[12] tested PDMS adhesion data with a spherical glass probe in direct contact with PDMS. Shui [14] also used a typical PDMS-glass adhesion system in the study of rapidly and continuously …
Plant takes up silicon as H 4 SiO 4 primarily through root absorption. Earlier works strongly supported this mechanism, specifically in rice, following the identification of silicon transporters which facilitate the active transport of H 4 SiO 4 across cell membranes (Mitani and Ma 2005; Ma et al. 2006, 2007).The high density of transporters, Lsi1 and Lsi2, in roots of high …
The recent increase in silicosis cases in several countries casts doubt on dust control practices and their effectiveness in preventing respirable crystalline silica (RCS) exposure. Apart from silicosis, RCS may lead to other illnesses, health-related quality of life losses for workers and their families, and economic losses for companies. Thus, this systematic literature …
With the increasing demand for energy utilization [1,2,3] and the importance of thermal safety, the application range of thermal insulation materials has gradually expanded.Insulation materials with excellent performance can not only significantly reduce the heat loss in some scenes [4,5,6], but also control the temperature in certain technological …
We would like to show you a description here but the site won't allow us.
Silica (SiO 2) is a widespread compound increasingly used for a number of diverse industries: among others, glass making, foundry sand, ceramic manufacture (ware, glazes, enamels, etc) or chemical uses [1].Silica exists in three distinct polymorphs at atmospheric pressure: quartz, cristobalite and tridymite. All of them have high (β) and low (α) temperature …

PDF | On Mar 1, 2004, GD Bromiley and others published H and Fe3+ solubility in rutile and TiO2 (II): Phase assemblages during UHP metamorphism and the role of silica polymorphs in the lower ...
The hydration of Portland cements (PC) is well investigated. The clinker phases react at various rates and calcium silicate hydrates (C–S–H 1), portlandite, ettringite, AFm and hydrotalcite-like phases are formed.The blending of PC with SF and the addition of aluminium salts lead to a more complex system where the reactions of the PC, SF and the aluminium salt …
Intracellular biomineralization in microorganisms commonly happens in dedicated compartments, where the organism is able to exactly regulate the chemical composition, morphological structure and particle size of the mineral (Bazylinski and Frankel 2003; Lin et al. 2014).For this to occur, elements may enter the cell directly at the site where they will be …
This chapter discusses the preparation and properties of silica. Silica comprises a large class of products with the general formula SiO 2 or SiO 2.xH 2 O. Silica is a naturally occurring material in minerals, such as quartz and flint, and in plants, such as bamboo, rice and barley. Most of the silica used in chemical applications however, has a synthetic origin.
Chemistry of nitro groups and nitro compounds has long been intensively studied. Despite their long history, new reactions and methodologies are still being found today. This is due to the diverse reactivity of the nitro group. The importance of nitro chemistry will continue to increase in the future in terms of elaborate synthesis.
The poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) thin-film composites with a uniform dispersion of carbon nanoparticles were prepared by the solution casting technique. Spectroscopic techniques were used to evaluate the distribution of carbon in the composite film.The surface morphology studies were done using Scanning Electron Microscope. The variation in crystalline property, …
This is particularly a concern for individuals who work in industries such as mining, construction, and agriculture where silica dust is commonly present. On the other hand, silica is also known to have many benefits for the body, including promoting healthy skin, hair, and nails, as well as supporting bone health. It is often used in skincare ...
Predictive value (variable importance in projection, VIP) > 1.0, fold change > 1.5 or < 0.67, and P value < 0.05 were used as screening criteria to compare the overall differential expression of lipid molecules between the silica and control groups.
Chiral separation is of crucial importance in research and pharmaceutical application. Hitherto, separation based on high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) has drawn much attention because of its excellent separation performance, mild working conditions and operational convenience [[1], [2], [3]].
The aetiology of the disease is so inadequately understood that no useful purpose can be served in trying to assess the importance of the various factors concerned in its production_; save only to point out that there is a tendency at the present time to place so much stress on the physical aspects of the problem as to neglect the possibly more ...
Alpha quartz is found in virtually all minerals used as raw materials and represents the second most abun dant mineral species in the earth's crust after feldspar. The importance of silica …
Currently, silicon is considered as a trace element essential for life in humans, being the most abundant in the body after iron and zinc. Biological studies related to the importance of silicon in biology started in the 1970s, revealing that dietary deficiency of silicon would cause alterations in connective tissue and skeletal system [2–4].
