In the present research, the occurrence of contamination by microplastics in the water column was investigated in 15 sample sites along the rivers Guapimirim, Macacu and Maracanã—important rivers that flow into Guanabara Bay, a very poll...

Cellulose nanofibre (CNF) is the sustainable nanomaterial used for developing high-performance barrier materials that are renewable, recyclable, and biodegradable. The CNF film has very low oxygen permeability; however, its water vapor permeability i...

A sprout/polyaniline was synthesized via the chemical oxidative polymerization of aniline in the presence of natural sprout, based on a concept of cyborg plant composite. The composite consisted of both polyaniline and plants. The chemical structure...

Calcium phosphate nanoparticles are highly biocompatible and biodegradable in bone regeneration. On the other hand, strontium and magnesium enhance the formation of bone. The substitution of calcium by strontium and magnesium is an efficient way to i...

Using exfoliating agents is one of the most promising ways for large-scale production of liquid dispersed graphenic materials from graphite. Therefore, it is crucial to know the reason why some molecules have a larger exfoliating power than others. T...

Despite bone’s inherent ability to heal, large bone defects remain a major clinical concern. This study proposes an off-the-shelf treatment combining chitosan/hydroxyapatite (CS/HAp) scaffolds, covalently linked with either bone morphogenetic p...

In the present work, the intramolecular O-H···O hydrogen bonding in 3-hydroxy-1,3-diphenylprop-2-en-1-one (keto-enol form of dibenzoylmethane, DBM) was investigated. For this purpose, the Raman spectra of polycrystalline samples...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, affecting over 10 million people annually, with an estimated cost of $76.5 billion. Although apocynin freely transverses the blood–brain barrier (BBB), its appl...

This article presents a comprehensive vision of particularities and constraints of the Paja Formation in the Northern Andes of Colombia, supported by personal, institutional, and academic experiences, including a doctoral thesis in completion (geomor...
