Flexible and multifunctional P(VDF-TrFE)/BT-BMT polymer composite films: Realiz...
Coondoo, Indrani; Isfahani, Vahideh B.; Amorín, Harvey; Bdikin, Igor; Carvalho, João; Pascual-González, Cristina; Silva, Bruna M.; Oliveira, JoãoIn the era of unprecedented advancement of portable electronics, the utilization of multifunctional materials that enable integration of functionalities, hold great promise since they not only reduce size and weight but also curtail energy consumption of the system. In this regard, this study focused on the development of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)-based polymer composites and achieved excellent piezoelectr...

Local piezoelectric properties of Di-Leucine dipeptides nanotubes
Bdikin, IgorDi-Leucine (LL) peptide nanotubes (PNTs) were grown. The local piezoelectric properties of LL PNTs were measured using atomic force microscopy. Using piezoresponse force microscopy the strong piezoelectric properties with d15 ~ 3.2 pm/V was found. The magnitude and distribution of the piezo response signal were analysed depending on the orientation of the tubes. Features of the charge distribution depending on ...
Decellularized extracellular matrix-based 3D nanofibrous scaffolds functionaliz...
Silva, Daniela M. da; Barroca, Nathalie; Pinto, Susana C.; Semitela, Ângela; de Sousa, Bárbara M.; Martins, Patrícia A. D.One of the exciting prospects of using decellularized extracellular matrices (ECM) lies in their biochemical profile of preserved components, many of which are regeneration-permissive. Herein, a decellularized ECM from adipose tissue (adECM) was explored to design a scaffolding strategy for the challenging repair of the neural tissue. Targeting the recreation of the nano-scaled architecture of native ECM, adECM...

Interaction of zirconia with magnesium hydride and its influence on the hydroge...
Dharmakkon, Pukazh Selvan; Reis Silva, David Alexandre; Sandhya, K.S.; Fateixa, Sara; Shaula, Aliaksandr; Nogueira, Helena; Bdikin, IgorThis study demonstrates how zirconia additive transforms to zirconium hydride and substantially lowers the dehydrogenation temperature of magnesium hydride. We pre- pared MgH2þxZrO2 (x 1⁄4 0.125 and 0.5) powder samples reacted for 15 min, 1 h, 5 h, 10 h, 15 h, 20 h and 25 h, and monitored the phase changes at each stage of the reaction. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) study provides the first crucial ev...
