Identifying and managing asbestiform minerals in geological collections [PDF]
Asbestos is widely recognised as a serious hazard, and its industrial use is now banned within the UK, and EU, and strict regulations govern the use of older manufactured materials which may contain asbestos.

Induction of IL-17 production from human peripheral blood CD4+ cells by asbestos exposure [PDF]
We have previously reported that chronic, recurrent and low-dose exposure to asbestos fibers causes a reduction in antitumor immunity. Investigation of natural killer (NK) cells using an in vitro cell line model and comprising in vitro activation using ...

Petrography of phosphates in CI and CY carbonaceous chondrites
Abstract Phosphate minerals are significant carriers of volatiles (e.g., OH) and halogens in chondritic material; however, their origin in most groups of carbonaceous chondrites remains poorly characterized. We have determined the abundance, morphology, texture, and composition of phosphate grains in aqueously altered CI chondrites and in hydrated and ...

Nanotubularchrysotile fillers for radiationand protective constructional composites
Strengthening of manifestation of quantum-dimensional effect in nanoparticles will make considerable impact on absorption of photon radiation. Therefore, application of ultradisperse systems will promote high-quality strengthening of radiation protective

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
