Impedance spectroscopy characterization of neutron irradiated thermoelectric modules for space nuclear power
(AIP Publishing, 2019)
The European Space Agency is currently supporting the research and development of advanced radioisotope power systems utilising thermoelectric modules. The performance of thermoelectric modules following exposure to neutron ...
Reactive Melt Mixing of Poly(3-Hydroxybutyrate)/Rice Husk Flour Composites with Purified Biosustainably Produced Poly(3-Hydroxybutyrate-co-3-Hydroxyvalerate)
(MDPI, 2019)
Novel green composites based on commercial poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) filled with
10 wt % rice husk flour (RHF) were melt-compounded in a mini-mixer unit using triglycidyl
isocyanurate (TGIC) as compatibilizer and ...
Silica-gelatin hybrid sol-gel coatings: A proteomic study with biocompatibility implications
(Wiley, 2018-05)
Osseointegration, including the foreign body reaction to biomaterials, is an immune‐modulated, multifactorial, and complex healing process in which various cells and mediators are involved. The buildup of the osseointegration ...
Towards a comprehensive model for characterising and assessing thermoelectric modules by impedance spectroscopy
(Elsevier, 2018-09-15)
Thermoelectric devices have potential energy conversion applications ranging from space exploration through to mass-market products. Standardised, accurate and repeatable high-throughput measurement of their properties is ...
Proteomic analysis of silica hybrid sol-gel coatings: a potential tool for predicting the biocompatibility of implants in vivo
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)
The interactions of implanted biomaterials with the host organism determine the success or failure of an implantation. Normally, their biocompatibility is assessed using in vitro tests. Unfortunately, in vitro and in vivo ...
Bioactive potential of silica coatings and its effect on the adhesion of proteins to titanium implants
(Elsevier, 2018-02-01)
There is an ever-increasing need to develop dental implants with ideal characteristics to achieve specific and desired biological response in the scope of improve the healing process post-implantation. Following that ...
Influence of convection at outer ceramic surfaces on the characterization of thermoelectric modules by impedance spectroscopy
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2018-02)
Impedance spectroscopy is a useful method for the characterization of thermoelectric (TE) modules. It can determine with high accuracy the module's dimensionless figure of merit (zT) as well as the average TE properties ...
Bricked vaults of the 18th century Valencian hall churches: graphical representation, constructive and pathological analysis
(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2018)
The efficient recovery of historic buildings is only possible through a deep knowledge of traditional construction
