Crystal structure and phase transformations in 1D nanostructures
Metal oxide and sulfide nanostructures are a versatile family of materials with wide-ranging applications, and their development remains ongoing. In nanoscience, attention is being directed towards their synthesis and further advancement, including the creating of new complex structures and morphologies. In this regard, ion-exchange reactions have emerged as a cutting-edge …
Interactions of azole molecules with copper ions and copper surfaces covered with chemisorbed H, O, Oh or Cl
In real environments, copper and other metal surfaces are never clean. Even during active dissolution in corrosion, they are likely to be covered with adsorbed corrosion-relevant species such as O, OH, H, and Cl. To explore the impact of such species on the bonding of imidazole, used herein as an …
Speciation of ruthenium-based candidate drugs for cancer treatment and copper as a potential biomarker for cancer diagnosis in human serum
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cancer represents the second leading cause of mortality, with almost 10 million deaths in 2020. A broad spectra of cancer treatments are being developed, among them are metal-based drugs. Consistent with the available data, platinum (Pt)-based chemotherapeutics are still widely used to treat …
Synergistic action of organic inhibitors to mitigate corrosion of aluminium, copper and aluminium-copper alloy in chloride solution
The inhibitory action of organic compounds, 2-mercaptobenzimidazole (MBI), octylphosphonic acid (OPA) and their binary combinations was studied on aluminium, copper and aluminium alloy (AA) 2024 in chloride environments by ex-situ conventional electrochemical methods and surface-analytical techniques. In addition, the influence of pre-treatment of the metal surface and the choice of …
Contribution to understanding of the mechanism of amyloid fibril formation and its effects on the cell
The presence of insoluble amyloid aggregates in various human tissues correlates with the development of many human disorders (amyloidoses), including neurodegenerative diseases. Deposition of the aggregated misfolded proteins in the brain, where aggregates can be localized extracellularly or intracellularly, is the main characteristic of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's, prion diseases and …
