Metal-modified zeolites have proven to be effective catalysts for various important reactions involving the transformation of biomass-derived molecules and the conversion of greenhouse gases, such as CO2 and CH4. In this ...

The fractionation of sugarcane bagasse, plantain peel and brewer’s spent grains to glucose, xylose and lignin was studied using 0.50 and 0.05 wt% H2SO4 as catalyst in a mixture of 80:20 wt% γ-valerolactone:water. We ...

Porous coordination pillared-layer structured polymers are a particular category of 3D uniform crystal materials constituted by well-defined two-dimensional layers (specially formed by a combination of metal ion or metal ...

The combination of Brønsted acidity with metallic functionality in a mesoporous catalyst offers a potential pathway for the conversion of cellulose into sugar alcohols that may be used as a sustainable source of renewable ...

Magnetic Fluid Hyperthermia (MFH) has a great potential as an adjuvant in cancer therapy, enhancing the effects of antineoplastic agents, sensitizing resistant cancers and reducing undesired side effects. When compared ...

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is one critical component of the tissue microenvironment that regulates many cellular functions, providing biochemical and biomechanical cues for tissue development and function. Collagen is ...

The development of new technologies, active ingredients and regulatory initiatives, has increased the need for a scientific understanding of the pharmaceutical manufacturing processes. In this context, solid dosage forms ...

Porous coordination polymers (PCPs) are crystals holding pore sizes and shapes with tremendous capabilities for carbon capture based on adsorption. Coordination pillared layer networks, with copper as central node, Cu2+-CPL-n, ...

Ease of administration and handling are some of the reasons to keep solid oral dosage forms as the presentation of predilection for today’s medicines. Today, pharmaceutical companies are looking for more efficient processes ...
