This work concerned synthesis and characterization of an organic water-based coating based on poly (methyl methacrylate-co-butyl acrylate-co-acrylic acid) through seeded semi-batch emulsion polymerization. Silica nanoparticles were added in situ under controlled pH and temperature conditions at different mass concentrations, and…
The aim of this paper is to study the effect of very low dose gamma radiation exposure on the plasmonic behavior of gold nanoparticles. For this purpose, gold nanoparticles were exposed to three different dose rates of radiation, with the…
The nanoparticles influence on plants’ biological processes has not been clearly understood. Increase of nanoparticles in the environment during advent of industrial technologies can be a significant threat to ecosystems, and their interaction with plants is very important. The aim…
Doping the fuel with fuel-borne catalysts is an economical and inventive option for reducing the emissions from conventional fuel. The present investigation explores the effect of Au/CeO2 doping in diesel fuel on combustion and emission characteristics of the compression ignition…
This study assessed the effects of nanoplastics (NPs) using for the very first time microfluidic devices (chip) mimicking transition waters. Three kinds of NPs were tested: crushed NPs from polystyrene pellets (NP-PS), or from Guadeloupe beaches (NP-G); and latex PS…
