Over decades of development, the modern drug delivery system continues to grapple with
numerous challenges, including drug loading inefficiencies, issues of immunogenicity, and …

Unicellular diatom microalgae are a promising natural resource of porous biosilica. These
microorganisms produce around their membrane a highly porous and extremely structured …

To optimize the highly stacked, lamellar covalent organic frameworks (COF) with more easily
accessible micropores for molecular separations, a facile and economical strategy, using the …

Systemic toxicity and severe side effects are commonly associated with anticancer
chemotherapies. New strategies based on enhanced drug selectivity and targeted delivery …

Unmodified natural silicates (bentonite, kaolin, clinoptilolite and diatomites) were tested as
adsorbents for the organic pollutants in water tables using Methylene Blue (MB) as the …

The mining industry of Poland is based mostly on coal and copper ores. Strict carbon
emissions and the depletion of deposits will slowly phase out coal. Therefore, metallic ores …

The present study involved the functionalization of diatomite's bio-siliceous frustules with
polymeric chains of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD/Di) to serve as advanced delivery structures for the …

Siliceous diatom frustules represent an up-and-coming platform for a range of bio-assisted
nanofabrication processes able to overcome the complexity and high cost of current …

The pursuit of new nanotechnologies is driven by the demand for miniaturization, ubiquitous
computing, increasing connectivity and the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm, the …

The current work involves the modification of diatomite's biosiliceous frustules employing
chitosan polymer chains (CS/Di) to serve as low-cost, biocompatible, multifunctional, and …
