4-Acylpyrazolones are important ligands in analytical chemistry and technologies used for the separation and concentration of various metals. We have proposed a novel method for obtaining a material that consists of covalently immobilized functionali...

Titanium dioxide (TiO₂) was added in different proportions as a filler to the mixture for the production of recycled rubber tiles in order to improve their existing properties. The mechanical properties of novel rubber tiles were analyzed in the cont...

The success of platinum-based chemotherapeutic drugs for clinical cancer treatments has inspired tremendous research efforts on developing new metallic anticancer agents with improved cytotoxic activity and reduced side effects. 2,2′;6′,2...

Due to its application as an anti-cancer drug, pazopanib (1) has attracted the interest of many researchers, and several studies on pazopanib synthesis have been reported over the years. This paper provides a novel route for synthesizing N,2,3-trimet...

A cubic pyrochlore with the composition Bi_1.865Co_1/2Fe_1/2Ta₂O_9+Δ (space group Fd-3m, a = 10.5013(8) Å) was synthesized from oxide precursors using solid-phase reactions. These ceramics are characterized by a porous microstructure formed b...

To clarify the adsorption behavior of fluorocarbon surfactants on PMMA surfaces, the contact angles of two nonionic fluorocarbon surfactants (FNS-1 and FNS-2) and an anionic fluorocarbon surfactant (FAS) on polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) surface were...

Glioblastoma (GBM) is a malignant cancer affecting the brain. As per the WHO classifications, it is a grade IV glioma and is characterized by heterogenous histopathology, high recurrence rates, and a high median age of diagnosis. Most individuals dia...

The reactions of the angular ligand 4,4′-oxybis(N-(pyridin-3-yl)benzamide) (L¹) and 1,4-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid (1,4-H₂NDC) with divalent metal salts yielded three distinct coordination polymers (CPs): {[Zn₂(L¹)(1,4-NDC)₂]·MeOH}_n, 1...

In recent years, transdermal drug delivery systems have gained considerable attention for their ability to enhance patient compliance and provide consistent drug release. However, the barrier function of the skin’s outermost layer remains the f...
