This article reports on the preparation of a water-soluble nanoemulsion of the highly lipid-soluble drug Dacarbazine (DAC). In addition, relative to suspensions of DAC, the nanoemulsion preparation demonstrated a lower zeta-potential (decreased negative charge, less anionic and more cationic) which has previously been…

Insect silks are secreted from diverse gland types; this chapter deals with the silks produced by labial glands of Holometabola (insects with pupa in their life cycle). Labial silk glands are composed of a few tens or hundreds of large polyploid cells that secrete polymerizing proteins which are stored in the gland lu…

An enzymatic route for synthesis of a conducting nanocomposite between Polyaniline (PANI) and anatase TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) is presented. The presence of sulfonated polystyrene (SPS) affects the polymerization reaction. Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was used to catalyze the polymerization. Polyaniline was deposited…

Using differential x-ray absorption spectroscopy (DiffXAS) we have measured and quantified the intrinsic, atomic-scale magnetostriction of Fe81Ga19. By exploiting the chemical selectivity of DiffXAS, the Fe and Ga local environments have been assessed individually. The enhanced magnetostriction induced by the addition…

Enzymatic cleavage of the glycosidic bond yields products in which the anomeric configuration is either retained or inverted. Each mechanism reflects the dispositions of the enzyme functional groups; a facet of which is essentially conserved in 113 glycoside hydrolase (GH) families. We show that family GH97 has diverg…

A crystal plasticity model for body-centered-cubic (BCC) single crystals, taking into account the plastic anisotropy due to non-planar spreading of screw dislocation cores is presented. In view of the longstanding contradictory statements on the deformation of BCC single crystals and their macroscopic slip planes, rec…

Chitosan, a cationic polysaccharide, has been widely used as a dietary supplement and in a variety of pharmacological and biomedical applications. The antifungal activity and mechanism of action of low molecular weight water-soluble chitosan (LMWS-chitosan) were studied in fungal cells and vesicles containing various…

Abstract Cornstarch, at 20% moisture content (dry basis, d.b.), was mixed with glycerol at 3:1 ratio to form the base material for extruded starch films. Stearic acid, sucrose and urea, at varying concentrations, were tested as secondary plasticizers for the starch‐glycerol mixture. The ingredients were extruded at 11…

To increase the thermal conductivity of polymer/ceramic composites, aluminum nitride (AlN) granules were added as a ceramic filler. Granules, sintered at 1850°C for 24 h, showed a very high conductivity of 266±26 W (m·°C) −1 , as measured by a thermal microscope equipped with thermoreflectant and periodic heating tech…

Effective grain interface modification was conducted to increase the coercivity of Nd–Fe–B sintered magnets without degrading their magnetic properties seriously. The surface of magnet pieces (3.0 × 3.0 × 2.8 mm 3 ) was uniformly coated with a Dy or Tb metal film, and then each metal was introduced inside the magnets…

In this study the normality of the cotton fiber length number distribution and weight distribution are tested by using the Chi-2 statistic test. Good correlations between the cotton fiber length distribution by weight and the normal distribution with the same mean and standard deviation are obtained. This test further…

The properties of a polymer are strongly influenced by its morphology. In the case of fibers from semi-crystalline polymers this consists of the degree of crystallinity, the spacing and alignment of the crystalline regions, and molecular orientation of the polymer chains in the amorphous regions. Information on crysta…

Investigations of rheological properties of ferrofluids have shown strong changes of the viscosity in magnetic fluids with an applied magnetic field. The change of the viscosity – the magnetoviscous effect – can theoretically be described with chain and structure formation under the influence of a magnetic field. More…
