The aim of this study is to prepare dissolvable biopolymeric microneedle (MN) patches composed solely sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), a water-soluble cellulose derivative with good film-forming ability, by micromolding technology for the transdermal delivery diclofenac salt (DCF). MNs ≈456 µm in height displayed adequate morphology, thermal stability up 200 °C, and required mechanical strength skin insertion (>0.15 N needle-1 ). Experiments ex vivo abdominal human demonstrate capability...
UV filters are potentially harmful to marine organisms. Given their worldwide dissemination and the scarcity of studies on fish, we evaluated toxicity an organic (oxybenzone) inorganic (titanium dioxide nanoparticles) filter, individually in a binary mixture, turbot (Scophthalmus maximus). Fish were intraperitoneally injected multi-level assessment was carried out 3 7 days later. Oxybenzone titanium nanoparticles induced mild effects turbot, both isolated mixture. Neither oxidative stress...
The global demand for sustainable textile fibers is growing and has led to an increasing research interest from both academia industry find effective solutions. In this research, regenerated wood pulp were functionalized with glycidyltrimethylammonium chloride (GTAC) produce modified cellulose cationic pending groups improved dye uptake. resultant a degree of substitution (DS) between 0.13 0.33 exhibited distinct morphologies contact angles water ranging 65.7° 82.5° the DS values 0.33,...
