Valorisation of the urban plastic waste in high-quality recyclates is an imperative challenge new paradigm circular economy. In this scenario, a key role improvement recycling process exerted by optimization sorting. spite enormous developments achieved field automated sorting systems, quest for reduction cross-contamination incompatible polymers as well rapid and punctual unmatched has not been sufficiently developed. paper, we demonstrate that miniaturized handheld near-infrared (NIR)...
Thin-film transistors (TFTs), which use zinc oxide (ZnO) as an active layer, were fabricated and investigated in detail. The transport properties of ZnO deposited by spray pyrolysis (SP) on a TFT structure are studied wide range temperatures, electrical conditions (i.e., subthreshold, above-threshold linear, saturation regions), at different channel lengths. It is shown that SP nanocrystalline material; its field-effect mobility temperature activated increases with carrier concentration. On...
Identification of extracellular vesicle (EV) subpopulations remains an open challenge. To date, the common strategy is based on searching and probing set molecular components physical properties intended to be univocally characteristics target subpopulation. Pitfalls include risk opt for unsuitable marker - which may either not represent subpopulation or also cover other unintended need use different characterization techniques equipment. This approach focused specific markers result...
Plastic and microplastics, including polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), are major contributors to environmental pollution. However, there is a growing recognition of the need investigate wider range plastic polymers fully understand extent impacts This study focuses on comprehensive characterization true-to-life nanoplastics (T2LNPs) derived from terephthalate (PET) polyamide (PA) enhance our understanding T2LNPs were produced through cryogenic mechanical fragmentation...
Abstract The direct, clean, and unbiased transduction of molecular recognition into a readable reproducible response is the biggest challenge associated to use synthetic receptors in sensing. All possible solutions demand mastering at solid–liquid interface as prerequisite. socially relevant issue screening amine‐based illicit designer drugs addressed by nanomechanical silicon–water interface. methylamino moieties different are all first recognized single cavitand receptor through...
Mineral carbonation, involving reactions of alkaline earth oxides with CO2, has received great attention, as a potential carbon dioxide sequestration technology. Indeed, once converted into mineral carbonate, CO2 can be permanently stored in an inert phase. Several studies have been focalized to the utilization industrial waste feedstock and reuse some by-products possible materials for carbonation reactions. In this work municipal solid incineration fly ash other ashes, bottom ash, coal...
In this work a new mesoporous adsorbent material obtained from natural, high abundant raw and volume industrial by-product is presented. The consolidated by the gelling properties of alginate decomposition sodium-bicarbonate controlled porosity at low temperatures (70-80°C) different scale lengths. structural, thermal, morphological characterization shows that organic-inorganic hybrid. tested as adsorbent, showing performances. Methylene blue, used model pollutant, can be adsorbed removed...
The novelty resides in a comparison of various analytical parameters for direct analysis Pb, Zn and Cd soils.
Abstract A study is presented of the nanomechanical phenomena experienced by nanoparticle‐conjugated biomolecules. thermodynamic framework developed to describe binding thrombin‐binding aptamer (TBA) thrombin when TBA conjugated nanorods. Binding results in nanorod aggregation (viz. directed self‐assembly), which detectable absorption spectroscopy. The analysis introduces energy aggregation, separating it into TBA–thrombin recognition and surface‐work contributions. Consequently,...
The COVID-19 pandemic suddenly changed the lifestyle of billions people. Face masks became indispensable to protect from contagion providing a significant environmental impact. aim this work is propose possible solutions decrease masks’ impact on environment. For reason, different (surgical and fabric) were considered, CO2 emissions associated with mask materials production calculated. Carbon Footprint (CF) for each material composing was evaluated through database Ces Selector 2019....
