Polymers are supermolecules or huge molecules that have a central role as an excipient in any dosage formulation. Currently, the usage of polymers in drug formulation is often associated with numerous problems connected with drug release, side effects, and carcinogenic effects. Therefore, the utilization of water-soluble polymers and polymeric nanoparticles has been favoured to minimize these types of problems Read More

BackgroundRice husk is an important agricultural waste that contains organic mass and bio-silica. Although some rice husks have been used as fuel, animal food, filler for wine fermentation, and fertilizer, the majority are discarded as agricultural waste, which does great harm to the environment. The conversion of rice husk to silicon carbide (SiC)-based materials satisfies the demand for the reutilization of solid waste Read More

BackgroundHeavy metal contamination of food and the environment is a major concern worldwide. Conventional detection techniques like atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) have limitations including high costs and insufficient sensitivity. Electrochemical sensors based on carbon nanom Read More

Cancer, claiming approximately 10 million lives annually, remains a leading cause of global mortality. Conventional cancer treatments, notably chemotherapy and radiotherapy, often entail adverse effects, such as cytotoxicity and the development of resistance, posing significant challenges in cancer management. While natural products have historically served medicinal purposes for various ailments, their recent prominenc Read More

The pharmaceutical sciences are gradually shielding mankind from a plethora of deadly but as-of-yet-undiscovered ailments. Many diseases, some of which can be fatal, have their initial line of defence on the skin. A significant challenge for scientists is the development of appropriate pharmacological formulations for transdermal drug administration. Low side effect risk reduces first-pass impact, and good patient com Read More

Psoriasis is a non-contagious, continuing, auto-immune disease that mostly affects the skin, and about 2%-3% of the world's population suffers from it. In this review article, the primary focus is on the strategies involved in conventional therapies and the latest advances that have been recorded in metallic nano, polymer-based, and lipid-based formulations in the spectrum of anti-psoriatic drugs. Liposomes, ethosomes, solid lipid Read More

IntroductionElectrochemical oxidation of Alizarin Yellow R (AYR) was investigated on Ytterbium (Yb) doped Ti/PbO2 electrodes prepared by an electrodeposition method.MethodsThe etching of the Ti sheet by using a mixed acid of H2SO4 and TA (volume ratio= 2: 1) for 50 min at 100°C could produce a suitable interface for further modification. The morphologies, composition, and electrochemical properties of Yb doping Read More

AimsThe aim of this study was to synthesize two positively charged surfactants Stearoylcholine and Oleoylcholine from choline or vitamin B4, saturated and mono-unsaturated fatty acids to modify solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) in order to enhance cancer cell uptake.MethodsThese surfactants were synthesized by using the esterification method and then SLN formulations of unmodified and modified SLNs containing Read More

BackgroundCarbon nanotube films are utilized in various fields, particularly electric heating, owing to their exceptional thermal and electrical properties. However, quantitative research on the electrothermal characteristics of carbon nanotube film is insufficient, and glass fiber-reinforced epoxy-resin composites prepared through the electrothermal method of carbon nanotube films (i.e., the out-of-autoclave technique) ha Read More
