Infertility in men is more than 50% of cases and the real cause of infertility cannot be determined by various factors and lack of technology. Infertility in males is a rising health concern across the globe affecting around 7 percent of the total male population in the world. Various risk factors are associated with several diseases’ outcomes and those involved have been shown to cause infertility with male background d Read More

Colloidal crystal (CC) fiber has unique light manipulation properties, fiber flexibility, and the potential to be used in the textile industry as an alternative to chemical dyes. Introducing polyamide 66 (PA66) into CC fiber can effectively improve the performance of fibers. In this study, polyamide 66 (PA66) CC fibers with various morphologies were fabricated by electrospinning using high-tensile PA66 and P(St-MMA-AA) l Read More

Background: Extruded cereals and snacks are mainly carbohydrates. Most adults require more protein above RDA by restricting carbohydrates for many health benefits. A wide variety of soy protein-rich extrudates can be produced by blending with rice flour. However, optimum extrusion processing variables (i.e., screw speed, die temperature, and product formulations) are required for maximum retention of nutrients wit Read More

Background: Formaldehyde (HCHO) is one of the sources of indoor air pollution and a recognized carcinogenic gas, which sets a huge threat to human health. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a formaldehyde gas sensor with high efficiency, low consumption, and low limit of detection. Methods: With solvothermal and supramolecular assembly methods, we fabricate a nanocomposite of ZnO/5-aminonaphthalene-1-sulfo Read More

Background: Polymeric hollow particles with a single-hole structure have attracted broad interest due to their combined advantages of a hollow cavity and an opening hole in the shell. Aim: In the past decades, much progress has been made in the fabrication of such particles with various strategies. However, there is a lack of research on the easy fabrication of biodegradable polylactide (PLA) single hole particles (PLA SHH Read More

Recently, two-dimensional (2D) materials have gained immense attention, as they are promising in various application fields, such as energy storage, thermal management, photodetectors, catalysis, field-effect transistors, and photovoltaic modules. These merits of 2D materials are attributed to their unique structure and properties. Chirality is an intrinsic property of a substance, which means the substance can not o Read More

For the first time, we have developed a strategy that provides an access to imidazo[ 1,2-a] pyridines via the cyclization of 2-aminopyridine with mucobromic acid as C3 synthon. In the combination with theoretical calculation, the reaction mechanism is proposed. Background: 2-Aminopyridines are the typical pyridine α-site derivatives, which have received growing interest in using as a kind of synthons in organic Read More
