There is a need for innovation in plant-derived pharmaceuticals, food supplements and nutraceutical products regarding the use of more eco-sustainable solvents for their extraction. Furthermore, the poor oral bioavailability of several phytochemicals with health promoting effects stimulates the research in the field of pharmaceutical formulations. Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NADES) are form...

Deep eutectic solvents (DES) have recently emerged as a new class of inexpensive biodegradable and additives with diverse applications. In this study, family non-ionic deep (NIDES) is proposed for the first time membrane preparation. Three types NIDES, N-methylacetamide-acetamide (DES-1), N-methyl acetamide-N-methyl urea (DES-2), acetamide-N,N′-dimethyl (DES-3) were synthesized used to dissolve...

Polymeric materials are widely used in every human endeavor (bottles, clothes, containers, toys, tools, etc.) due to their unique properties of chemical and mechanical resistance. They are, however, almost non-biodegradable, recycling into monomers is difficult costly, thereby allowing accumulation the environment. This review highlights recent advances use deep eutectic solvents (DESs) as cata...

Alternating anodic and cathodic current pulses have been applied to a metal powder on an electrode surface to fuse the particles together. It is shown that homogeneous films can be electroformed with different morphologies depending on the size of the powder and the experimental conditions.
