Nanocarbon-based conducting fibres have been produced using solution- or dry-spinning techniques. Highly conductive polymer-composite fibres containing large amounts of conducting nanomaterials have not been produced without dispersants, however, because of the severe aggregation of conducting materials in high-concentration colloidal solutions. Here we show that highly conductive (electrical c...

Homogenizers are commonly used to produce oil-in-water emulsions that consist of emulsifier-coated oil droplets suspended within an aqueous phase. The functional attributes of emulsions are usually controlled by selecting appropriate ingredients (e.g., surfactants, co-surfactants, oils, solvents, and co-solvents) and processing conditions (e.g., homogenizer type and operating conditions). Howev...

conclusions the most effective enhancer for aha and ha were liquid paraffin and glycerol, respectively. the most effective surfactant for both aha and ha was tween 80. the effects of the enhancers were increased by prolonging the exposure time. results after 1.5 and 12 hours, the maximum permeated amount of aha were 89.8 and 342.5 mg, respectively, which related to the formulations with liquid ...

the present investigation was aimed at studying the effect of incubation period, media, vitamins and solvents on biotransformation of albendazole by cunninghamella blakesleeana. the transformation was evaluated and identified by high performance liquid chromatography (hplc) and the structures of the transformed products were assigned by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (lc/ms/ms) ...

background: histamine is a food-borne chemical hazard which causes scombroid poisoning. the efficiency of histamine recovery from fish is greatly influenced by selection of an appropriate extraction solvent. hence, in this study the efficiency of different extraction solvents on recovery of histamine from fresh, frozen and canned fish was evaluated. methods: fresh, frozen and canned rainbow tro...

The active component extraction from plants is the first crucial step in natural product research. For non-targeted with an objective to isolate and characterize as many compounds possible, most classical technique, simplest implement, Soxhlet extraction; however, it does not allow retrieving all plant (when additionally cause artifacts during long heating process). second used technique by suc...

Graphene-based materials have attracted significant attention in many technological fields, but scaling up graphene-based technologies still faces substantial challenges. High-throughput top-down methods generally require hazardous, toxic, and high-boiling-point solvents. Here, an efficient inexpensive strategy is proposed to produce graphene dispersions by liquid-phase exfoliation (LPE) throug...

This protocol describes the isolation of native protein complexes by density gradient ultracentrifugation. The outcome of an affinity capture and native elution experiment is generally a mixture of (1) the complex(es) associated with the protein of interest under the specific conditions of capture, (2) fragments of the complex generated by degradation or disassembly during the purification proc...

Conjugated linoleic acid l-menthyl ester was hydrolyzed in water by the lipase from Candida rugosa with the addition of an organic solvent. The degree of hydrolysis (yield) greatly improved when a tertiary alcohol, such as t-butyl alcohol, was added. However, the addition of a less polar solvent, such as hexane, decreased the degree of hydrolysis, and some water-miscible solvents, such as aceto...

We present a method where epsilon-cobalt nanoparticles with an average diameter of 4.5 nm can be synthesized in a controlled process and in significantly larger quantities than previously reported in the literature, based on the thermal decomposition of dicobaltoctacarbonyl in the presence of oleic acid and trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO). Moreover, since the resulting particles are coated with ...
