The effects of structural integrity of graphene on the thermoelectric properties of the n-type bismuth-telluride alloy by Farah M. El-Makaty (14157090)

“…Different graphene concentrations (0.05 and 0.5 wt%) and addition times (20 hrs, 10 mins, and 1 min) were considered. The thermoelectric properties were measured, and the results showed that the milling time affects graphene structure as well as its agglomeration. …”

HBN Nanoparticle-Assisted Rapid Thermal Cycling for the Detection of Acanthamoeba by Rasheed, Abdul Khaliq

“…As low as 1 X 10¯⁴ wt % was determined as the optimum concentration of hBN nanoparticles, which increased Acanthamoeba DNA yield up to ~16%. Further, it was able to reduce PCR temperature that led to a ~2.0-fold increase in Acanthamoeba DNA yield at an improved PCR specificity at 46.2 °C low annealing temperature. hBN nanoparticles further reduced standard PCR step time by 10 min and cycles by eight; thus, enhancing Acanthamoeba detection rapidly. …”
