THE INFLUENCE OF SILICA-COATED NANOSCALE TITANIUM DIOXIDE ON THE MICROSTRUCTURE, MECHANICAL PROPERTIES, AND CARBONATION RESISTANCE OF CEMENTITIOUS MATERIALS

Nanomaterials possess great application prospects in improving the performance of cementitious materials.However, their high agglomeration hinders their efficient utilization in cementitious matrices.Consequently, surface modification has recently attracted attention as a method to enhance dispersibility.In this study, silica was employed to modify

Human spaceflight is associated with several health-related issues as a result of long-term exposure to microgravity, ionizing radiation, and higher levels of psychological stress.Frequent reported skin problems in space include rashes, itches, and a delayed wound healing.Access to space is restricted by financial and logistical issues; as a conseq

Effective process development towards intensified processing for gene delivery applications using Hepatitis B core Antigen (HBcAg) virus-like particles (VLPs) relies on analytical methods for the absolute quantification of HBcAg VLP proteins and bound nucleic acids.We investigated a silica spin column (SC)-based extraction procedure, including prot

Stranded driftwood feedstocks may represent, after pretreatment with steam explosion and enzymatic hydrolysis, a cheap C-source for producing biochemicals and biofuels Side Dishes using oleaginous yeasts.The hydrolysis was optimized using a response surface methodology (RSM).The solid loading (SL) and the dosage of enzyme cocktail (ED) were variate
