The main source of commercial chitosan is the extensive deacetylation its parent polymer chitin. It present in green algae, cell walls or fungi and exoskeleton crustaceans. A novel procedure for preparing from shrimp shells was developed. involves two 10-minutes bleaching steps with ethanol after usual demineralization deproteinization processes. Before deacetylation, chitin immersed 12.5 M NaOH, cooled down kept frozen 24 h. obtained characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM),...
The ubiquity of nonbiodegradable polyethylene terephthalate (PET) materials has led to significant waste management challenges. Although PET plastics can be recycled, blended materials, such as PET/cotton fabrics, complicate the recycling process due labile glycosidic bonds in cotton. In this study, we present a practical and scalable approach for interwoven fabrics via catalytic glycolysis with ammonium bicarbonate (NH4HCO3), which decomposed ammonia, carbon dioxide, water. This...
Ni(1-x)FexO nanoparticles have been obtained by the co-precipitation chemical route. X-ray diffraction analyses using Rietveld refinement shown a slight decrease in microstrain and mean particle size as function of Fe content. The zero-field-cooling (ZFC) field-cooling (FC) magnetization curves show superparamagnetic behavior at high temperatures low temperature peak (at T = 11 K), which is enhanced with increasing concentration. Unusual coercive field region an exchange bias were also...
Polyethyleneimine (PEI) is a widely used polymer in catalysis, gas separation, water treatment, drug delivery, textile, and paper production. We propose new method of transforming hydrophobic hygroscopic PEIs into crystalline materials via simple alkylation. The structure the alkylated was characterized using powder X-ray diffraction, small-angle scattering, thermogravimetric analysis, inelastic neutron scattering. Consequently, amine-rich demonstrates CO2 responsiveness for CO2-mediated...

Gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) has been proposed as a major growth factor in brain tumors, and GRP receptor (GRPR) antagonists show antiproliferative effects experimental gliomas. However, the underlying molecular events downstream of GRPR activation remain poorly understood. In present study, we examined role regulating proliferation glioma cells vitro its possible interaction with phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling pathway. Expression mRNA protein C6, U-87MG, U-373MG was...
We present a systematic study of the coercive field CoFe2O4–SiO2 nanocomposites. The samples were prepared via sol-gel method by using Tetraethyl Orthosilicate as starting reagent.

In addition, shift in maximum Zero-Field-Cooled curves observed varying weight ratio CoFe2O4 to precursor is consistent with increasing average interparticle distances....
Developing new technologies for carbon sequestration and long-term storage is important. Clay minerals are interesting in this context as they low-cost, naturally abundant, can adsorb considerable amounts of CO2, present sites anthropogenic carbon.

Sustainable hydrogen production requires large amounts of treated freshwater and precious metals. Direct electrolysis seawater without additional electrolytes can be a practical approach to address these limitations, however, it usually suffers from kinetically favored chlorine evolution reaction (CER), which is detrimental an system. We report that organocatalytic amphiphilic diamines play crucial role in preventing the generation gas. The feasibility direct was demonstrated with...
Addressing atmospheric CO 2 levels during the transition to carbon neutrality requires efficient capture methods. Aqueous amine scrubbing dominates large‐scale flue gas but is hampered by energy‐intensive regeneration step, sorbent loss, and consequent environmental concerns with volatile amines.
