Radical polymerization of styrene in aqueous emulsions pressurized by CO2 has been investigated with a view to development of low energy miniemulsion polymerization. The general requirement of high energy mixing to generate miniemulsions comprising sub-micrometer-size monomer droplets has long been…
Scope The study aims to assess the role of factors assumed to be involved in the transfer of carotenoids from plant matrices to dietary emulsions in the upper digestive tract. Methods and Results Transfer is first measured as a function…
In this work, we present for the first time undeniable evidence of nano-plastic occurrence due to solar light degradation of marine micro-plastics under controlled and environmentally representative conditions. As observed during our recent expedition (Expedition 7th Continent), plastic pollution will…
In this study, activated carbon was prepared from pine cones and then was modified using Fe3 O4 nanoparticles. Afterwards, the characterization of the nano-adsorbent surface was completely investigated using different analyses such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction, dynamic…
Rapid development of nanotechnology in recent years has raised concerns about nanoparticle (NPs) release into the environment and its adverse effects on living organisms. The present study is the first comprehensive report on the anatomical and ultrastructural changes of a…
