This study contributes to the preliminary development of active food packaging materials by using bio-based polymers under ultrasonic waves. For this alginate (Algi) polymer was reinforced with functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (COOH-MWCNTs) dispersed in surfactants form A-type films. Similarly, a B-type films, Algi blended polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) presence COOH-MWCNTs. The synthesized...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the association between plasma COOH-terminal proendothelin-1 (CT-proET-1) and fatal cardiovascular events, all-cause mortality, and new-onset albuminuria in patients with type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A total of 1,225 patients with type 2 diabetes participated in this prospective observational study of two combined cohorts. Thr...

In cryopreservation of mammalian germ cells, unfertilized oocytes are one of the most available stages because these cryopreserved oocytes can be used for assisted reproductive technologies, including in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection. However, it has been generally reported that the fertility and developmental ability of the oocytes are reduced by cryopreservati...

In this study, we synthesized a novel multifunctional benzoxazine monomer (Coumarin-COOH BZ), possessing both coumarin and COOH groups, through the reaction of 4-methyl-7-hydroxycoumarin, 4-aminobenzoic acid, and paraformaldehyde in 1,4-dioxane, with the structure confirmed using 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Differential scanning calo...

Thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) has gained considerable attention because of having a combination rubbery and thermoplastic properties ease production. Their excellent weather resistance, low density, relatively cost make them attractive materials for the automotive, electrical, footwear industries membranes water treatment. main shortcomings are poor mechanical properties, especially at tempera...

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) has a wide range of physiological functions and therapeutic value. However, its biomedical application as health product or drug is limited by insolubility low bioavailability. Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have attracted great interest for agent delivery due to their unique properties. In this study, the pristine SWCNTs are purified with different oxidizing acid,...

The character and degree of influence carboxylic acid groups (COOH) on the sensory properties (particularly chemoresistive response) a gas sensor based zigzag armchair graphene nanoribbons are shown. Using density functional theory (DFT) calculations, it is found that more promising to use carboxylated nanoribbon as element. response these higher than uncarboxylated nanoribbons. It also reveale...

Polyphosphazene was synthesized by ultrasonic using 4,4-diaminodiphenyl ether and hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene (HCCP) as precursors. Next, it further carbonized functionalized to prepare the carboxylic-acid N, P co-doped carbon materials (NPCs-COOH). The structure of NPCs-COOH characterized FTIR, SEM XPS. sorption performance for U(VI) in solution were determined under diverse factors includin...

The electrochemical reduction of CO2 is an efficient method to convert waste into hydrocarbon fuels, among which methanol the direct liquid fuel in cells (DMFC). Copper most widely used catalyst for reaction (CO2RR); affected by surface morphology copper. Here, effect and mechanism CO2RR on three typical low-index Cu (100), (110) (111) surfaces are studied. According our results, provides optim...
