Conventional biomaterials suffer from mechanical stresses and biochemical degradation, compromising performance and structural integrity. Hydrogels are three-dimensional networks that hold a huge quantity of water but can ...

This study focuses on synthesizing a catalyst that can quickly degrade micropollutants in water with minimal ozone exposure. While ozone is an effective oxidizing agent, it can harm the environment at higher concentrations ...

Rare Earth Elements (REEs) constitute indispensable raw materials and are employed in a diverse range of devices, including but not limited to smartphones, electric vehicles, and clean energy technologies. While there is ...

Altering the route of uptake by the cells is an attractive strategy to overcome drug-receptor adaptation problems. Carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) with emission beyond tissue autofluorescence for imaging biological tissues ...

This article describes two sets of experiments designed to enhance the understanding of colloidal systems. These experiments were designed as a part of the theme “Colloids: Where Science Meets Engineering” taught in the ...

Liquid marbles (LMs) are droplets encapsulated with powders presenting varied roughness and wettability. These LMs have garnered a lot of attention due to their dual properties of leakage-free and quick transport on both ...

Chemo-mechanical transduction is one of the key mechanisms that has formed the basis for designing bio-inspired self-driven synthetic systems from soft materials. Polymer hydrogels that use Belousov–Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction ...

Chemical process industries are hazard intensive. Most industrial accidents occur today due to human error. For safe and efficient operation, it is therefore critical to ensure optimal operator performance. With the advent ...

The present study focuses on understanding the influence of change in pH and heating of ovalbumin (OVA) on the stabilization of soybean oil (SBO) in water emulsion gels with volume fraction (ϕ) = 0.60–0.74. OVA at acidic ...

In recent years, there has been a notable increase in the interest toward microfluidic devices for microbubble synthesis. The upsurge can be primarily attributed to the exceptional control these devices offer in terms of ...
