Polysulfone membrane reactors for derivatization of carbon nanotubes
Voicu S.I., Muhulet A., Miculescu F., Miculescu M., Miculescu F., Miculescu M., Vizireanu S., University Politehnica from Bucharest, RO
We propose a new method for derivatization of amino carbon nanotubes with enzymes (carbonic anhydrase, invertase, and diastase) and crown ethers amino derivatives using a polysulfone membrane reactor. The principle of method consist in the [...]
Reduction in HDPE geomembrane thermal expansion using nanoclay particles
Polymer membranes have progressively replaced traditional building materials to perform waterproofing functions and control the advective migration of pollutants in civil engineering structures. Either during deployment or in service, geomembranes, 50% of which being made [...]
PLA-PEG nanoparticles are suitable for effective maturation and uptake by dendritic cells for Chlamydia trachomatis outer membrane peptide-based vaccine
Chlamydia trachomatis is considered an important human pathogen because it is the most reported sexually transmitted bacterial infection globally. We showed that M278 (a peptide derived from the major outer membrane protein of C. trachomatis) [...]
Preparation of GO/PVA composite as an adsorbent for the removal of Cr(VI) from water
Cr(VI) is a known toxic heavy metal and has been considered as a priority pollutant in water [1]. The effluent of various industries including electroplating, anodizing baths, leather tanning, steel industry and chromium based catalyst [...]
Evaluation of Biodegraded and Undegraded Plantain Peels as Replacement to Wheat Offal in Broiler Production
ABSTRACT This study evaluated replacement of wheat offal with biodegraded and un-degraded plantain peel in raising broilers Plantain peels was biodegraded using fungus Three diets were formulated diet I with 12% wheat offal was the [...]
The Secret of Chia Gel Revealed – Nanoscale 3D Network Retards and Prolongs Food Release
Chia Gels have been associated with numerous health benefits over centuries, like curbing diabetes and obesity by retarding digestion rate and quenching craving for more food. However, the exact mode of gelation has always been [...]
A new at-line quality and process control technology for real-time testing of viscoelastic changes in dairy and food products
Currently, few methods allow monitoring the viscoelastic properties of food products in production environments for process and quality control. In addition, there is a pressing need for a testing instrument that: is affordable and easy [...]
