Hot-melt extrusion has gained significance in the pharmaceutical industry to formulate solid dispersions. In a solid dispersion, poorly-water soluble drugs can be dispersed in an inert hydrophilic polymer matrix, improving ...

Crosslinked hydrogels in protein crystallization is an area of continuous growth. The counterdiffusion technique is a novel method for the crystallization of proteins, which entails the minimization of convection effects, ...

In the last decade nanowires (NWs) have become the focus of intensive research in the areas of catalysis, sensors, gas storage, among others. These ordered high surface area materials display high chemical reactivity because ...

Value-added chemicals and fuels produced via the biotransformation of lignocellulosic biomass resources like crop biomass waste are necessary to reduce our dependence on the non-renewable conversion of raw materials. ...

Efforts devoted to the efficient use of agro-industrial residues have increased, especially if the use contributes to solve pollution problems. Coffee pulp/husk is the main byproduct generated during coffee wet processing. ...

Oleic acid coated cobalt ferrite nanoparticles (CoFe2O4-OA), which relax through the Brownian mechanism, were dispersed in Polystyrene (PS) and Polybutadiene (PBD) of various molecular weights (MW). These suspensions were ...

Centrifugal Filter Devices (CFD) has been tested for the quantification of protein adsorption onto the surface of magnetic nanoparticles coated with biocompatible polymers. Using a phosphate buffered saline wash protocol, ...
