The solvent variation effect on the self-assembly phenomenon is discussed in this article. Two different biodegradable backbones of same community (polycaprolactone and polylactide) were selected to visualize morphological changes upon treatment solvents/cosolvents. curiosity was observe if change occurred only with solvents or it assisted also. Tetrahydrofuran, acetonitrile 1,4 dioxane used as...

Parabens are substances used in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Recent studies have indicated that these toxic potential, cause endocrine disruption can easily bioaccumulate; therefore, their physicochemical properties of industrial, biological environmental interest. Due to potential use development more efficient cleaner processes, design recovery strategies reasonable desig...

Solubility measurements in pure and modified water serve as a basis for optimizing the subcritical water extraction of target analytes such as food contaminants. The solvent strength of the water is affected by both the system's temperature and the amount and type of cosolvent modifier that is added to the water, which causes a reduction in the dielectric constant of water. In the present work,...

The combination of reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) and emulsion polymerization has recently attracted much attention as a synthetic tool for high-molecular-weight block copolymers and their micellar nano-objects. Up to recently, though, the use of thermoresponsive polymers as both macroRAFT agents and latex stabilizers was impossible in aqueous media due to their hydroph...
