Tracking Hydroplasticization by DSC: Movement of Water Domains Bound to Poly(Meth)Acrylates during Latex Film Formation
(MDPI, 2020-10-27)
The film formation step of latexes constitutes one of the challenges of these environmentally friendly waterborne polymers, as the high glass transition (TG) polymers needed to produce hard films to be used as coatings ...
Synthesis and Antiproliferative Activity of Phosphorus Substituted 4-Cyanooxazolines, 2-Aminocyanooxazolines, 2-Iminocyanooxazolidines and 2-Aminocyanothiazolines by Rearrangement of Cyanoaziridines
(MDPI, 2021-07-14)
Several phosphorus-substituted N-acylated cyanoaziridines 2 and N-carbamoylated cyanoziridines 5 were prepared in good to high yields. N-Acylated cyanoaziridines 2 were used, after ring expansion, in an efficient synthesis ...
A Dual-Sensor-Based Screening System for In Vitro Selection of TDP1 Inhibitors
(MDPI, 2021-07-15)
DNA sensors can be used as robust tools for high-throughput drug screening of small molecules with the potential to inhibit specific enzymes. As enzymes work in complex biological pathways, it is important to screen for ...
Subjective Well-Being and Parenthood in Chile
(MDPI, 2021-07-11)
Being a parent plays an important role in people’s life trajectory and identity. Though the general cultural perception is that having children is a source of subjective well-being, there is evidence that, at least in some ...
Integration of Sustainability in Engineering and Architectural Studies in Spanish Universities
(MDPI, 2021-07-19)
The recommendations of the UN and other international bodies on the need to transform university curricula to incorporate sustainability values, content and competencies have met with a warm reception from universities all ...
Predicted Torque Model in Low-Frequency-Assisted Boring (LFAB) Operations
(MDPI, 2021-06-24)
A low-frequency-assisted boring operation is a key cutting process in the aircraft manufacturing sector when drilling deep holes to avoid chip clogging based on chip breakage and, consequently, to reduce the temperature ...
Solvent-Based Elimination of Organic Matter from Marine-Collected Plastics
(MDPI, 2021-07-20)
The physical-chemical characterization of plastic litter from the marine environment requires the prior removal of the biofouling attached to their surface without causing any degradation in the polymer. The absence of a ...
On the pyrolysis of different microalgae species in a conical spouted bed reactor: Bio-fuel yields and characterization
(Elsevier B.V., 2020-05-20)
The aim of this work was to study fast pyrolysis of three microalgae species in a continuous bench-scale conical spouted bed reactor at 500 °C. Bio-gas, bio-oil and bio-char yields have been determined and characterized ...
Encapsulation of Oleuropein in Nanostructured Lipid Carriers: Biocompatibility and Antioxidant Efficacy in Lung Epithelial Cells
(MDPI, 2020-05-06)
Oxidative damage has been linked to a number of diseases. Oleuropein (OLE), a natural occurring polyphenol from olive leaves (Olea europaea L.), is known to be a potent antioxidant compound with inherent instability and ...
Mineralogical Characterization of Slags from the Oiola Site (Biscay, Spain) to Assess the Development in Bloomery Iron Smelting Technology from the Roman Period to the Middle Ages
(MDPI, 2020-04-03)
The Oiola archeological site, located in the mining complex of La Arboleda (Biscay, North Spain) was an important iron smelting center from the Roman Period to the Middle Ages and even in more current times (19th–20th ...
