Lignin solvation by ionic liquids: The role of cation
(Elsevier, 2020-01-30)
The use of ionic liquids as solvents for the processing of lignocellulosic material has received considerable attention in the last years, since it presents remarkable advantages over previous solvent-based procedures. In ...
Tuning the Affinity of Catechols and Salicylic Acids towards Al(III): Characterization of Al-Chelator Interactions
(2018-06-11)
Due to aluminum's controversial role in neurotoxicity, the goal of chelation therapy, the removal of the toxic metal ion or attenuation of its toxicity by transforming it into less toxic compounds, has attracted considerable ...
Does phosphorylation increase the binding affinity of aluminum? A computational study on the aluminum interaction with serine and O-phosphoserine
(2018-12-15)
Several toxic effects arise from aluminum's presence in living systems, one of these effects is to alter the natural role of enzymes and non-enzyme proteins. Aluminum promotes the hyperphosphorylation of normal proteins. ...
One pot stimuli-responsive linear waterborne polyurethanes via Diels-Alder reaction
(Elsevier, 2019-01-25)
Different strategies were used to obtain waterborne polyurethanes containing Diels-Alder moieties. In the first one (two pot), furan and maleimide end capped waterborne polyurethane dispersions were synthesized with the ...
