Honeycomb polyaniline-dodecyl benzene sulfonic acid (hPANI-DBSA)/sulfur as a new cathode for high performance Li–S batteries 10.1016/j.jtice.2018.03.004 2018-03-21 In the last few years, there has been a growing interest in lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries due to their high theoretical capacity of 1672 mAh/g, long life cycle, and low cost. However, Li–S batteries have been plagued with fast capacity loss and dissolution ...
Impingement of Triton X-100 solution drops on paraffin film–Relaxation of surface dilational rate 10.1016/j.jtice.2018.02.016 2018-03-19 The impact dynamics of a solution drop of Triton X-100 impinging on a paraffin film was studied, specifically to develop a new method for evaluating the in situ surface dilational rate, λ. The drop images (side and top views) during the impingement process we...

Polyion complexation in solution, at interface and on surface: Legacy for layer-by-layer assembly ☆ 10.1016/j.jtice.2018.02.008 2018-03-19 This short review describes the history of scientific development of layer-by-layer assembly of charged polymers. Early studies of 1960s and 1970s include binding and complex formation of oppositely charged polymers and colloids. The subsequent studies in 198...
Study of 'co-solvent effect' on production of biodiesel from Schleichera Oleosa oil using a mixed metal oxide as a potential catalyst 10.1016/j.jtice.2018.01.029 2018-03-16 In this study, biodiesel was prepared from a non edible feedstock using two step process followed by heterogeneous base catalyzed transesterification reaction. A novel solid heterogeneous base catalyst (strontium lanthanum mixed metal oxide) was synthesized v...
Optimization and up scaling of ionic liquid tolerant and thermo-alkali stable laccase from a marine Staphylococcus arlettae S1-20 using tea waste 10.1016/j.jtice.2018.02.032 2018-03-13 Laccase are versatile oxidoreductase enzyme having a capability of degrading variety of phenolic and non phenolic compounds. Therefore, in this work cost effective process is developed for the higher production of extracellular, thermo-alkali stable laccase (...
Effects of high turbidity seawater on removal of boron and transparent exopolymer particles by chemical oxo-precipitation 10.1016/j.jtice.2018.02.012 2018-03-13 Boron and transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) in seawater presented two hurdles in desalination as the former can pass through reverse osmosis easily and the latter can induce membrane biofouling. Chemical oxo-precipitation (COP) was evaluated and its feas...
Facile fabrication of carboxyl groups modified fluorescent C60 through a one-step thiol-ene click reaction and their potential applications for biological imaging and intracellular drug delivery 10.1016/j.jtice.2018.02.004 2018-03-13 Recently, fullerene (C60) and its derivatives have attracted tremendous research interest in diverse fields owing to their excellent fluorescence and biological properties. In this work, the carboxyl groups containing fluorescent C60
Preparation and evaluation of magnetic core–shell mesoporous molecularly imprinted polymers for selective adsorption of amitriptyline in biological samples 10.1016/j.jtice.2018.02.031 2018-03-12 In this study, preparation of magnetic surface molecular imprinted polymer (MMIP) is employed for sensitive solid phase extraction and measurement of amitriptyline (AMT) by spectrophotometric technique. After polymerization, cavities in the polymer particles ...
The effect of NO pre-oxidizing in a temperature-swing-adsorption system for diesel NOx aftertreatment—Mechanisms to enhance its performance 10.1016/j.jtice.2018.02.029 2018-03-09 Adsorption/desorption tests and infrared (IR) absorption analysis, using simulated gas mixtures, were conducted. The adsorbent used was a Mn–Cu mixed oxide. For the adsorption/desorption test, gas mixtures composed of NO, NO2, O2, and H2O, balanced with N2, w...
