Prediction of thermal conductivity of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) electrospun nanocomposite fibers using artificial neural network and prey-predator algorithm.

PloS one
In this study, multilayer perception neural network (MLPNN) was employed to predict thermal conductivity of PVP electrospun nanocomposite fibers with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and Nickel Zinc ferrites [(Ni0.6Zn0.4) Fe2O4]. This is the sec...

Modeling and Optimization of NLDH/PVDF Ultrafiltration Nanocomposite Membrane Using Artificial Neural Network-Genetic Algorithm Hybrid.

ACS combinatorial science
In this research, MgAl-CO nanolayered double hydroxide (NLDH) was synthesized through a facile coprecipitation method, followed by a hydrothermal treatment. The prepared NLDHs were used as a hydrophilic nanofiller for improving the performance of the...

Graphene oxide as a nanocarrier for controlled release and targeted delivery of an anticancer active agent, chlorogenic acid.

Materials science & engineering. C, Materials for biological applications
We have synthesized graphene oxide using improved Hummer's method in order to explore the potential use of the resulting graphene oxide as a nanocarrier for an active anticancer agent, chlorogenic acid (CA). The synthesized graphene oxide and chlorog...

Nanocomposites of gold nanoparticles and graphene oxide towards an stable label-free electrochemical immunosensor for detection of cardiac marker troponin-I.

Analytica chimica acta
A stable label-free amperometric immunosensor is presented based on gold nanoparticles and graphene oxide nanocomposites for detection of cardiac troponin-I in the early diagnosis of myocardial infarction. For designing of the sensing platform, first...

Cytotoxicity of chitosan/streptokinase nanoparticles as a function of size: An artificial neural networks study.

Nanomedicine : nanotechnology, biology, and medicine
Predicting the size and toxicity of chitosan/streptokinase nanoparticles at various values of processing parameters was the aim of this study. For the first time, a comprehensive model could be developed to determine the cytotoxicity of the nanoparti...

Magnetic nanoparticles and nanocomposites for remote controlled therapies.

Journal of controlled release : official journal of the Controlled Release Society
This review highlights the state-of-the-art in the application of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) and their composites for remote controlled therapies. Novel macro- to nano-scale systems that utilize remote controlled drug release due to actuation of M...

Corrugated paraffin nanocomposite films as large stroke thermal actuators and self-activating thermal interfaces.

ACS applied materials & interfaces
High performance active materials are of rapidly growing interest for applications including soft robotics, microfluidic systems, and morphing composites. In particular, paraffin wax has been used to actuate miniature pumps, solenoid valves, and comp...

Porous-Structure Flexible Muscle Sensor for Monitoring Muscle Function and Mass.

ACS sensors
Muscle function and composition are important indicators of age-related health. However, current assessment methods are often complex and expensive, making the early detection of related problems difficult. Therefore, developing a cost-effective and ...

SERS based determination of ceftriaxone, ampicillin, and vancomycin in serum using WS/Au@Ag nanocomposites and a 2D-CNN regression model.

Spectrochimica acta. Part A, Molecular and biomolecular spectroscopy
Accurate therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of antibiotics including ceftriaxone, ampicillin, and vancomycin plays an important role in the treatment of neonatal sepsis, a common and life-threatening disease in neonates. A highly sensitive surface-enh...
