Morphological, thermal, and biodegradation properties of LLDPE/treated date palm waste composite buried in a soil environment

Journal of Saudi Chemical Society, 2019
In this study, date palm waste that was naturally treated as a filler in a linear-low density polyethylene (LLDPE) matrix was recycled to prepare green composites. Two types of LLDPE, based on basic additives, were used.

Successful Treatment of an MTBE-impacted Aquifer Using a Bioreactor Self-colonized by Native Aquifer Bacteria [PDF]

, 2013
A field-scale fixed bed bioreactor was used to successfully treat an MTBE-contaminated aquifer in North Hollywood, CA without requiring inoculation with introduced bacteria. Native bacteria from the MTBE-impacted aquifer rapidly colonized the bioreactor,

Thermally Degradable Biocompatible Hydrogel as Transient Encapsulation Coating for Implantable Sensors

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A biocompatible hydrogel coating with tissue‐like mechanics and reversible dissolution triggered by a mild, physiologically compatible temperature drop (≈37°C → ≈25°C) was developed for the transient encapsulation of implantable devices. The physically crosslinked methylcellulose, polyethylene glycol and polyacrilic acid (MC/PEG/PAA) hydrogel ...

Macrophage Extracellular Traps in Immunity and Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
As a macrophage‐mediated innate defense mechanism, the dysregulated release of METs drives chronic inflammation and influences tumor progression. Furthermore, METs exhibit a functional duality within the tumor microenvironment, capable of both promoting and suppressing tumor development.

Biodegradation of MC252 oil in oil:sand aggregates in a coastal headland beach environment

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014
Biodegradation potential of MC252 in oil:sand aggregates, termed surface residue balls (SRBs), was examined using multiple lines of evidence on a heavily-impacted coastal headland beach in Louisiana, USA.

Piperazine‐Functionalized Nanoparticles Enable Oral Insulin Delivery in Obese Mice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biologics have gained prominence as a rapidly advancing therapeutic modality for a diverse spectrum of medical conditions. Nonetheless, they are predominantly administered parenterally due to poor absorption through the gastrointestinal tract. Additionally, repeated injections of biologics such as insulin cause injection pain, leading to dose ...

Reclamation with Recovery of Radionuclides and Toxic Metals from Contaminated Materials, Soils, and Wastes [PDF]

, 1993
A process has been developed at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) for the removal of metals and radionuclides from contaminated materials, soils, and waste sites. In this process, citric acid, a naturally occurring organic complexing agent, is used to

Magnesium and magnesium alloys as degradable metallic biomaterials [PDF]

, 2008
Drawbacks associated with permanent metallic implants lead to the search for degradable metallic biomaterials. Magnesium has been considered as it is essential to bodies and has a high biodegradation potential.

Neutrophil‐Driven Cascade‐Targeted Nanocarriers Restore Mitochondrial Homeostasis to Ameliorate Renal Ischemia–Reperfusion Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A neutrophil‐mediated dual‐targeting liposome (NKN‐LNP) is developed to treat renal ischemia–reperfusion injury. The system enables spatiotemporally controlled delivery of NMN to injured tubules via MMP‐2/9 activation and KIM1 recognition, restoring mitochondrial function through NAD+‐SIRT3 signaling and preventing the transition from acute kidney ...
