The effect of crude oil and chemical dispersant on sinking rates of Gulf of Mexico diatoms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In the open and coastal ocean, primary productivity is derived largely from phytoplankton. Diatoms are a major group of phytoplankton that account for almost half of all oceanic primary production.

Low‐Profile, High‐Gain GRIN RF Lenses via Multi‐Material Vat Photopolymerization

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We investigate the opportunity of leveraging multi‐material vat photopolymerization printing to manufacture intricate lenses exhibiting permittivity gradients that can increase signal gain in transmitted radiofrequency signals in the X‐ and Ku‐bands. Lenses produced with more distinct low‐loss materials (up to 5) can deliver an 18 dB signal gain with a

The Effects of Crude Oil and Chemical Dispersant Exposure on Danio rerio (zebrafish) Embryonic Development

open access: yes, 2023
Crude oil has been shown to cause defects in cardiovascular development in a variety of teleost species. We used the zebrafish, Danio rerio as a model to test the effects of oil and dispersant on cardiac development and function during early ...

Bacteria‐Responsive Nanostructured Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Antimicrobial Therapy

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bacteria‐responsive nanocarriers are designed to release antimicrobials only in the presence of infection‐specific cues. This selective activation ensures drug release precisely at the site of infection, avoiding premature or indiscriminate release, and enhancing efficacy.

The Formulation, Development and Application of Oil Dispersants

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
Oil spills in open waters pose a significant threat to marine life. The application of dispersant as an oil-spill response is a promising approach to minimize the environmental burden caused by these accidental events.

Water Permeates and Plasticizes Amorphous Carbon Dots: Unraveling the Inner Accessibility of the Nanoparticles by Glass Transition Studies

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
The water permeability of amorphous carbon dots (CDs) is demonstrated by investigating their plasticization. Novel polyamide‐based and amorphous nanoparticles are synthesized by controlling their inner packing density. Water plasticization is evidenced by the decrease of the CDs glass transition temperature with increasing the hydration degree.

Comparative Proteomics of Marinobacter sp. TT1 Reveals Corexit Impacts on Hydrocarbon Metabolism, Chemotactic Motility, and Biofilm Formation

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2020
The application of chemical dispersants during marine oil spills can affect the community composition and activity of marine microorganisms. Several studies have indicated that certain marine hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria, such as Marinobacter spp., can

CHEMICAL STUDIES ON THE DISPERSING AGENTS OF FIBERS (I)

open access: yesSen'i Gakkaishi, 1962
Poly (ethyl acrylate) of which molecular weight is about 100, 000 was hydrolyzed to controlled degrees with potassium hydroxide to produce compounds containing 70%, 80% and 90% carboxylate groups. Using these three water-soluble polymers as dispersing agents, sedimentation of pulp fibers in aqueous solution was investigated.At the more than about 0.016%
