The increasing amount of plastic debris in the environment and its disintegration into submicrometric particles are cause for concern. Due to the colloidal nature of nanoplastics, their environmental fate should be investigated separately from that of microplastics. Abiotic factors greatly…
In this study, the interactions of wheat starch (WS) (5%, w/w) with sage seed gum (SSG) (0–0.50%, w/w) were explored by steady and dynamic rheological tests and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy measurements as well. Higher levels of SSG incorporation…
Solid-state, wet-chemical and sonochemical routes of synthesis were assayed to obtain Bi2O3 particles. X-Ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) were applied to characterize the obtained particles. Then, they were evaluated as electrode materials…
The abundant literature involving asphaltene often contrasts dynamic measurements of asphaltene solutions, highlighting the presence of small particle sizes between 1 and 3 nm, with static scattering measurements, revealing larger aggregates with a radius of gyration around 7 nm. (242)
A new hybrid compound was synthesized via the covalent grafting of vanadium-substituted Wells-Dawson type polyoxometalate (Bu4N)5H4[P2W15V3O62] to folic acid. The cytotoxic effect of the resulted bioactive hybrid compound was investigated on cervical (HeLa) and human breast (MCF-7) cancer cells. (258…
