The aim of this work is to evaluate the influence of a spatial salinity gradient, as encountered in estuaries when fresh water meets salt water, on the aggregation features of fullerene nanoparticle aggregates (nC60). To model these environmental conditions, we…
The aim of this study is to demonstrate how the flow and diffusion of nanoplastics through a salinity gradient (SG), as observed in mangrove swamps (MSPs), influence their aggregation pathways. These two parameters have never yet been used to evaluate…
Tetragonal zircon-type codoped Yb, Ln–GdVO4 (Ln=Tm, Ho, Er) upconverting nanocrystals with square and rectangular sections were prepared through an efficient low-temperature hydrothermal synthesis. Further processing that combined annealing at 600 °C followed by coating of the surface with a uniform…
Ester-silica nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared using a facile two-surfactant synthesis route in neutral medium involving silica (tetraethyl orthosilicate, TEOS) and organosilica (3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl 5-(trimethoxysilyl)pentanoate, PMe) precursors. The ester hydrolysis generates carboxylic acid groups, which confer a strongly negative zeta potential to…
Among biocontrol fungi, Trichoderma species produce a wide range of bioactive compounds with antifungal activities. In this study, Di-(2-Ethylhexyl) Phthalate (DEHP) is identified via gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) device in Trichoderma atroviridae (1-3) secondary metabolites and its antifungal effectiveness is…
