Performance of bitumen is significantly susceptible to the environmental changes and traffic loading characteristics. Thus, different types of asphalt additives may improve the bitumen performance under these conditions. In this paper, the rheological properties of a conventional asphalt binder (typically used in Egypt) modified with different poly...

AbstractNowadays, the increasing demands from consumer challenges the traditional leather products. Traditional polymer leather finishes gradually lose their dominant position in the market. To address this issue, recent research effort has been devoted to developing polymer-based organic-inorganic nanocomposite leather finishes due to their variou...

This article describes the synthesis and application of a novel sorbent for Cr(III) and Cr(VI) speciation prior to their quantitation by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The sorbent consists of polystyrene-divinyl benzene microbeads that were graft-coated with poly(oligo (ethylene glycol) methacrylate)-block-poly(glycidyl methacrylate)...

A simple, rapid and ultrasensitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) assay was developed for detection of Cu2+. It is based on the use of polyvinylpyrrolidine-functionalized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). Detection is enabled because of the presence of N and O atoms in PVP which have specific coordination capability for Cu2+. Coordination is ...

BackgroundEngineered vaccine proteins incorporating both antigen and adjuvant components are constructed with the aim of combining functions to induce effective protective immunity. Bacterial flagellin is a strong candidate for an engineered vaccine scaffold as it is known to provide adjuvant activity through its TLR5 and inflammasome activation. M...

Les nanotubes de carbone mono-feuillets sont actuellement étudiés et développés du fait de leurs propriétés physiques uniques. En particulier, l'émission de photons uniques à température ambiante a été récemment publiée. Dans le but d'intégrer les nanotubes de carbone dans des dispositifs, des efforts doivent être faits du point de vue expérimental...
The cost and the development time of pharamecutical products are often severely affected by the in vitro tests currently employed in pharmaceutical R&D. These assays are often failing to accurately recapitulate diseases and to predict human responses to new medicines. Organ-on-Chip (OOC) devices are designed to result in advanced in vitro assays th...
