INTRODUCTION The discovery of the conductive properties of conjugated organic polymers in the late 1970s initiated intense investigations of their synthesis, chemistry and physical properties. Today, they are widely studied for various applications, e.g. optoelectronics in displays or organic solar cells. Beyond general academic curiosity towards the generation and properties of unusual nanostr...

In this research thin film heterogeneous cation exchange membrane was prepared by interfacial polymerization of polyacrylic acid-co-iron nickel oxide nanoparticle son PVC based substrate. Spectra analysis confirmed graft polymerization conclusively. The SEM images showed that polymerized layer covers the membranes by simple gel network entanglement. Results exhibited that membrane water content...

BACKGROUND The main treatments for cancers are still chemotherapy and radiotherapy for intermediate-stage cancer and terminal cancer. However, the therapeutic methods often result in a decreased neutrophilic granulocyte count and other side effects. In this study, in order to improve the neutrophilic granulocyte levels in the blood after radiotherapy and chemotherapy, we developed a sustained-r...

in this work, an environmentally friendly sample pre-treatment method, ultrasound assisted surfactant enhanced emulsification microextraction (uaseme) followed with spectrofluorimetry was performed for determination of oxadiazon residues in water samples. after the determination of the most suitable extraction solvent and its volume, other parameters such as type and concentration of surfactant...

in this study, simple and efficient ultrasound-assisted emulsification microextraction (usaeme) combined with gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (gc-fid) was developed for the preconcentration and determination of carbamazepine in biological samples. in this method, the fine droplets of 1-octanol were formed and dispersed in the sample with the help of ultrasonic waves, which accelera...

We describe here light-regulated swelling and degradation features of polymeric nanoparticles that are produced using an inverse microemulsion polymerization method. We demonstrate the phototriggered release characteristics of the nanoparticles by sequestering protein molecules and releasing them using light as a trigger. Furthermore, the intracellular translocation of the nanoparticles, along ...

Background: Lower-brain glucose uptake is commonly present before the onset of cognitive deterioration associated with aging and may increase the risk of Alzheimer disease. Ketones are the brain’s main alternative energy substrate to glucose. Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) are rapidly b-oxidized and are ketogenic but also have gastrointestinal side effects. We assessed whether MCT emulsifica...

Spontaneous emulsification, resulting from the assembly and accumulation of surfactants at liquid–liquid interfaces, is an interfacial instability where microdroplets are generated diffusively spread interface until complete emulsification. Here, it shown that external magnetic field can modulate paramagnetic nanoparticle (NPSs) interfaces to trigger oversaturation in areal density NPSs interfa...
