Synthesis, characterization and antibacterial properties of pure and Li doped ZnO nanoparticles for alternative water disinfection methods
(2019-07-11)
As a consequence of growing water demand and pollution, water borne disease outbreaks are on the rise and current disinfection methods have shown to be ineffective in inactivating all pathogens during water treatment. Zinc ...
Biodegradable chitosan matrix composite reinforced with titanium dioxide for biocidal applications
(2019-12-09)
Access to drinkable water is increasingly difficult to find in developing nations. According to the World Health Organization, more than 1.2 billion people lack access to this basic resource. What is worse, water being the ...
Surface characterization of chemically modified electrodes with gold nanoparticles and (His)6-rHbI from Luciana pectinata for H2S Detection
(2019-05-15)
The recombinant polyhistidine-tagged hemoglobin I ((His)6-rHbI) from bivalve Lucina pectinata is an ideal biocomponent for a hydrogen sulfide (H2S) biosensor due to its high affinity for H2S. Nowadays it is clear that H2S ...
Microstructure and rheology of Janus particle suspensions
(2019-05-15)
The aggregate sizes and morphologies formed with colloidal particles have important consequences on the rheological behavior of colloidal suspensions. Self- and directed-assembly are the most used phenomena to produce ...
Novel surface-enhanced Raman scattering probes for water safety applications
(2019-05-14)
Fresh produce safety is of great concern in the food industry, since its raw consumption and minimal processing in comparison to other food commodities, exacerbates the risks to become one of the leading sources of foodborne ...
