SBA-15 and MCF mesoporous silicas were used as solid porous adsorbent for supporting a liquid commercial biocide, and the biocidal activity of the so-obtained loaded solids was checked after being incorporated in a waterborne ...

The use of mesoporous silica materials as new hosts for stabilizing isothiazolinone-based biocides was investigated. Two types of porous matrices were synthesized: SBA-15 mesoporous silica and mesocellular siliceous foam ...

Supercritical fluid extraction is an interesting alternative for the fractionation of essential oils, in order to obtain concentrates or compounds of interest. This technique requires information about the distribution of ...

The growth of fouling communities on ships' hulls causes economic losses due to increased fuel consumption and to the deterioration of the metallic substrate by corrosion. Antifouling paints are formulated to avoid the ...

In this work, glasses based on SiO-CaO-Na2O system containing different Nb2O5 contents were developed. Glasses were melted at 1500 °C and quenched in a metallic mould. Citotoxicity tests were performed using neutral red ...
