Our new paper on antimicrobial material was published in the Materials journal and is entitled Novel Durable Antimicrobial Ceramic with Embedded Copper Sub-Microparticles for a Steady-State Release of Copper Ions. Using pottery clay, porous ceramic stones were molded and then … Read More »Coating Zinc with PLLA
Zinc (Zn) has recently been introduced as a promising new metal candidate for biodegradable vascular stent applications with a favorable degradation rate and biocompatibility. Corrosion resistant metal stents are often coated with drug-eluting polymer layers to inhibit harmful biological responses. … Read More »Rough Particle - Bubble Interactions
A new paper entitled A Simplified Analysis of the Effect of Nano-asperities on Particle-Bubble Interactions has been published in the Physicochemical Problems of Mineral Processing journal. This paper was invited by the editors and will be included in a special … Read More » |
Bioabsorbable Stents We search for new biodegradable alloys that could revolutionize cardiovascular stent industry. |
 |
Antibacterial Materials We invented new inexpensive antibacterial material and explore its potential applications in water filtration, food packaging, and many others. |
 |
RHX Ceramic Dating We study the rates of rehydration and rehydroxylation processes for fired clay-based ceramics as a tool for dating ceramic archeological artifacts. |
 |
Smart Surfaces We architecture nanostructures, nanotubes, and molecular layers to control wetting or other properties of surfaces. |
 |
Mineral and Materials Processing We have a long tradition of development and testing physical separation technologies for selective recovery of minerals from ores, plastics from waste, and cellulose fibers from wastepaper. |
