Rapid Detection of Plasticizer Migration From UV-Aged PVC Films by DART-HRMS. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Rationale The migration of phthalate plasticizers from high‐volume polymers, such as poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), raises significant toxicological concerns, particularly when materials are subjected to aging and environmental stress. As traditional monitoring techniques rely on time‐consuming solvent extraction and chromatographic methods that ...

Nanoshell Fabrication Techniques for Probiotic Encapsulation: A Comprehensive Review
ABSTRACT Probiotics, beneficial microorganisms, confer numerous health benefits when administered. However, their efficacy is hindered by harsh gut conditions, including acidity, bile acids, and enzymatic degradation. To overcome these challenges, encapsulation and nanoshell technology have emerged as a pivotal strategy to enhance probiotic stability ...
