Microcapsules containing a reactive two-component adhesive can simplify bonding processes in industry and assembly while ...

Polymersomes are nanometric vesicles that can encapsulate large and hydrophilic biomolecules, such as proteins, in the aqueous core. Data in literature show large variation in encapsulation efficiency ...

A walk down the supermarket’s or big-box store’s laundry products aisle reveals several liquid detergents touting “bleach alternative.” One of them, Tide Plus Bleach Alternative HE Liquid, was in 2017 ...

In this work, an olive oil-filled composite capsule (C-O/W) adsorbent was prepared for the adsorption of 3,4,5-trichlorophenol (3,4,5-TCP) by the emulsion templating method. Using methylene ...

Biodiesel is considered a potential substitute for fossil diesel because of its unique environmentally friendly and renewable advantages. The efficient and durable heterogeneous catalysts are vital to ...

Corrosion inhibitors loaded in coatings promote the protection performance of coatings, avoid the local corrosion of metal substrates, and endow the self-healing properties of the coatings. The ...

Organization into cells is believed to have been crucial for the emergence of life, as the cell membrane would prevent loss of biochemical contents and define an evolutionary entity. RNA is a ...

We demonstrate a versatile method to encapsulate calcium carbonate particles with a shell of polymer by means of a conventional free radical emulsion polymerization process. Our strategy relies on the ...

The encapsulation of amines by emulsification and interfacial polymerization is important for smart adhesives and self-healing materials but has been challenging because of the reactive nature of ...
