Phase change materials (PCMs) have great promise in many fields related to energy utilization and thermal management. However, PCMs face challenges large-scale applications due the intrinsic melting leakage, low conductivity poor photothermal conversion. Herein, nanoencapsulated phase (NanoPCMs) were fabricated by RAFT miniemulsion polymerization using quaternized poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl me...

Trimethoprim-MIPs were prepared by using (TMP) as the template well allylchloride (AYC) or allylbromide (AYB) monomer, used (TMPTA) tri methylol propane acrylate ethylene glycol di methyl (EGDMA) cross-linker and initiator (BP) benzyl peroxide. By different plasticizers (di butyl Phthalate (DBPH), Nitrobenzene (NB), oleic acid (OA) paraffin) for TMP-MIP1 (Di sebecate (DBS), Di (DMA), Tributylph...

1. A reversible light-induced enhancement of the fluorescence of a "hydrophobic fluorophore", 12-(9-anthroyl)-stearic acid (anthroyl stearate), is observed with chloroplasts supporting phenazine methosulfate, cyclic or 1,1'-ethylene-2,2'-dipyridylium dibromide (Diquat) pseudo-cyclic electron flow; no fluorescence change is observed when methyl viologen or ferricyanide are used as electron accep...

A new technology for the synthesis of rare earth stearate and several metal stearates at the same time is described in this paper. The optimum technical conditions for the synthesis of rare earth stearate and different metal stearate at the same time were studied. The results proved there was synergistic effect among rare earth stearate and metal stearate. The complex stabilizer has good heat s...

Three composite phase change materials (PCMs) were prepared by blending butyl stearate, dodecanol and RT20 with an organically modified montmorillonite (MMT), respectively. After the three composite PCMs were characterized by DSC, it was indicated that the RT20/MMT composite PCM was a good candidate for building applications due to its large latent heat, suitable phase change temperature and go...

Cycloartenyl stearate (1a), lupenyl stearate (1b), sitosteryl stearate (1c), and 24-methylenecycloartanyl stearate (1d) (sample 1) from the air-dried leaves of Syzygium samarangense exhibited potent analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities at effective doses of 6.25 mg/kg body weight and 12.5 mg/kg body weight, respectively. Sample 1 also exhibited negligible toxicity on zebrafish embryonic t...

Roller compaction is a dry granulation technique used in the pharmaceutical industry, in which a powder formulation is compressed into a ‘ribbon’ compact between two counter rotating rolls. The ribbon is subsequently milled into granules of a desired size range. Whilst simple in principle, successful control of a roller compaction process is often difficult as it is multivariate in design. Furt...
