Ferrofluid flow under the influence of rotating magnetic fields
(2012-05)
This work was centered in the understanding both the phenomenological experimental behavior and theoretical description of the flow of a ferrofluid under a rotating magnetic field. The ferrofluid flow under a uniform ...
Development of optimal iron oxide nanoparticles with increased heating capabilities for application in magnetic fluid hyperthermia
(2013)
Hipertermia de fluido magnético (MFH) a mostrado ser un método efectivo para la erradicación de células cancerosas. Esta técnica se basa en la absorción de nanopartículas magnéticas por parte de la célula seguido por la ...
Flexible titanium silicate porous materials for selective carbon dioxide adsorption
(2013)
Flexible titanium silicates are Zorite-like synthetic materials in which their framework atoms’ configuration exhibits mixed oxides containing tetrahedrally coordinated silicon and squaredpyramidal/octahedral titanium ...
Processing and characterization of nematic co-polymer Phba/Pet nanocomposite films via hot-melt extrusion
(2011)
In this research work, the effect of particle shape (i.e. rod-like, spherical and platellet) and concentration on the liquid crystalline structure of poly (4-benzoic acidco-ethylene terephthalate) (PHBA/PET) was evaluated ...
Rheology and gelation of physical polymer gels
(2011)
The discovery of new potent and water-insoluble drugs has emphasized the need for novel drug-delivery systems and personalized dosification. Biopolymers solutions are an alternative over conventional methods since they can ...
Molecular simulation studies for the templated synthesis of ultrathin metal nanowires in zeolites
(2012)
In the present work geometric optimizations, Metropolis Monte Carlo, and molecular dynamics simulations were done to study the feasibility of synthesizing Ni and Pt nanowires inside the pores of one dimensional zeolite ...
Atomic pair distribution study of the growth of Pt nanoparticles in zeolites
(2016)
The Pair Distribution Function (PDF) is a total scattering method used to study the local structure of a material and yields a function in real space with peaks that represent the interatomic distances. In this work, we ...
Magnetically and thermally responsive nanoparticles for biomedical applications.
(2013)
The synthesis of magnetic nanoparticles which respond to alternating magnetic fields by Brownian and Neel relaxation mechanisms are of great interest in determining mechanical properties of complex fluids in the size scale ...
Electrical characterization of sulfonated poly(styrene-isobutylene-styrene) triblock copolymer thin films
(2015-05)
Polymers are a fundamental part of electronic systems and are widely used due to their low cost, ease of processing, and their wide range of mechanical and electrical properties. They have traditionally been used as passive ...
Characterization of solid dispersions of hydroxypropyl cellulose films with griseofulvin via hot-melt extrusion
(2012)
Hot-melt extrusion has gained significance in the pharmaceutical industry to formulate solid dispersions. In a solid dispersion, poorly-water soluble drugs can be dispersed in an inert hydrophilic polymer matrix, improving ...
