Two types of TiO2 powders with water - to - titanium tetraisopropoxide (TPT) ratios of 1 (Powder 1) and 2 (Powder 2) were synthesized via sol-gel method. Both powders were characterized physicochemically before immobilized with white plaster cement for photodegradation of phenol in liquid phase. Aqueous phenol solution containing cement-bonded of T

Recently, development of porous calcium phosphates ceramics have raised considerable interest. A porous structure promotes cell attachment, proliferation and provides pathways for biofluids. Therefore, a high porosity with interconnected pore structure generally favors tissue regeneration. In this work, replication of 0, 2, 5, 10 and 15% SrHA (stro

Dense manganese-doped biphasic calcium phosphate (Mn-BCP) ceramics were fabricated via uniaxial pressing using the sol-gel derived powders. The compacted discs were sintered in ambient atmosphere with temperatures ranging from 800�C to 1400�C. Manganese (Mn) level was varied in the range of 0.6, 1.9, 4.3, and 11.9mol%, and its effect on physica

This paper aims to discuss the notion of beauty from a perspective of the Islamic worldview. The paper shows that beauty in Islam and the utter formation of Islamic aesthetics - just like any other segment of Islamic culture and civilization - cannot be disengaged from the body of Islamic teachings and values and be treated in isolation. From conce
