Abstract Microdroplet deposition is a technology that spans applications from tissue engineering to microelectronics. Our new high-speed imaging measurements reveal how sequential linear deposition of overlapping droplets on flat uniform substrates leads to striking non-uniform morphologies for moderate contact angles…

We report an efficient and adaptable method for the microencapsulation of active ingredients by a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) shell material. The core–shell microcapsules were obtained by phase separation between the core component and the PDMS shell components after repartitioning of the common solvent THF between th…

We have developed new conditions that afford regioisomerically pure trans-A2B2-, A3B-, and trans-AB2C-porphyrins bearing aryl and arylethynyl substituents. The porphyrins were prepared by the acid-catalyzed condensation of dipyrromethanes with aldehydes followed by oxidation with p-chloranil or 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyan…

All the release behaviors fit the Higuchi model very well and the release kinetics are predominated by disulfide bond degradation and mesoporous structure. With good bioactivity and targeted release performance, the system could play an important role in the development o…

This paper proposes a two-step method for phosphogypsum (PG) decomposition by circulating various atmospheres instead of a single atmosphere. To achieve a high concentration of CaO in the final product, the PG was decomposed in reducing atmosphere with CO (99.99%) at rising temperature until the mass loss changes stab…
