The nanocomposites of poly (Acryl amide-co-Acrylic acid) with different contents of NaAzeolite were prepared using ammonium persulfate as an initiator and N, N′-methylenebisacrylamide as the crosslinker. The morphology was characterized by SEM and the structure ofnanocomposite materials was studied with XRD and FT-IR that showed the interaction betweenporous materials and poly (AAm-co-Aac). The...

poly-drug use refers to the use of two or more substances at the one time or repeatedly. it is common among both recreational and regular drug users across the world. poly-drug use is a great contributor to the global number of deaths related to drug overdose. in this case, the likelihood of drug overdose and its pertaining complications in an individual is higher especially when benzodiazepine...

two new samples of poly(amide-imide)/nanocomposites containing bicyclo segment and dibenzalaceton moiety in the main chain were synthesized by a solution intercalation technique. poly(amide-imide) (pai) 8 as a source of polymer matrix was synthesized by the direct polycondensation reaction of n,n´-bis(4-carboxyphenyl)bicyclo[2,2,2]oct-7-ene-2,3,5,6-tetracarboxylic diimide 3 with 2,6-bis(4-amino...

background: the antioxidant components have been identified in some pine species. antioxidant properties of proantocyanidins reduce free radicals induced by dna fragmentation and lipid proxidation and also proanthocyanidines could curb lipid peroxidation. objective: in this study, we analyzed different parts of pinus eldarica (bark, seed and needle) and assessed their antioxidant contents. meth...

the poly(ethyleneimine)-functionalized silica has been developed successfully as an effective adsorbent for the adsorption removal of cu(ii) ions from electroplating wastewater. the influences of ph, contact time and initial concentration of cu(ii) ions on the adsorption capacity and the effect of adsorbent dosage on the removal efficiency of cu(ii) ions from electroplating wastewater were inve...

nanofber  mats  of  poly(ε-caprolactone)/nanoclay  nanocomposites  were fabricated by electrospinning. the effects of the solution concentration and  the  nanoclay  content  of  nanocomposite  materials  on  the  fnal nanofber  structure were  investigated. morphology  and  diameter  of  the  nanofbers were studied using optical and scanning electron microscope. it was observed that the  poly(ε...

  Background: Polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (Poly-IC) has been used as a viral stimulus to mimic in vivo and in vitro infection induced by some viruses. Objective: To determine whether non-viable Lactobacillus casei CRL431 (LcM) can modulate the immune response induced by Poly I:C in co-culture models of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and A549 cells. Methods: T and NK cell activati...

poly aromatic hydrocarbons are hydrophobic organic compound found as major contaminants in soil. soil biological activities are vital for the restoration of soil contaminated with hydrocarbons. successful application of bioremediation technology to contaminated soil requires knowledge of the characteristics of the site and the parameters that affect the microbial biodegradation of pollutants. t...
