Omega-3 rich fish oils are extremely labile, thus requiring control of oxidation and off flavor development. A recently proposed emulsification method, layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition, was found to be a plausible method to enhance the characteristics of bioactive ingredients, especially lipids. The present work was designed to test the possibility of enhancing the uptake and utilization of omeg...

Understanding shockwave-induced physical and chemical changes of impact-absorbing materials is an important step toward the rational design of materials that mitigate the damage. In this work, we report a series of network-forming ionic liquids (NILs) that possess an intriguing shockwave absorption property upon laser-induced shockwave. Microstructure analysis by X-ray scattering suggests nano-...

europium (eu) doped zno microsphere based nano-sheets were synthesized through hydrothermal method. effects of different concentrations of europium on structural and optical properties of zno nano-sheets were investigated in detail. prepared un-doped and eu-doped zno samples were characterized using x-ray diffraction (xrd), energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (edx), scanning electron microscop...

To improve the durability performance of recycled aggregate concrete in actual use, this paper uses nano-TiO2-modified coarse to study, through experiments, effects nano-TiO2 on pore distribution after freeze–thaw. The capillary-water-absorption law was used as evaluation index. prepared with different contents nano-TiO2, and changes 24 h capillary water absorption porosity freeze–thaw cycles w...

a simple method has been developed for the preconcentration of copper(ii) based on the adsorption of its modified nano polyacrylonitrile fiber. modified nano polyacrylonitrile fiber (panf) was prepared by adding of acrylic fibers to msethanolamine (mma) with different concentration solutions. the stability of a chemically modified nano polyacrylonitrile fiber especially in concentrated hydrochl...

In this research work cobalt-ferrite (CoFe2O4) nanoparticles were synthesized by a simple, general sol-gel auto-combustion method. For this study, electromagnetic (EM) wave absorbing coatings with different weight fractions of nano-carbon and CoFe2O4 (which, arises from both dielectric and magnetic contributions) and polymeric epoxy resin were prepared and their characteristics were fully inves...
