the Xinhure high-Mg diorite, comprising (1) partial melting of enriched mantle peridotite followed by (2) interaction between mantle-derived high-Mg diorite melts and continental crust-derived melts. …”

Factors affecting trans-scleral transport of poly (butadiene-b-ethylene oxide) polymersomes by Anita, Vincent

“…Periocular drug delivery presents an alternative treatment strategy for posterior segment eye disease (PSEDs) by administering drugs into the periocular space surrounding the eye orbit; the drugs then diffuse from this space across the sclera and choroid into the posterior segment of the eye, allowing for improved bioavailability and therapeutic effect. …”
