BSA adsorption onto negatively and positively charged polystyrene nanoparticles was investigated. The were characterized in terms of particle size, zeta potential, surface group density, morphology. behavior on the surface, as a function pH overall charge particle, studied using ITC. Different thermodynamic data such enthalpy changes upon binding stoichiometry systems determined discussed. degree coverage with calculated data. cellular uptake particles before after HeLa cells presence...
Lignin-based nano- and microcarriers are a promising biodegradable drug delivery platform inside of plants. Many wood-decaying fungi capable degrading the wood component lignin by segregated lignases. These responsible for severe financial damage in agriculture, many these plant diseases cannot be treated today. However, enzymatic degradation is also an attractive handle to achieve controlled release drugs from artificial vehicles. Herein, chemically cross-linked nanocarriers (NCs) were...
Microplastics (MPs) pose one of the major environmental threats to marine organisms and ecosystems on a global scale. Although many crustaceans are highly susceptible MPs pollution, toxicological effects mechanisms poorly understood. The current study focused impacts accumulation in shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei at behavioral, histological biochemical levels. results demonstrated polystyrene various organs L. vannamei, with highest abundance hepatopancreas. accumulated caused growth...
Butyric acid is produced from the petroleum derivative propylene by chemical route. It an important precursor in fuel, pharmaceutical, chemical, and food industries. However, due to demand for bio-based molecules, fermentative production of butyric renewable feedstocks has received growing attention. Worthy new applications make it outstanding precursor. This review thoroughly discusses steps produce lignocellulosic materials, including evaluating suitable biomass, presenting recurrent...
Physical pretreatments play a crucial role in reducing the recalcitrance of lignocellulosic biomass, facilitating its conversion into fermentable sugars for bioenergy and chemical applications. This study critically reviews physical pretreatment approaches, including mechanical comminution, irradiation (ultrasound, microwave, gamma rays, electron beam), extrusion, pulsed electric field. The discussion covers mechanisms action, operational parameters, energy efficiency, scalability...
Fragmentation/disassembly of fiber-like micelles generated by living crystalline-driven self-assembly (CDSA) is usually encountered in aqueous media, which hinders the applications micelles. Herein, we report generation uniform consisting a π-conjugated oligo(
Cellulose acetate (CA) is a low cost, biodegradable polymer obtained from renewable resources. The development of CA active films to reduce or inhibit microbial growth in food could increase products' shelf‐life while decreasing the use petroleum‐based non‐biodegradable polymers on packaging. In this work, containing carvacrol, major antimicrobial compound oregano essential oil, were by solvent‐casting and extensively characterised. Results showed that carvacrol concentrations up 10 wt.% was...
