Properties of poly(binaphthoxyphosphazene)s were investigated employing molecular dynamics simulations in the original microcanonical ensemble. In particular we have applied our methodology to the case of isotactic ...

The aim of this work was to assess the role of mono- and oligosaccharides present in fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) mixtures as protective agents during freeze-drying and storage of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus ...

The physical and chemical properties of pectin extracts obtained from different white and pink/red varieties of grapefruit [Citrus paradisi (Macf.)], using both conventional heating (CHE) and thermosonication (TS), were ...

A glass matrix with nominal composition 50Li2O·45B2O3·5Al2O3 (mol%) was synthesized, and its physical properties were investigated by differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and atomic force microscopy ...

© 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Hydrogels are polymeric materials with numerous medical and biological applications because of their physicochemical properties. In this context, the conditions were defined for obtaining a ...

Galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) and lactulose are well-recognized prebiotics widely used in functional food and pharmaceutical products, but there is still a lack of knowledge regarding their physical–chemical properties. ...

The quest for a solution to Kauzmann’s Paradox has been a lifelong journey for many glass scientists over the last seventy years. The idea that this paradox may violate the Third Law of Thermodynamics is ...
