Clay-Mineral-Coated Separators for Lithium-Ion Batteries: Exploring the Relationships between Clay Mineral Morphology and Separator Performance. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)This review examines how coating Li‐ion battery separators with 1D, 2D, and 3D structured natural clay minerals influences their electrochemical and mechanical performance. It classifies 15 types of clay minerals and highlights structure–property correlations to offer practical design strategies for high‐performance separators in next‐generation energy

The fate of chrysotile-induced multipolar mitosis and aneuploid population in cultured lung cancer cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Chrysotile is one of the six types of asbestos, and it is the only one that can still be commercialized in many countries. Exposure to other types of asbestos has been associated with serious diseases, such as lung carcinomas and pleural mesotheliomas ...

Insights on the deep carbon cycle from the electrical conductivity of carbon-bearing aqueous fluids
Scientific Reports, 2021 The dehydration and decarbonation in the subducting slab are intricately related and the knowledge of the physical properties of the resulting C–H–O fluid is crucial to interpret the petrological, geochemical, and geophysical processes associated with ...

Environmental Health Perspectives, 1974 The problems of quantitating chrysotile in water by fiber count techniques are reviewed briefly and the use of mass quantitation is suggested as a preferable measure. Chrysotile fiber has been found in almost every sample of natural water examined, but generally transmission electron miscroscopy (TEM) is required because of the small diameters involved.

Interactions of asbestos-activated macrophages with an experimental fibrosarcoma [PDF]
, 1983 Supernatants from in vivo asbestos-activated macrophages failed to show any cytostatic activity against a syngeneic fibrosarcoma cell line in vitro. UICC chrysotile-induced peritoneal exudate cells also failed to demonstrate any growth inhibitory effect ...
