The quantitative determination of trace levels of uric acid has potential applications in the medical field. In this work, a simple colorimetric estimation of uric acid based on localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) band of polyvinyl pyrrolidone-capped-silver nanoparticles (PVP-Ag-NPs) is…
Cellulose (CNF) and chitin (ChNF) nanofibers are known to form materials that are both tough and strong. In this study, we hypothesize that the inertness of networks produced from CNF and ChNF makes them ideal templates for heterogeneous reactions and…
The self-assembly of an arylazopyrazole-based photosurfactant (PS), based on cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), and its mixed micelle formation with CTAB in aqueous solution was investigated by small angle neutron and X-ray scattering (SANS/SAXS) and UV–vis absorption spectroscopy.

Targeted drug delivery systems have been developed as a promising strategy for targeted delivery of the drugs, genes, and biomolecules to the target tissue. In this study, a drug delivery system based on layered double hydroxide (LDH), as a carrier,…
In this study, we investigate the thermodynamics of lanthanide-based coordination polymer molecular alloys. We demonstrate that if lanthanide ions have many chemical similarities, the solubility of homo-lanthanide-based coordination polymers can vary significantly from one lanthanide ion to another.
