Nature and origin of white efflorescence on bricks, artificial stones, and joint mortars of modern houses evaluated by portable Raman spectroscopy and laboratory analyses
(Elsevier, 2015-02-05)
Bricks and mortar currently constitute one of the most important building materials used in the
construction of most modern facades. The deterioration of these materials is caused primarily by the
impact of numerous ...
Evaluation of black crust formation and soiling process on historical buildings from the Bilbao metropolitan area (north of Spain) using SEM-EDS and Raman microscopy
(Springer, 2017-04)
In the present work, several building materials suffering from black crusts and soiled surfaces were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (SEM-EDS) and micro-Raman spectroscopy. ...
AZO Embedded IDEs for Monitoring Stimuli Responsive Materials
(Wiley, 2018-11)
A combination of atomic layer deposition and photolithography is applied to fabricate interdigitated electrodes of aluminum-doped zinc oxide embedded in polyethylene terephthalate substrates. Various designs with different ...
Understanding the behavior of stimuli-response ionogels for microfluidic applications
(Elsevier, 2016)
Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) studies of two different ionogels (IOs) are performed using gold interdigitated electrodes (Au-IDEs). Poly(N isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAAM) is polymerized in the presence of two ...
Ionogel-based Nitrite and Nitrate Sensor for Water Control at the Point-of-Need
(Elsevier, 2016)
The increment of uncontrolled nutrients concentration in water is the subject of increasing environmental concern. In particular, the increment of nitrate causes the eutrophication of algae, leading to fauna and flora ...
Comparison of Aquitaine and Rioja red wines: characterization of their phenolic composition and evolution from 2000 to 2013
(MDPI, 2017-01-24)
Wine chemical analysis was carried out on 194 commercial blended red wines produced by two major wine-growing areasthe Aquitaine (France) and Rioja (Spain) regionsin order to compare the wines of both regions. Anthocyanins ...
Formulation Of Carbopol((R))/Poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline)s Mucoadhesive Tablets For Buccal Delivery Of Hydrocortisone
(MDPI, 2018-02-11)
Poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) has become an excellent alternative to the use of poly(ethylene glycol) in pharmaceutical formulations due to its valuable physicochemical and biological properties. This work presents a formulation ...
Lipid Oxidation Inhibitory Effects and Phenolic Composition of Aqueous Extracts from Medicinal Plants of Colombian Amazonia
(MDPI, 2012-05-04)
Diverse plants of ethnobotanic interest in Amazonia are commonly used in traditional medicine. We determined the antioxidant potential against lipid peroxidation, the antimicrobial activity, and the polyphenol composition ...
Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus reversal via implantation of magnetically purified microencapsulated pseudoislets
(Elsevier, 2019-02-10)
Microencapsulation of pancreatic islets for the treatment of Type I Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) generates a high quantity of empty microcapsules, resulting in high therapeutic graft volumes that can enhance the host’s immune ...
Extracellular matrix protein microarray-based biosensor with single cell resolution: Integrin profiling and characterization of cell-biomaterial interactions
(Elsevier, 2019-08-06)
In the search of biomaterials that promote cell adhesion, it is crucial to explore the integrin-substrate dynamic interactions given in a certain cell type to design successful biofunctionalization strategies. Here, we use ...
