Quantum dots (QDs) are promising luminescent materials for display application owing to their excellent optical properties and easy processing. However, it is still challenging achieve high efficiency stability QDs in practical LED because of surface sensitivity air, heat moisture. Here we summary the recent developments enhancement terms chemistry, thermal management light extraction devices. ...

Background and objectives: Essential oils (EOs) of medicinal herbs are prone to degradation by oxidation, heating, or light. Encapsulation of EOs can protect these fragile volatile natural products from degradation. Thymus vulgaris (thyme) is a well-known herb which has been used as food additive as well as medicine since ancient times. Electrospraying is a novel techn...

Vitamin D (VD) deficiency is a significant issue affecting large population around the world. As its natural sources are limited, people must constantly fortify their VD. Encapsulating VD increases bioavailability and stability during processing storage; hence it has promising potential to avoid deficiency. This study reviews current methods of fortification encapsulation. Two predominant forti...

Essential oils (EOs) are natural bioactive compounds with antibacterial activity against a variety of microorganisms including phytopathogens. The use EOs and their components as viable therapeutic antibacterials is however greatly compromised by volatile nature, hydrophobicity instability when exposed to environmental physiological factors. Encapsulation these in an appropriate carrier system ...

Neuromodulation treatments are based on the functional interface between brain and man-made electrodes. Chronic inflammation around implant, however, occurs as a result of mechanical mismatching soft tissue stiff metallic electrode. After water uptake, cellulose films should prevent encapsulation In this work, we reinforced with silk fibre networks, improving tear strength by factor four to sev...

In this paper, the nonlinear squeeze-film damping (SFD) involving rarefied gas effect in micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) is investigated. Considering motion of structures (beam, cantilever, and membrane) MEMS, dynamic response structure affected greatly by SFD. traditional model, a viscous assumption that force linear with moving velocity used. As phenomenon observed for micro-structure...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the addition of commercial lipase in various forms on the acceleration of the ripening of uf-feta cheese. commercial lipase from aspergillus niger was encapsulated by using silica composition based on sol-gel method. lipase was then added to cheeses in three forms, namely, free lipase, encapsulated lipase, and encapsulated lipase with arabi...
