Phosphorus-doped carbon–carbon nanotube hierarchical monoliths exhibiting energy densities of around 22.6 W h kg⁻¹ at power up to 10 kW were capable functioning as true three-dimensional electrodes in supercapacitor cells.

The absence of efficient therapies for the treatment lesions affecting central nervous system encourages scientists to explore new materials in an attempt enhance neural tissue regeneration while preventing inhibitory fibroglial scars. In recent years, superlative properties graphene-based have provided a strong incentive their application biomedicine. Nonetheless, few attempts date envisioned use graphene fabrication three-dimensional (3D) substrates repair, but none these involve oxide...

Ionic liquids and deep eutectic solvents (a new class of ionic obtained by complexation quaternary ammonium salts with hydrogen bond donors such as acids, amines, alcohols among others) have been recently used even precursors in the synthesis carbonaceous materials. The use long-alkyl-chain derivatives that, playing role structure directing agents, were capable designing mesoporous resulting carbons is particular interest. Meanwhile, proved efficient tailoring comprised between large...

Microwave irradiation combined with mild heating was demonstrated as a suitable synthetic method for the preparation of NiCo2O4 nanowires and NiCo2O4–graphene oxide nanocomposites. In both cases, synthesis carried out in just few minutes, at relatively low temperatures certain economy reagents. particular case nanocomposites, deposited form not only nanowires, but also ultrafine nanoparticles on surface graphene sheets due to preferred activation these under microwave irradiation. The...

Deep eutectic solvents composed of resorcinol, 3-hydroxypyridine and tetraethylammonium bromide have been used for the synthesis hierarchical nitrogen-doped carbon molecular sieves highly suitable CO₂ adsorption.

Abstract Interfacial properties (surface tension, σ, and critical micelle concentration, CMC) of aqueous solutions Tween 20 (polyoxyethylene sorbitan monolaurate) and/or bovine serum albumin (BSA) were evaluated. Temperature, concentration in the phase, BSA/Tween ratio, phase composition [water, ethanol (0.5, 1.0, 2.5 M), sucrose (0.5 M)] variables studied. The CMC was determined by surface tension measurements (Wilhelmy plate method). existence BSA‐Tween interactions deduced from...

The adsorption kinetic at the air−aqueous phase interface of bovine serum albumin (BSA) has been studied. Data are presented and analyzed for short time taking into account diffusion protein from bulk to interface, in absence convection. kinetics was determined by surface tension measurements as a function time, concentration phase, composition (aqueous solutions ethanol sucrose). temperature (20 °C), pH (7.0), ionic strength (0.05 M) were maintained constant. since pressure is lower than 5...

Structural characteristics (structure, elasticity, topography, and film thickness) of dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) dioleoyl (DOPC) monolayers were determined at the air−water interface 20 °C pH values 5, 7, 9 by means surface pressure (π)−area (A) isotherms combined with Brewster angle microscopy (BAM) atomic force (AFM). From π−A monolayer we deduced that, during compression, DPPC present a structural polymorphism interface, homogeneous liquid-expanded (LE) structure;...

Mixed Langmuir monolayers of amphotericin B (AmB) and dipalmitoyl phosphatidyl choline (DPPC) were investigated by recording surface pressure−area (π−A) isotherms in addition to Brewster angle microscopy. The analyses π−A compressional modulus curves indicate the existence interactions AmB−DPPC system; greatest found occur for a ca. 2:1 AmB/DPPC mixture. For this mixed monolayer (XAmB = 0.66), formation stable complex, composed two horizontally oriented AmB molecules one DPPC molecule...

Quantitative analysis made measurements relative reflectivity during compression/decompression. A 3-fold increase in thickness throughout compression expanded...

In this paper we are concerned with adsorption, structure, morphology, and dynamic properties of food dairy proteins (β-casein, caseinate, whey protein isolate (WPI)) water-insoluble lipids (monopalmitin monoolein) at the air-water oil-water interfaces. Combined surface chemistry (surface film balance tensiometry) microscopy (Brewster angle (BAM)) techniques have been used to determine relative thickness, relaxation phenomena, dilatational rheological characteristics emulsifiers (proteins...

The elimination of small amounts water from alcohols is by no means a trivial issue in many practical applications like, for instance, the dehumidification biocombustibles. use carbonaceous materials as sorbents has been far less explored than that other because their hydrophobic character typically limited uptake. Herein, we designed synthetic process based on eutectic mixtures allowed homogeneous dispersion graphene oxide (GO) liquid containing carbon precursor, e.g., furfuryl alcohol....

The efficient operation of the liquid breeding blankets relies on correct definition transport parameters protium, deuterium and tritium in PbLi metals with an eutectic composition. This is case DCLL blanket or WCLL, where solubility diffusivity values will affect to induced flux terms magnitude kinetics. However, there exists a huge band literature for results obtained experimentally isotopes mentioned metal alloy, which unacceptable from designing point view. Moreover, exact content...
