332 catalysts, storage devices, etc. Carbon is considered a rich family for nanoscale systems, and it exhibits extensive functionalities which depend on its structural and functional arrangements. But not all members of the carbon family have become relevant for application in modern society. The most promising research has focused on two-dimensional (2D) graphene-based systems, with an exponen...

That 2,5-dimethylbenzimidazole inhibits the multiplication of influenza A or B virus in chorioallantoic membrane cultures in vitro was reported in an earlier paper (1). The evidence obtained indicated that the compound exerted an inhibitory effect when added after the host tissue had been infected by the virus. Moreover, the inhibitory effect was reversible: after a period during which multipli...

a  new  type  of  cation-exchange  nanocomposite  membranes  was prepared  by  in-situ  formation  of  zno  nanoparticles  in  a  blend containing  sulfonated  poly  (2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene  oxide)  and sulfonated polyvinylchloride  via  a  simple  one-step  chemical method.  as-synthesized  nanocomposite  membranes were characterized  using  fourier  transform  infrared  spectroscopy, scan...

the current study presents synthesis and characterization of high impact polystyrene - tio2 nanoparticles mixed matrix membranes for separation of carbon dioxide from nitrogen. the solution-casting method was used for preparation of membranes. the nano mixed matrix membranes were characterized using scanning electron microscopy to ensure the suitable dispersion of nano particles in high impact ...

An orthogonal virus and contaminant clearance platform including anionic membrane chromatography and nanofiltration has been evaluated as a disposable antibody polishing concept. In typical case studies, additive log reduction values (LRV’s) of > 11 could be achieved for four relevant model viruses. In the membrane chromatography step, virus removal in excess of 5 LRV was found for the four mod...

Researchers are increasingly focused on the nanoscale level of organization where biological processes take place in living systems. Nanoparticles (NPs, e.g., 1-100 nm diameter) are small forms of natural or manufactured source material whose properties differ markedly from those of the respective bulk forms of the "same" material. Certain NPs have diagnostic and therapeutic uses; some NPs exhi...

When treated with formaldehyde, serum albumin is used either as2larke4rotein targeting sinusoidal liver cells known to be taken up and degraded by sinusoidal liver (3-5) or as a useful probe to elucidate the general mechanism cells via adsorptive endocytosis. The present study of endocytosis (6, 7). aimed at characterization and identification of the Nothing has been known, however, about the p...
