Sulfonated polymer metal nanocomposite membranes with bacterial disinfection activity in water
(2018-05)
This study describes the synthesis and characterization of sulfonated poly(styreneisobutylene-
styrene) (SIBS) polymer nanocomposite membranes, which show antibacterial
properties useful for the inactivation of Enterococci ...
Screening soil metagenomic libraries searching for degrading enzymes useful for the production of biofuels and value added chemicals
(2012)
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. ...
Ferrohydrodynamics studies through Brownian dynamics simulations of spherical nanoparticle suspensions
(2012)
In this contribution, Brownian dynamics simulations of spherical, thermally blocked, magnetic nanoparticles under applied shear and magnetic fields were studied. Equilibrium and dynamical properties as well as rheological ...
Biotransformation of coffee pulp using filamentous fungi
(2012)
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. ...
Synthesis and characterization of magnetic nanoparticles for use as sensors
(2009-06)
A comprehensive study of physical and magnetic properties of cobalt substituted ferrite and magnetite nanoparticles synthesized by thermal-decomposition was carried out. Initially, a systematic study of the effect of ...
Probing nanoscale viscosity in polymer melts using magnetic nanoparticles.
(2012)
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 ...
Solubilities of anti-cancer and anti-AIDS drugs in supercritical carbon dioxide
(2003)
Solubility data for pharmacological drugs in supercritical fluids (SCFs) is of great
importance, because there is an environmental and cost effective need for alternative
specialty separation methods.
This research was ...
Examination of the effect of PEG-Rich matrices in Multi Drug Resistance-Associated Protein (MRP) and Multi Drug Resistance (MDR) substrates transport utilizing the CaCo-2 Cell Model
(2008)
Multidrug resistance (MDR) is responsible for the low absorption of a very wide range of drugs and has been recognized as one of the major hurdles in drug absorption. Crosslinked poly(ethylene glycol) based morphologies ...
Separational purification of nitrate from inedible biomass leachate by electrodialysis: fouling effect
(2004)
The removal of nitrate and potassium from wheat leachate solution was studied
using an electrolytic cell in batch recirculation mode for use in advance life
support systems (ALSS). The ALSS or CELSS (Controlled Ecological ...
Effects of environmental parameters on the chemical signature of landmines
(2005)
The presence of buried landmines is an environmental problem in many parts of the
world; strategies to detect and remove landmines are being developed; one of these
strategies is the developing of chemical based sensors. ...
