Activated carbon as catalyst support: precursors, preparation, modification and characterization
The preparation of activated carbon materials is discussed along selected examples of precursor materials, of available production and modification methods and possible characterization techniques. We evaluate the preparation methods for activated carbon

Hydrogels as Drug Delivery Systems: A Review of Current Characterization and Evaluation Techniques
Owing to their tunable properties, controllable degradation, and ability to protect labile drugs, hydrogels are increasingly investigated as local drug delivery systems. However, a lack of standardized methodologies used to characterize and evaluate drug
