Cu-Mn alloy films are electrodeposited on Au substrates as precursor alloys for the synthesis of fine-structured nanoporous Cu structures. The alloys are deposited galvanostatically in a solution containing ammonium sulfate, (NH4)2SO4, which serves as a source of the ammine ligand that complexes with Cu, thereby decreasing the inherent standard red...

Dabieshan tick virus (DTV) is a novel tick-borne virus with the potential to infect both animals and humans. It has been confirmed that DTV is widely distributed in Shandong and Zhejiang Provinces. In this study, a total of 389 ticks were sampled from Honghe city of Yunnan Province and Bijie city of Guizhou Province, and then divided into 148 pools...
Oppositely charged polymer–surfactant complexes are frequently explored as a function of phase space defined by the charge ratio Z, (where Z = [+polymer]/[−surfactant]), commonly accessed through the surfactant concentration. Tuning the phase behaviour and related properties of these complexes is an important tool for optimising commercial formulat...

AbstractOriginal and literature data on the thermodynamic characteristics of the formation of complex compounds of d-metal ions with glycinate and glycylglycinate ions in water–organic solvents are summarized. The contribution from the resolvation of reagents to the change in stability of glycinate and glycylglycinate complexes and the heat effects...
Limiting gastrointestinal oxalate absorption is a promising approach to reduce urinary oxalate excretion in patients with idiopathic and enteric hyperoxaluria. Phosphate binders, that inhibit gastrointestinal absorption of dietary phosphate by the formation of easily excretable insoluble complexes, are commonly used as a treatment for hyperphosphat...

It is of great significance to realize the sustainable development of the environment to synthesize functional materials by value-added utilization of waste resources. Herein, a composite material of polyacrylic acid/lignosulfonate sodium/cotton biochar (PAA/LS/BC) was successfully prepared by grafting polyacrylic acid with functionalized waste cot...
The selective precipitation of rare earth elements (REEs) in acidic media often plays a key role in the effective extraction of these elements from various sources such as ores and recycling streams. In this study, the precipitation characteristics of REEs with sulfate, a frequently used precipitant, were carefully examined, and the results were co...
The effect of polymer adsorption on the stability and viable shelf life of 55 μm diameter oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions containing the steroid, betamethasone 21-phosphate was investigated. Two acrylate polymers, Carbopol® 971P and 974P, were added in the role of emulsion stabilizers to a model system, representing a non-ionic low molecular weight su...
Cyclodextrins are widely used in pharmaceutics to enhance the bioavailability of many drugs. Conventional drug/cyclodextrin complexation techniques suffer from many drawbacks, such as a high residual content of toxic solvents in the formulations, the degradation of heat labile drugs and the difficulty in controlling the size and morphology of the p...
In this paper, we report the development of the novel self-assembling systems based on oppositely charged Pillar[5]arenes and surfactants for encapsulation of diagnostic dye DAPI. For this purpose, the aggregation behavior of synthesized macrocycles and surfactants in the presence of Pillar[5]arenes functionalized by carboxy and ammonium terminal g...
