Effects of Functionalized Nano-TiO on the Molecular Motion in Epoxy Resin-Based Nanocomposites.

Epoxy resin-based nanocomposites have been widely researched for being potential insulating materials in high voltage power equipment. In this paper, nano-TiO particles were chosen and surface-modified by a silane coupling agent containing an epoxy group. The effect of functionalized nano-TiO doping on the physical properties of epoxy resin was studied.

Synergistic Improvement in Thermal Conductivity of Polyimide Nanocomposite Films Using Boron Nitride Coated Copper Nanoparticles and Nanowires.

Electronic devices are increasingly dense, underscoring the need for effective thermal management. A polyimide (PI) matrix nanocomposite film combining boron nitride (BN)-coated copper nanoparticles (CuNPs@BN) and nanowires (CuNWs@BN) was fabricated by a flexible and fast technique for enhanced thermal conductivity and the dielectric properties of nanocomposite films. The thermal conductivity of (CuNPs-CuNWs)@BN/PI composite comprising 10 wt % filler loading rose to 4.

Effect of RSK4 on biological characteristics of colorectal cancer.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the expression of P90 Ribosomal Protein S6 kinase 4 (RSK4) in colorectal cancer cells and its biological function.

Methods: We selected early SW480 and HCT116 colorectal cancer cell lines, using Lipofectamine™ 2000 transfection reagent carrying RSK4 gene transfected into cells to establish the colorectal cancer cell lines with high expression of RSK4. RT-PCR and western blot (WB) analysis confirmed RSK4 expression in SW480 and HCT116 cancer cell lines.
