Nanoencapsulated phase change materials (NePCMs) are promising thermal energy storage (TES) and heat transfer that show great potential in battery management systems (BTMSs). In this work, nanocapsules with a paraffin core silica shell were prepared using an optimized sol-gel method. The samples characterized by different methods regarding chemical composition, properties, etc. Then, the used a...

Selective recognition of saccharides by artificial receptors in water is a challenging goal due to their strong hydrophilicities and complex molecular structures with subtle regio- and stereochemical differences. We report the selective and efficient encapsulation of d-sucrose within a coordination-driven molecular capsule from natural saccharide mixtures in water (~100% selectivity, >85% yield...

The main objective of the present study was to evaluate the reduction in halofantrine (Hf) toxicity, an antimalarial drug frequently associated with QT interval prolongation in electrocardiogram, by its entrapment in poly-epsilon-caprolactone nanocapsules (NC). The acute lethal dose (LD(100)) of Hf.HCl experimentally observed was 200 mg/kg whereas the calculated LD(50) was 154 mg/kg. In contras...

Nanoparticle (NP) transport is increasingly relevant to subsurface engineering applications such as aquifer characterization and enhanced oil recovery. An efficient field-scale simulation framework critical for predicting NP performance designing applications. In this work, the first time, a streamline-based model presented simulate in systems with heterogeneous permeability. It considers serie...
