Nanomaterials are finding increasing use for biomedical applications such as imaging,
diagnostics, and drug delivery. While it is well understood that nanoparticle (NP) physico …

Flocculation is an essential phenomenon in industrial wastewater treatment. Inorganic
coagulants (salts of multivalent metals) are being commonly used due to its low cost and …

Standard transmission electron microscopy nanoparticle sample preparation generally
requires the complete removal of the suspending liquid. Drying often introduces artifacts …

The present work aims at reviewing our current understanding of fractal structures in the
frame of colloid aggregation as well as the possibility they offer to produce novel structured …

Flotation process is the most common beneficiation method of almost all types of minerals.
The desirable result of the process is dependent on various factors. One of the most effective …

Flocs generated by various coagulation mechanisms exhibit different size, strength and
structure. The properties and fractal dimensions of flocs formed under three common …

Some of the most popular cellulose derivatives exhibit charged functional groups, either
cationic (generally, quaternary ammonium moieties) or anionic (most typically, carboxylate …

A simulated in vitro digestion model was used to elucidate the impact of dietary fibers on the
digestion rate of emulsified lipids. The influence of polysaccharide type (chitosan (cationic) …

The coagulation/flocculation (C/F) processes are mainly due to charge neutralisation (CN)
and sweep flocculation (SF) mechanisms. However, the SF mechanism has also its CN …

Plastic pollution caused by conventional plastics has promoted the development and use of
biodegradable plastics. However, biodegradable plastics do not degrade readily in water; …
