This work describes the production and characterization of a selective membrane useful for electronic devices. The membrane was a composite made by a thin film of plasma-polymerized HFE (methyl nonafluoro(iso)butyl ether) ...

An important step in several bioanalytical applications is the immobilization of biomolecules. Accordingly, this procedure must be carefully chosen to preserve their biological structure and fully explore their properties. ...

The wide use of pesticides in agriculture makes necessary the development of cost-effective, easy, and rapid methods aiming for environmental and health protection. We propose the fabrication and investigation of layer-by-layer ...

This study deals with the physicochemical characterization of powdered chia oil microparticles produced from mono and bi-layered emulsions using modified sunflower lecithins (Deoiled (DL); Phosphatidylcholine-enriched ...

Excessive UV solar radiation exposure causes human health risks; therefore, the study of multifunctional filters is important to skin UV protective ability and also to other beneficial activities to the human organism, ...

The omega-3 and omega-6fatty acids (FAs) are essential in human health. The occidental diets are characterized by the imbalance between these two types of FAs, with a deficiency of omega-3 FAs, which are associated with ...

This research studied the bio-protection mechanism based on chemical gradients in diffusive exchange permeable reactive barriers, evaluating the thickness of the reactive layers in the treatment of concentrated acid mine ...
