Fungus is a member of a large group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds (British English: moulds), as well as the more familiar mushrooms. These organisms are classified as a kingdom, Fungi, which is separate from plants, animals, protists and bacteria. One major difference is that fungal cells have cell walls that contain chitin, unlike the cell walls ...

There have been various attempts to simulate the self-assembly process of lipid aggregates by computers. However, due to the computationally complex nature of the problem, previous simulations were often conducted with unrealistic simplifications of the molecules' morphology, intermolecular interactions, and the environment in which the lipid molecules interact. In this article, we present a ne...

This chapter describes the details of the synthesis of polyaniline (PAni) nanofiber reinforced polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanocomposites employing in-situ rapid mixing polymerization technique and the effect of SHI irradiation on the physico-chemical properties of the nanocomposites. Modifications in the morphology, conformation and the charge transport properties of the nanocomposites have been i...

objective(s): in the current study, sunscreen and moisturizing properties of solid lipid nanoparticle (sln)-safranal formulations were evaluated. materials and methods:series of sln were prepared using glyceryl monostearate, tween 80 and different amounts of safranal by high shear homogenization, and ultrasound and high-pressure homogenization (hph) methods. sln formulations were characterized ...
