Porous coordination polymers (PCPs) have been of great interest for scientist and engineers due to their potential use in applications such as heterogeneous catalysis, molecular storage, and gas separation via adsorption. ...

The productivity of suspended mammalian cell cultures plays a major role in the overall manufacturing costs of biotechnology products. Upstream cell culture product variability can lead to problems in downstream purification ...

This study describes the synthesis and characterization of sulfonated poly(styreneisobutylene- styrene) (SIBS) polymer nanocomposite membranes, which show antibacterial properties useful for the inactivation of Enterococci ...

The discovery and development of highly hydrophobic drugs represents an additional challenge for the pharmaceutical industry, as traditional methods of encapsulation, administration, and dosage are not always appropriate. ...

Due to their outstanding and tunable electronic properties, platinum nanowires have the potential to be used in the development of advanced devices. The quantum confinement effect of the electrons and the increased surface ...

This dissertation sheds some light on the dynamics and rheological properties of compound multiphase drops in the creeping motion limit of the fluid phases from a fundamental standpoint. A compound multiphase drop can ...

Pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) have emerged in surface water in concentration levels enough to categorize them as “emerging contaminants” due to a lack of efficient wastewater treatment plant removal ...

Hot-melt extrusion has gained significance in the pharmaceutical industry to formulate solid dispersions. In a solid dispersion, poorly-water soluble drugs can be dispersed in an inert hydrophilic polymer matrix, improving ...

The aim of this research work was to study the rheological properties of an industrially relevant gelatin-based pharmaceutical formulation, since the rheology of the product provides information regarding the structure ...

The Green's functions integral technique is used to determine the conduction heat transfer temperature field in flat plates, circular plates, and solid spheres with saw tooth heat generating sources. In all cases the ...
