Using experimental data by an orthogonal design, a prediction model of the relation between conditions of preparing inorganic antibacterial agents and their antibacterial activities has been developed. This is accomplished by introducing BP artificial neural networks in the study of inorganic antibacterial agents. It provides a theoretical support for the development and research on inorganic antibacterial agents.

The optimum silane dosage was determined, and the structure and properties of the asphalt fire-retardant before and after the surface modification were characterized by infrared spectrum and thermo gravimetric analysis. The dispersion effect of asphalt flre-retardant was studied. The influence of the surface modification on the hydrophilicity and lipophilicity of the asphalt fire-retardant was analyzed. The experimental results showed that there were physical and chemical interactions between the silane coupling agent and the asphalt fire-retardant, which reduced the surface polarity of the asphalt fire retardant. The optimum silane coupling agent dosage was 0.95% of the asphalt fire retardant. The surface modification improved the thermal stability, dispersibility and lipophilicity of the asphalt fire retardant, which enhanced the compatibility between asphalt fire retardant and asphalt.展开更多

Inorganic nanoparticles(NPs), such as silica,gold and Fe x O y, featured with both satisfactory echogenic properties and structural stability have the potential to be used as a new generation of UCAs. In this review, we present the most recent progresses in the tailored construction of inorganic UCAs and their biomedical applications in the US imaging-involved fields. Firstly, the typical inorganic NPs with different structures including solid, hollow and multiple-layer forms will be comprehensively introduced in terms of their structure design,physicochemical property, US imaging mechanism and diverse applications; secondly, the recent progress in exploring the gas-generating inorganic NP system for US imaging purpose will be reviewed, and these intelligent UCAs are multifunctional for simultaneous US imaging and disease therapy; thirdly, several nanocomposite platforms newly constructed by combining inorganic UCAs with other functional components will be presented anddiscussed. These multifunctional NPs are capable of further enhancing the imaging resolution by providing more comprehensive anatomical information simultaneously.Last but not the least, the design criteria for developing promising UCAs to satisfy both clinical demands and optimized US imaging capability will be discussed and summarized in this review.展开更多
