Abstract: Ion track-etched membranes are porous systems obtained by etching of the latent ion tracks using a suitable etchant solution. In this work, control of the pores’ spatial profiles and dimensions in PET polymers was achieved by varying etching temperature and etching time. [..] Read more

Abstract: Quantitative STEM imaging together with Monte Carlo simulations of electron scattering in solids can bring interesting results about properties of many thin samples. It is possible to determine thickness of a sample, to calculate mass of particles and measure mass per length/area. [..] Read more

Abstract: Currently, it is well known that metallothioneins (MTs) play substantial role in many pathophysiological processes, including carcinogenesis and they can serve as diagnostic biomarkers. In order to increase the applicability of MT in diagnostics, an easy-to-use and rapid detection method is required. [..] Read more

Abstract: Nowadays nanofibers become an integral part of any field of science. One of the most popular methods for producing nanofibers is electrospinning. [..] Read more

Abstract: In recent years, the application of various additions (hydrides, oxides, intermetallic compounds, etc.) to powder mixtures for manufacturing Nd-Fe-B magnets shows promise as the method that allows one to increase the hysteretic characteristics of the magnets at the expense of realized grain-boundary diffusion and grain-boundary structuring processes. The hysteretic characteristics of sintered Nd-Fe-B magnets are highly sensitive to their microstructure and composition of phases. [..] Read more

Abstract: The aim of this study was to propose a system that increases the reliability of the supply chain using a rail mode of transport. Such system will reduce delays in a supply chain where a train is use as a mean of transport. [..] Read more

Abstract: Dynamic tensile testing of structural materials is becoming more and more important due to the need to obtain relevant data for components design mostly with the use of FEM in many industries such as automotive and power industries. The difference of the material behaviour under dynamic loading and quasi-static loading is that the dynamic strength or yield stress usually increases as the strain-rate increases. [..] Read more

Abstract: In the course of the work, a resource-saving version of the work of all basic elements was developed. The developed technological scheme will allow wastewater to be treated to modern maximum permissible concentrations (MPC) standards due to the highly efficient removal of heavy and non-ferrous metals and organic impurities, which can significantly reduce the cost of water supply to the enterprise..

Abstract: The main purpose of this study is to develop an algorithm for determining the friction coefficient value using actual technological parameters of the hot rolling mill. The presented algorithm is based on Ekelund formula where the friction coefficient is expressed in terms of the roll bite contact geometry, which can be calculated using technological parameters such as forward slip, metal thickness and roll diameter.

Abstract: Flexible electronics are nowadays manufactured on substrates made particularly of plastics and paper. In demand for better optical and chemical properties, glass is also used in its ultra-thin flexible form (UTFG). [..] Read more

Abstract: Nanotechnology is a scientific field for the characterization, production, and application of nanoscale particles of 1-100 nm size. Due to their large surface area and small size, nanoparticles have different properties compared to bulk materials such as mechanical, electrical, magnetic, and chemical properties. [..] Read more

Abstract: Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine are ever-growing multidisciplinary fields. Along with the development of tissue carriers, methods for testing the biocompatibility of these materials are also being developed. [..] Read more

Abstract: In this paper, the research of steel flow characteristics using three different shapes of impact pads in a 6-strands tundish is presented.The key purpose of the research presented in this paper was to improve flow characteristics and steel temperature distribution across the whole tundish inner space with the aim of preventing erosion of the refractory lining in the upper section of the inflow area. Simulations were realized for various types and shapes of impact pads. [..] Read more

Abstract: In the search for a suitable and biocompatible material with high photothermal efficacy for hyperthermic application in nanomedicine, gold (Au) nanocolloid solutions with a surface plasmon resonance located in the near-infrared spectral region were prepared using a one-step environmentally friendly phytosynthetic process. The room-temperature process involves a liquid extract of Mentha × piperita leaves and Au(III) aqueous solutions, and no additional reagents or surfactants are required. [..] Read more
