The physico-mechanical properties of fructan fractions in different agave species without Tequila Denomination Origin (DOT) need to be studied identify and expand industrial applications. rheological physicochemical characterization three Agave tequilana cv. cenizo fructans DOT, with degree polymerization (DP) was carried out propose their use as an additive the food industry. Fractions were ob...

Dewatering or drying of diluted cellulose nanofibril suspensions is an effective way for reducing the costs transportation and storage. In this study, poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) was introduced into a redispersing system concentrated CNFs, obtained redispersed CNFs were used fabricating CNF/PANI (polyaniline) nanomaterials by in situ polymerization method. The results showed that mechanical gr...

Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) was synthesized from melamine and exfoliated by thermal treatment. Exfoliated g-C3N4 particles were immobilized electrophoretic deposition an ultrasonically treated ethanolic suspension aged up to 12 weeks. During the aging of suspension, separation bigger than 10 ?m observed. The separated stable part contained with a relatively uniform size distribution, enab...

Large-scale quantum computation is likely to require massive quantum error correction (QEC). QEC codes and circuits are described via the stabilizer formalism, which represents stabilizer states by keeping track of the operators that preserve them. Such states are obtained by stabilizer circuits (consisting of CNOT, Hadamard and Phase gates) and can be represented compactly on conventional comp...

N-sodium acrylate-O-carboxymethyl chitosan [CMCH-g-PAA(Na)] bound Fe3O4 nanoparticles were developed as a novel magnetic nanoparticles with an ionic structure that can be potentially used in many fields. CMCH-g-PAA (Na) was obtained by grafting of sodium polyacrylate on O-carboxymethyl chitosan, which is an amphiphilic polyelectrolyte with the biocompatibility and biodegra...

The incorporation of magnetic barium hexaferrite nanoparticles in a transparent polymer matrix of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is reported for the first time. The barium hexaferrite nanoplatelets doped with Sc(3+), i.e., BaSc0.5Fe11.5O12 (BaHF), having diameters in the range 20 to 130 nm and thicknesses of approximately 5 nm, are synthesized hydrothermally and stabilized in 1-butanol with d...

The first successfully developed molecularly imprinted polymer toward six ergot alkaloids and their respective epimers is described. A new imprinting molecule, metergoline, was used as template analogue in the production of suspension polymerized beads. These spherical particles functioned as selective sorbent in a solid-phase extraction column. The application of this column in the cleanup of ...
