Effect of trace metal Ions on the conformational stability of the visual photoreceptor rhodopsin
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023-07-01)
Article
Open AccessTrace metals are essential elements that play key roles in a number of biochemical processes governing human visual physiology in health and disease. Several trace metals, such as zinc, have been shown to play important ... -
Integration of ion exchange resins and membrane technology for purification of boron from seawater desalination brines
(Elsevier BV, 2023-05)
Article
Open AccessBoron is considered a critical raw material (CRM) to the European Union (EU) due to its economic importance and supply risk. To ensure the sustainable supply of boron and other CRMs to EU industry in a circular economy ... -
Green approaches in rubber recycling technologies: present status and future perspective
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2023-06-05)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyAs a consequence of massive production and consumption of rubbers, rubber blends, and rubber composites for myriad applications, elastomeric products have enormously accumulated and become an environmental threat. The ... -
Operando high-pressure investigation of size-controlled CuZn catalysts for the methanol synthesis reaction
(2021-03-04)
Article
Open AccessAlthough Cu/ZnO-based catalysts have been long used for the hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol, open questions still remain regarding the role and the dynamic nature of the active sites formed at the metal-oxide interface. ... -

Chlorine resistance property improvement of polyamide reverse osmosis membranes through cross-linking degree increment
(Elsevier, 2023-09-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyHighly permeable polyamide reverse osmosis (RO) membranes are desirable for reducing the energy burden and ensuring future water resources in arid and semiarid regions. One notable drawback of thin film composite (TFC) ... -
Mechanical properties of smart polypropylene meshes: effects of mesh architecture, plasma treatment, thermosensitive coating, and sterilization process
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2023-05-26)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policySmart polypropylene (PP) hernia meshes were proposed to detect surgical infections and to regulate cell attachment-modulated properties. For this purpose, lightweight and midweight meshes were modified by applying a plasma ... -
Shape-dependent CO2 hydrogenation to methanol over Cu2O nanocubes supported on ZnO
(2023-02-08)
Article
Open AccessThe hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol over Cu/ZnO-based catalysts is highly sensitive to the surface composition and catalyst structure. Thus, its optimization requires a deep understanding of the influence of the pre-catalyst ... -
