Recycled PET Nanofibers Produced by Electrospinning Technique
Gomes S.S., Oliveira A.M., Maia A., Zanin M.H.A., Institute for Technological Research, Group for BioNanoManufacturing, BR
The universe of science and materials technology has been revolutionized with the development of materials at nanoscale, which contribute to the improvement of material properties and development of new materials, such as non-woven recycled polyethylene [...]
Dyes Adsorption on Cu3(BTC)2 Metal-Organic Framework
The present work suggests an alternative to the solution of environmental problems caused by the textile industry effluents, which contain natural dyes and non-biodegradable synthetic mostly. This solution is the use of porous metal-organic frameworks [...]
Effects of Engineered Nanoparticles on Hydrophobic Organic Pollutants
As nanomaterials become increasingly part of everyday consumer products, it is imperative to measure their potential release during production, use, and disposal, and assess their impact on the health of human and the ecosystem. This [...]

Emerging Legal and Product Stewardship Implications of Products of Nanotechnology
While the pace of technological innovation is furious, the unambiguous application of law, regulation, and policy, and the implications of nanotechnology for effective product stewardship are moving at far lesser speeds, creating uncertainty and potential [...]
Preparation and Characterization of Highly Dispersive Acrylic Acid/Styrene Submicrocapsules by using Miniemulsion Copolymerization
This study reports the preparation and characterization of acrylic acid/styrene (AA/St) submicrocapsule having high value of zeta potential by using phytoncide oil as a model material. AA/St submicrocapsules were prepared by miniemulsion copolymerization with 1,3-diphenyl-2-propanone, [...]
Novel encapsulation technology based on Pickering emulsion systems
A novel technology based on using particles of biological origin for stabilizing emulsions, so called Pickering emulsions, was recently developed. This technology was further employed to encapsulate different types of active substances. Advance development and [...]
Interaction of Beta-Casein with Kappa-Casein Fibrils
Portnaya I., Avni S., Kesselman E., Cogan U., Danino D., Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, IL
Amyloid protein fibrils are associated with numerous degenerative diseases. Kappa casein (kCN) at physiological conditions is known to form amyloid-like fibrils. Although these are not considered disease-related, understanding fibrillization and inhibition of this process may [...]
