Plastics and glues are common causes of occupational dermatoses, but only few reports have dealt with patch-test reactions caused by plastic and glue allergens. Patients exposed to plastics and remitted to an occupational dermatology clinic, were patch-tested with 50-53 plastic and glue allergens during a 6-year period. Conventional patch-test techniques were used. The most common causes of all...

In this study, combinations of bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BPADGE) and polyethylenimine (PEI) were investigated as effective crosslinking agents for soy protein isolate (SPI) at room temperature. Three-ply plywood panels prepared with the SPI-BPADGE-PEI adhesives via a cold press process evaluated their water resistance shear strengths in accordance requirements American National Standard Har...

This article reports on the preparation of iron nanoparticles (FeNPs) supported in chitosan beads (Chi-EDGE-Fe) for removing aldrin from aqueous solutions. The FeNPs and Chi-EDGE-Fe were characterized by means scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Mössbauer spectroscopy (MS) techniques. TEM, XRD, MS showed that had co...
