CONSTRUCTION OF 3D AEROGELS CONSISTING OF CELLULOSE AND BNNSS BRIDGED BY AGNPS FOR ENHANCING THERMAL AND TRIBOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF POLYURETHANE COMPOSITES

Construction of 3D aerogels consisting of cellulose and BNNSs bridged by AgNPs for enhancing thermal and tribological properties of polyurethane composites

Waterborne polyurethane (WPU) is attracting widespread attention in the friction field, but pure WPU cannot meet the wear resistance requirements due to poor thermal and self-lubricating properties.Herein, a novel cellulose/BNNSs-AgNPs aerogel (CBAg) composed of zero-dimensional silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), one-dimensional cellulose and two-dimens

The effectiveness of peer health coaching in improving glycemic control among low-income patients with diabetes: protocol for a randomized controlled trial

Abstract Background Although self-management support improves diabetes outcomes, it is not consistently provided in Compression Garments - Stockings and Socks health care settings strained for time and resources.One proposed solution to personnel and funding shortages is to utilize peer coaches, patients trained to provide diabetes education and su

Ultrasensitive detection of lipoarabinomannan with plasmonic grating biosensors in clinical samples of HIV negative patients with tuberculosis.

BACKGROUND:Timely diagnosis of tuberculosis disease is critical for positive patient outcomes, yet potentially millions go undiagnosed or unreported each year.Sputum is widely used as the testing input, but limited by its complexity, heterogeneity, and sourcing problems.Finding methods to interrogate noninvasive, non-sputum clinical specimens is in
