Resveratrol (Res) is a common phytoalexin present in a few edible materials, such as grape skin, peanuts, and red wine. Evidence has shown the beneficial effects of Res on human health, which may be attributed to its ...

The acetalization of acetone with glycerol was investigated using vanadium-impregnated catalysts. The siliceous supports FER, a purely microporous material, and ITQ-6, a micro/mesoporous material, were obtained from a ...

Lamellar systems composed of lipid bilayers have been widely used as model system for investigating properties of biological membranes, interactions between membranes and with biomolecules. The composition of the membrane ...

In this work, we analyzed the behavior of Pluronic F127 through molecular dynamics simulations at the coarse-grain level, focusing on the micellar and lamellar phases. To this aim, two initial polymer conformations were ...

Nanotubes grown on Ti and its alloys have been extensively investigated for the biomaterials applications, since these structures improve the surface biocompatibility and the corrosion resistance due to oxide formation. ...

Lamellar micaceous iron oxide paints are successfully employed to provide longlife corrosion protection for metallic structures when exposed to highly aggressive environments. The aim of this work was to formulate and ...
