The clinical management of wounds is known to be a significant challenge: not only does the dressing need to ensure and provide the appropriate barrier and healing characteristics, but consideration of patient compliance concerning comfort, functiona...

Turmeric extract (TE)-loaded oleogels (TE-OG) was fabricated by an emulsion template technique using xanthan gum (XG) and soy lecithin (SL) as oleogelators. The formulation for TE-OG was optimized using 0.32% XG, 1.2% SL, and 1.0% TE. The optimized T...

This article portrays solid xerogel-type materials, based on chitosan, TEGylated phenothiazine, and TEG (tri-ethylene glycol), dotted with a large number of pores, that are effectively represented in their constitutive structure. They were assumed to...

A supercapacitor is an electrical energy storage system with high power output. With worldwide awareness of sustainable development, developing cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and high-performance supercapacitors is an important research di...

The removal of pharmaceutical residues from water resources using bio-based materials is very important for human safety and health. Bio-based graphene oxide/chitosan (GO/CS) aerogel microspheres were fabricated with emulsification and cross-linking,...

“Gel-type” soft and stretchable magneto-mechanical composites made of silicone rubber and iron particles are in focus because of their high magnetic sensitivity, and intelligence perspective. The “intelligence” mentioned here...

The purpose of this study was to prepare a novel kind of flaxseed oil (FO)/beeswax oleogel system and apply it to improve the properties of sodium alginate films. Three single factors, namely the ratio of beeswax/FO, the addition of oleogel, and the...

Budesonide is a mineral corticoid applied in the local therapy of pediatric atopic dermatitis. Unfortunately, its dermal administration is hindered by the concomitant adverse effects and its physicochemical properties. The characteristic pH change in...

Antibiotics are used for the well-being of human beings and other animals. Detectable levels of antibiotics can be found in pharmaceutical, municipal, and animal effluents. Therefore, the treatment of antibiotic contaminated water is of great concern...

Carbon nanotube–glue composite gel-based surface-type elastic sensors with a cylindrical shape deformable (flexible) metallic body were fabricated for tactile pressure and compressive displacement sensing. The fabrication of the sensors was per...
