Microwave-Assisted Protocol for Green Functionalization of Thiophenes With a Pd/β-Cyclodextrin Cross-Linked Nanocatalyst

A Green Protocol for Microwave-Assisted Extraction of Volatile Oil Terpenes from Pterodon emarginatus Vogel. (Fabaceae).

Microwave-assisted extraction of volatile oils (MAE) potentially offers a more efficient and bio-sustainable method than conventional extraction by Clevenger apparatus (CE). This study aimed to optimise the MAE of the volatile oil from Pterodon emarginatus fruits and characterise the volatile compounds. A 2³ full-factorial central composite design and response surface methodology were used to e...

Microwave assisted covalent functionalization of C(60)@SWCNT peapods.

The covalent functionalization of the external wall of C(60)@SWCNT peapods, by in situ generated aryl diazonium salts, assisted by microwave irradiation is reported. Spectroscopic, thermal and microscopy characterization was performed. Electrochemistry revealed the three reversible reductions of encapsulated C(60), however, shifted towards positive potentials when compared with those of intact ...

Miniaturization of microwave-assisted carbohydrate functionalization to create oligosaccharide microarrays.

Sequential ultrasound-microwave assisted extraction as a green method to extract essential oil from Zataria multiflora

Sequential ultrasound-microwave associated extraction (SUMAE) is a combination of ultrasound waves and microwaves energies in which ultrasonic extraction is used as a pretreatment. It was performed to extract essential oil from Zataria multiflora. The extraction conditions were optimized by response surface methodology (RSM) and Central Composite Design (CCD). The antioxidant and antibacterial ...

Microwave Assisted Synthesis and Evaluation of Cross-Linked Carboxymethylated Sago Starch as Superdisintegrant

The aim of this study was to modify the sago starch and evaluate its efficacy as tablet disintegrant. Cross-linked carboxymethylated sago starch (CMSS) was synthesized using native sago starch (SS) and monochloroacetic acid (MCA) with sodium hydroxide in microwave radiation environment. FT-IR analysis of the sample confirmed the carboxymethylation by showing absorption peak at 1607.2 cm. CMSS w...
