Two different mesogenic units, namely biphenyl and azobenzene, were installed centrally within the polymer backbone and pendant alkylene segments; the purpose was to examine if chain folding of the backbone occurs so as ...

The structural and electronic properties of several nitrogen-doped fullerenes, C60−2nN2n (n = 1–12), have been studied using density functional theory (DFT) at the M06L/6-311+G(d)//M06L/6-31G(d) level. The electronic ...

Plant-based proteins are gaining a lot of attention for their healthbenefits and are considered as an alternative to animal proteins for developingsustainable food systems. Against the backdrop, ensuring a healthy diet ...

The redox regulator glutathione (GSH) migrates to the nucleus to give a safeguard to DNA replication in the S-phase. The fluctuation of GSH dynamics in the cell cycle process may help to understand cancerogenesis or other ...

Stable drug-type tablets and capsules are painful to drink or chew for many pediatric and geriatric patients. Accurate dosing is also an issue for liquid orals (syrup, suspension, emulsion, and so on). Several fast-dissolving ...

Tropical fruit wastes (TFW) are considered as the major source of food and nutrition in the topical countries. In the recent years, modernization of agriculture has increased the tropical fruit production. Higher fruit ...

Morphologically engineered porous electrodes show great promise in energy applications as they exhibit improved electrochemical activity owing to increased electrical conductivity, increased surface area, and a shorter ...

The demand for biodegradable polymer-based aerogels with superior comprehensive properties has escalated in various fields of application, such as packaging, tissue engineering, thermal insulation, acoustic insulation, ...
