Mechanical compression to characterize the robustness of liquid marbles [PDF]
In this work, we have devised a new approach to measure the critical pressure that a liquid marble can withstand. A liquid marble is gradually squeezed under a mechanical compression applied by two parallel plates.

Determination Method for Sodium Alginate in Foods
An analytical method for the determination of sodium alginate in various foods was developed. Pectin and protein were removed from foods with 1.5mol/L sulfuric acid and 1mol/L magnesium sulfate-2.2mol/L sodium sulfate solution. Pectic substances in foods were removed as a precipitate with 1% sodium hydrogen carbonate solution.

Morphology and magnetic properties of Fe3O4-alginic acid nanocomposites [PDF]
Morphology, structure and magnetic properties of nanocomposites of magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles and alginic acid (AA) are studied. Magnetite Fe3O4 nanoparticles and the nanoparticles capped with alginic acid exhibit very distinct properties. The chemical bonding between alginic acid and surface of magnetite nanoparticles results in recovery of ...

Sodium Pentazolate: a Nitrogen Rich High Energy Density Material [PDF]
Sodium pentazolates NaN5 andNa2N5, new high energy density materials, are discovered during first principles crystal structure search for the compounds of varying amounts of elemental sodium and nitrogen. The pentazole anion N5- is stabilized in the condensed phase by sodium Na+ cations at pressures exceeding 20 GPa, and becomes metastable upon release

Improvement of fire reaction and mould growth resistance of a new bio-based thermal insulation material [PDF]
In the present paper, the performance of an innovative thermal insulation rigid board is evaluated in terms of fire behaviour and fungal resistance. The board is based on vegetal pith and a natural gum (corn pith and sodium alginate) and it is completely

State‐of‐the‐Art, Insights, and Perspectives for MOFs‐Nanocomposites and MOF‐Derived (Nano)Materials
Different approaches to MOF‐NP composite formation, such as ship‐in‐a‐bottle, bottle‐around‐the‐ship and in situ one‐step synthesis, are used. Owing to synergistic effects, the advantageous features of the components of the composites are beneficially combined, and their individual drawbacks are mitigated.
