This study investigates the application of dynamic maceration for castor oil extraction, demonstrating that solvent polarity and higher temperatures significantly improve yield while validating three mathematical models for process optimization and scale-up.
This study demonstrates that different tablet crushing methods significantly alter the solid-state properties, particle characteristics, and dissolution behavior of acetaminophen tablets, with oscillatory ball milling causing the most substantial crystallinity reduction and tablet crushing yielding the finest particles and fastest dissolution despite potential aggregation issues from excessive grinding.
This study compares the elastic properties of carbon fiber composites manufactured via vacuum infusion and prepreg pressing, finding that while theoretical predictions based on Voigt, Halpin-Tsai, and classical laminate theory models align well with experimental bending results, they show significant discrepancies in compression tests.
This study investigates the efficiency of pressure-driven filtration using mixed cellulose ester and nylon membranes in removing elevated iron and aluminium concentrations from the LVR-15 reactor's storage pool water under varying pH conditions to evaluate colloid formation and separation performance.
This study demonstrates that polymer welds exhibiting intermolecular diffusion, achieved through nominal welding settings, possess significantly higher fatigue resistance—failing up to 37 times more cycles—compared to welds lacking such diffusion.
This paper reports a serendipitously discovered 3,6-dichloro-1,2,4,5-tetrazine-mediated cascade reaction that enables the one-pot, exponential expansion of linear peptide libraries into diverse bicyclic architectures through selective cyclodimerization, offering a versatile platform for next-generation peptide drug discovery and functionalization.
This study introduces ChemPointNet, a novel 3D geometric deep learning framework that successfully identified and validated 17 highly active EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors from the SPECS library through an integrated workflow of virtual screening, molecular docking, enzymatic assays, and molecular dynamics simulations.
This study reports the fabrication of a three-dimensional α-MnO₂/Mn₃O₄ heterostructure via calcination-induced phase transformation, which enhances zinc-ion storage performance through lattice expansion, increased oxygen vacancies, and a reversible dual-mode charge storage mechanism, resulting in superior specific capacity and cycling stability compared to pristine α-MnO₂.
This study demonstrates that optimizing the incorporation of graphene oxide and titanium dioxide into thin-film nanocomposite membranes significantly enhances their performance, achieving high water flux, superior antibiotic rejection (96% for amoxicillin and 94% for ciprofloxacin), and effective photocatalytic degradation (83%) for wastewater treatment.
This study demonstrates that minimally processed raw sugarcane bagasse hydrochar electrodes significantly outperform commercial carbon nanotubes in microbial fuel cell power generation, offering a cost-effective, high-performance, and scalable circular-economy solution for bioelectrochemical systems.
