The Curie temperature of electron-doped Sr2FeMoO6 can be optimized significantly due to the band-filling effect, but accompanying an almost absent low-field magnetoresistance (LFMR), which is unfavorable applications in magnetoresistive devices operated at room temperature. Our previous works confirmed that, a remarkable enhanced LFMR was observed by modifying grain boundary with insulating org...

Copper-ion conducting gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) systems based on poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and copper sulphate salt doped with glycerin as plasticizer have been synthesized by using solution casting technique. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is used to examine the thermal effect of a electrolyte. With addition various quantities glycerin, in pure PVA + 20 wt% CuSO4 shows decrease va...

Selenium is an important element for human's health, small size is very helpful for Se nanoparticles to be absorbed by human's body. Here, we present a facile approach to fabrication of small selenium nanoparticles (Nano-Se) as well as nanorods by dissolving sodium selenite (Na2SeO3) in glycerin and using glucose as the reduction agent. The as-prepared selenium nanoparticles have been character...

Background Several reports have focused on the value and biological transformation of industrial wastes as an alternative substrate for the production of high value-added components. In this context, it can cite the crude residual glycerin obtained as the primary byproduct of biodiesel production, which has increased exponentially during the last years. As an abundant residue, its disposal into...

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a highly pure form of cellulose, produced in the form of a swollen membrane by several bacteria that demonstrated to be able to modulate the skin release of model drugs. In the present study, the skin irritation potential of BC was evaluated in human subjects. BC membranes with and without glycerin (acting as plasticizer) were tested. No significant differences were ...

OBJECTIVE Rectal microbicides are needed to reduce the risk of HIV acquisition associated with unprotected receptive anal intercourse. The MTN-007 study was designed to assess the safety (general and mucosal), adherence, and acceptability of a new reduced glycerin formulation of tenofovir 1% gel. METHODS Participants were randomized 1:1:1:1 to receive the reduced glycerin formulation of tenof...
