Understanding the molecular interactions in liquids or liquid mixtures of binary or ternary liquids is crucial for various applications. Numerous methods and tools exist to elucidate how atoms interact in such mixtures. This review examines multiple research papers investigating molecular interactions, focusing on the acoustic/ultrasonic technique. This technique employs ultrasonic waves to probe molecular interactions. Re Read More

Background: Polysaccharides have recently attracted a lot of attention in the designing of drug delivery systems due to their wide availability, lack of toxicity, and numerous ways that their nature, structure, and functionality can be altered. Methods: Microwave-assisted synthesis of graft copolymer of tragacanth (TRA) is done with polyacrylamide (PAM) by free radical polymerization using ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) as Read More

Aims: Microwave assisted Groebke-Blackburn-Bienayme multicomponent reaction to synthesis imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-furan hybrids as anticancer agents. Background: Microwave synthesis has emerged as a potent tool for the more economical and environmental friendly synthesis of organic compounds, such as derivatives of imidazo[1,2- a]pyridine. Compared to traditional synthesis, microwave radiation causes molecules to Read More

This study is focused on the enhancement of the intrinsic electrocatalytic activity of Pt nanoparticles supported on C (Pt/C NPs) towards Oxygen Reduction Reaction (ORR) in acidic media. The goal was to investigate the effect of microwave-assisted synthesis on the electrocatalytic performance of Pt/C NPs towards ORR. Thus, Pt/C NPs were synthesized using a microwave-assisted method and by a conventional heati Read More

Microwave-assisted synthesis has faced challenges in implementing its use at the industrial level in recent decades, including scaling up the processes. While microwave-assisted synthesis is established on a laboratory scale, there are some drawbacks associated with it, including the equipment and operational costs of the specialized microwave reactors, safety concerns due to high temperatures and pressures, reacti Read More
