Si-based anodes in lithium ion batteries (LIBs) have exceptionally high theoretical capacity, but the use of a Si-based anode in LIBs is problematic because the charging-discharging process can fracture the Si particles. Alginate and its derivatives show promise as Si particle binders in the anode. We show that calcium-mediated "egg-box" electrostatic cross-linking of alginate improves toughnes...

The present study aimed to determine the detoxification potential of food industry by-products such as yeast sludge against harmful effects aflatoxins on broilers. objective this was compare binding capacity fractions i.e. cell wall (YSCW) and solubles (YSCS) different levels AFB1 AFG1. Yeast sonicated into walls soluble. A total 300 one-day-old chicks were randomly divided 10 treatments with t...

We evaluated the strength and durability characteristics of latex-polymer-modified, pre-packed pavement repair concrete (LMPPRC) with a rapid-set binder. The rapid-set binder was a mixture of rapid-set cement and silica sand, where the fluidity was controlled using a latex polymer. The resulting mix exhibited a compressive strength of ¥21 MPa and a flexural strength of ¥3.5 MPa after 4 h of cur...

binders are of prime importance in the agglomeration of iron ore concentrates. in this research, strength and density of briquette produced from the magnetite concentrate of gol-e-gohar were investigated using different binders at various applied pressures. the results showed that peridor was the most effective binder relative to bentonite and lime. for all types of binders, the increase in bin...

Hand-held signals (HHS) are used in signaling troop movements and aircraft. Meant to attract attention and to identify the positions of military personnel, HHS technologies find use in both training exercises and combat situations, and improvements are being sought to advance existing HHS technology. One of the most popular HHS items used by the US military for illuminating purposes is the M127...

The objective of this study is to evaluate the rheological properties and chemical bonding of nano-modified asphalt binders blended with nanosilica. In this study, the nanosilica was added to the control asphalt at contents of 4% and 6% based on the weight of asphalt binders. Superpave binder and mixture tests were utilized in this study to estimate the characteristics of the nano-modifed aspha...

The use of an oral phosphate binder is a promising and most practical strategy for the prevention of vascular calcification in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). To secure the safety: 1) the oral phosphate binder must not cause adverse effects in the gastrointestinal tract; 2) the oral phosphate binder should be non-absorbable or barely absorbable through the gastrointestinal tract, or...

Water based inorganic alkali silicate binder of zinc rich primer was modified by adding acrylic resin derivatives. Several series of primer coatings were formulated by adding 5, 10 and 15 wt of acrylic and acrylic/styrene copolymer to potassium silicate binder and used as binder in zinc rich coatings. The formulated primers were applied on low carbon steel plates and the corrosion protection pr...

Gel filtration studies on erythrocyte hemolysate demonstrated the presence of a folate binding protein, apparently of the low-affinity type, that co-elutes with hemoglobin. Further, the folate binder eluted with a low salt concentration after DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B anion-exchange chromatography of erythrocyte hemolysate at pH 6.3. The chromatographic behavior of hemoglobin labeled with [3H]folate...
