Biopolymer nanoparticles (NPs) produced from poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) are typically formed by first dissolving the polymer in organic solvents. In order to eliminate use of toxic solvents, an alternative “green” solvent system using glacial acetic acid was used this study for preparation NPs via nanoprecipitation. The influence various factors on resulting particle si...

Alumina toughened zirconia (ATZ) nanoceramics accompanied with high-strength, high-toughness and high-hardness were prepared by in-situ nanoprecipitation from using solid solution micro-powders. The submicron-sized Al2O3 (∼445 nm) ZrO2 (∼361 grains contained low-density precipitated nano-ZrO2 (∼35 nano-Y4Al2O9 (YAM, ∼87 particles, respectively, making high-performance nano-ATZ ceramics ultrafin...

Abstract Thermoelectric (TE) performance of polycrystalline stannous selenide (SnSe) has been remarkably promoted by the strategies energy band, defect engineering, etc. However, due to intrinsic insufficiencies phonon scattering and carrier concentration, it is hard simultaneously realize regulations electrical thermal transport properties one simple approach. Herein, we develop Cu Ce co-dopin...

Tetrahydrocurcumin (THC) is a natural molecule with anticancerous, antioxidant and other beneficial activities. However, its low aqueous solubility leads to poor bioavailability. Sodium caseinate (NaCas) an ideal protein carrier amphiphilic non-toxic properties, which provides new possibility for improving the of THC. In this study, THC loaded nanoparticles ([email protected]) were successfully...
