Biomaterials like calcium phosphates are used as bioactive coatings because they increase the osteointegration of the prosthesis surfaces. Micro-arc oxidation (MAO) generates TiO2 and amorphous and crystalline calcium phosphates coatings. Crystallization thermal treatment diminishes the percentage of amorphous phases in the coating. In this study it was evaluated by Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy, MAO calcium phosphate coatings formed on Ti6Al4V ELI. It was found that crystallization thermal treatment between 400 and 800°C increases the crystallinity of the coating and diminishes its dissolution rate.

Swelling mica exhibits unique characteristics for purification of drinking water contaminated by heavy metals and for selective removal of Sr2+ and Ba2+ ions from nuclear waste solution. As a new approach to recycle fly ash, conversion of fly ash to swelling mica has been attempted and ion-exchange properties of fly ash-derived swelling mica (referred to hereinafter as FA-swelling mica) were

Protothecosis has been reported in humans (gastroenteritis, bursitis, etc.) and in many other animal species. Bovine mastitis represents the main form of occurrence of protothecosis in cattle. Milk as well as dairy products, when contaminated with Prototheca spp., represent a potential means of transmission of this zoonosis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the susceptibility of forty Prototheca zopfii strains isolated from milk from intramammary infections in dairy cows and also from bulk milk tanks of dairy farms, to the different ratios of temperature/time employed in the thermal treatment of milk: 72-75 degrees C/15 seconds, 72-75 degrees C/20 seconds and 62-65 degrees C/30 minutes. The samples were subjected to these different temperature/time ratios. The evaluation of the thermal susceptibility of the P. zopfii strains showed that 34 strains were resistant in at least one of the tests. The results point out the need to consider the importance of mastitis caused by Pro...

In this article are presented results from the investigations of some peculiarities in the process of soldering on small topological forms in PCBs. The investigation is dedicated to the surface mount technology and deals with lead contained and lead free solder alloy pastes. Attention is paid on the implementation of contact pads with lead free surface finish. For this purpose are used galvanic deposited coatings and different solders. The results are obtained when using temperature profiles of typical production process at regimes, recommended by the solder paste vendors. In the experiments are implemented specially developed test lay outs and samples, manufactured from PCB material. Predominantly are investigated the processes of solder wetting in atmospheric surrounding.

In order to obtain cobalt oxides nanoparticles we have used the thermal decomposition of some carboxylate type precursors. These precursors were obtained by the redox reaction between cobalt nitrate and ethylene glycol, either bulk or dispersed in silica matrix. The redox reaction takes place by heating the Co(NO3)2·6H2O-C2H6O2 solution or the Si(OC2H5)4-Co(NO3)2·6H2O-C2H6O2 gels. Thermal analysis of the Co(NO3)2·6H2O-C2H6O2 solution and Si(OC2H5)-Co(NO3)2·6H2O-C2H6O2 gels allowed us to establish the optimal value for the synthesis temperature of the carboxylate precursors. By fast heating of the solution Co(NO3)2·6H2O-C2H6O2, the redox reaction is immediately followed by the decomposition of the precursor, which represents an autocombustion process. The product of this combustion contains CoO as unique phase. We have obtained a mixture of CoO and Co3O4 by annealing the synthesized carboxylate compounds for 2 h at 400°C. With longer annealing time (6 h), we have obtained Co3O4 as unique phase. The XRD study of the crystalline phases resulted by thermal decomposition of the precursors embedded in silica matrix, showed that the formation of Co2SiO4 and Co3O4, as unique phases, depends on the thermal treatment.
