The functionalisation of potato starch using a greener and biologically important molecule, i.e., diphenyl carbonate under microwave irradiation to obtain nanoporous diphenyl carbonate/starch composites is demonstrated. A series of spectroscopic techniques were used to investigate the bonding between diphenyl carbonate and starch, along with morpho...

Despite a lot of progress over the last decades, rain retrieval from spaceborne measurement has been a challenge since the first launch of a passive microwave radiometers on one of the NOAA Defense Meteorological satellites in the 70s. Deep-learning and convolutional U-Nets might be able to offer a breakthrough on the topic because they do take int...

In this paper, we have synthesized surface active ionic liquid (SAIL)-capped zinc sulfide (ZnS) quantum dots (QDs) with an average size of approximately 3.03 nm using a systematic and facile microwave-irradiation method in aqueous solution. The imidazolium-based SAIL, 1-dodecyl-3-ethylimidazolium bromide was acted as a capping agent and was found t...

Production of inulin from yam bean tubers by ultrasonic assisted extraction (UAE) was optimized by using response surface methodology (RSM) and genetic algorithms (GA). Yield of inulin was obtained between 11.97%–12.15% for UAE and 11.21%–11.38% for microwave assisted extraction (MAE) using both the methodologies, significantly higher than conventi...

SiC nanomaterial (SiCNM) is known for its excellent properties and has great potential for a wide range of applications. In this article, preparation of SiCNMs from different types of graphite was performed by microwave-assisted synthesis. Different types of graphite which are graphite flake (GF) and expanded graphite (EG) were used to react with s...

Microwave ablation has been used to treat bone tumors in extremities for more than 30 years. With improved recognition, updated microwave equipment, and expanded clinical application, microwave ablation has recently been widely used to treat bone tumors. To standardize the application of microwave ablation in the clinical treatment of bone tumors i...

Antibacterial absorbent structures have been fabricated in two steps through partially and fully-irradiation modification using the glycidyl crosslinked acrylate-based microgels, synthesized by inverse emulsion polymerization. ATR-FTIR, SEM, optical microscope, as well as antibacterial activity, absorbency in DW and saline solution, have validated ...

A fast and simple bottom-up methodology is reported to allow, thanks to a spontaneous phenomenon, the grafting of various materials on polymer substrates. In 60 s, the inert surface of polystyrene material is converted into a functional platform onto which organic molecules and metal particles can be anchored. A polystyrene (PS) matrix is blended w...

Background In the wake of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and unprecedented global demand, clinicians are struggling to source adequate access to personal protective equipment. Respirators can be in short supply, though are necessary to protect workers from SARS-CoV-2 exposure. Rapid decontamination and reuse of respirators may provide relief for the strai...
