A CO2 laser produces infrared photons that are largely absorbed by the skin and cause morphological alterations. Twenty-four (Wistar) rats weighing 290-380 g and ranging in age from 8 months to a year were chosen at random and divided into sixteen rats for histological examination and eight rats for tensile testing to determine the extent of injury caused by photothermal damage induced by multiple doses of a CO2 laser. Anesthesia was achieved with intramuscular doses of 10 mg/kg ketamine and 60 mg/kg Xylazine. Two equal 0.5 cm surgical incisions of rat dorsal skin were performed on the left and right sides. One was utilized as a control while the other was subjected to a 10600 nm CO2 laser at various power levels (12.5, 14.1, 15.6, and 17.2) W/cm2. According to the histological analysis, the non-irradiated skin appeared to be flawless, and normal skin layers were observed. The amount of radiation in the irradiated skin samples was closely related to tissue damage. Higher dosages of irradiation resulted in the most severe cellular mutilation. Tissue injury manifested as epidermal obliteration, coagulation, homogeneous hyalinization, and hair loss. The effects of CO2 laser interaction with the skin were explored in-depth in this study. Exposure to the CO2 laser resulted in severe burns and coagulation.
The{Poly4-Nicotinamido-4-Oxo-2-Butenoic Acid's}, which serves as an anti-corrosion layer, was produced by electropolymerized the {4-Nicotinamido-4-Oxo-2-Butenoic Acid's} monomer onto 316-grade steel material. The produced polymer's structure and characteristics were evaluated using SEM, cyclic voltammetry, and other techniques. The corrosion resistance of stainless steel, both uncoated and coated in a corrosive medium of 0.2M HCl solution was examined using an electrochemical polarisation technique at temperatures ranging from (293-323) K. Nanomaterials such as nano zinc oxide and graphene were introduced to monomer solutions at various concentrations to increase the corrosion resistance of stainless-steel surfaces. According to the findings, adding nano components to a polymeric coating increased its protective effectiveness. Thermodynamic and kinetic activation properties were also investigated. The percentage of protection efficiencies and polarisation resistance values of the covering polymer decreased as the temperature rose. As the temperature climbed, the corrosion current density increased, although the corrosion potential decreased. In SEM and AFM experiments, the development of a protective coating on the surface of 316-grade stainless steel was demonstrated to protect it.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
