Effect of Mild Alkali Treatment on the Structure and Physicochemical Properties of Normal and Waxy Rice Starches [PDF]
Mild alkali treatment can potentially be developed as a greener alternative to the traditional alkali treatment of starch, but the effect of mild alkali on starch is still understudied. Normal and waxy rice starches were subjected to mild alkali combined

Bioactivity of NANOZR Induced by Alkali Treatment [PDF]
In recent years, zirconia has been a recognized implant material in clinical dentistry. In the present study, we investigated the performance of an alkali-modified ceria-stabilized tetragonal ZrO2 polycrystalline ceramic-based nanostructured zirconia/alumina composite (NANOZR) implant by assessing surface morphology and composition, wettability, bovine
