Polymer additives fulfill several functions, both in processing the material and in improving the properties of the product, and can act, for example, as antioxidants, light stabilizers, antistatic agents, flame retarda...

The retention, release, and detection of metallic complexes in polymeric hydrogels are of interest in drug delivery, analytical chemistry, and water remediation. The electrochemistry of the redox complexes inside the hyd...

Abstract Understanding and controlling the marine degradation of biodegradable polymers is crucial for sustainable materials engineering and pollution prevention. However, a unified interpretive method that links multisc...

Abstract This study investigates the compressive behavior and analytical modeling of natural and rubberized concretes confined with cost-effective glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) jackets. Forty-two cylindrical spec...

Paracetamol (PAR) is a common antipyretic and analgesic extensively used to treat cold and flu symptoms. It has been proven to be effective in headaches and relieving fever and pain. It is usually found as an over-the-co...

Innovative technical solutions to realize optical biosensors with improved performance are continuously proposed. Progress in material fabrication enables developing novel substrates with enhanced optical responses. At t...

This work synthesized a thermoplastic polymer with varying densities along one direction using additive manufacturing technology to study the dynamic and static characteristics of functionally graded viscoelastic materia...

Abstract Microplastics (MPs) have emerged as pervasive contaminants in surface and ground water systems worldwide, making it an increasing threat to ecosystem integrity and human health. Despite a rapid increase in resea...

Abstract Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) helps to reduce Nitrogen Oxide (NO) emissions from diesel engines using catalytic materials made of thermally stable non-precious metals. A dual support SCR catalyst using iro...

The critical behavior of adsorbed monomers that reversibly polymerize into linear chains with restricted orientations relative to the substrate has been studied. In the model considered here, which is known as self-assem...

ObjectiveTo investigate a botulism outbreak caused by consumption of homemade pickled eggs in Weihai City， Shandong Province， and to provide reference for future prevention and control measures.MethodsA population-ba...

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an important cofactor in the mitochondrial respiratory chain and a potent endogenous antioxidant. CoQ10 deficiency is currently associated with numerous diseases like mitochondrial and neurodegene...

Abstract Precise control of electrical properties in conductive micro-structures is essential for the performance and reliability of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS). However, the nature of anisotropic physical va...

Analytical solutions based on the pseudo-steady state approximation (PSSA) were derived for the case of controlled dispersed-drug release from erodible and non-erodible planar matrices, through a membrane, and taking int...

ABSTRACT Tetracycline (TC) is a commonly prescribed broad‐spectrum antibiotic, and its widespread use together with its persistence in biological matrices, particularly urine, has raised serious concerns related to cli...

Abstract In this study, microplastics (MPs) source, movement and final disposition in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and its ultimate release into natural water bodies are investigated. It seeks to exploit this to d...
