Phenytoin is an anticonvulsant drug that suffers from low aqueous solubility. The formation of phenytoin salts is a strategy employed to address this issue. A phenytoin–piperidine salt (PPD–PNT) was synthesized by solvent-assisted grinding and characterized by infrared (IR) spect...
Porous carbon-loaded MnO was prepared via a combination of the sol–gel method and the chemical blow molding method using polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and manganese nitrate as starting materials. SEM, EDX, TEM, FTIR, XRD, XPS, nitrogen adsorption–desorption, and elemental analysis w...
Modern agriculture relies heavily on the use of pesticides, with one-third of them being herbicides. Chloroacetamides are the most widely used herbicides because of their high effectiveness, but their extensive use poses environmental challenges and threatens the health of living...
DFT calculations at the B3LYP/aug-cc-pVDZ level of theory on some aromatic substrates showed that in the HOMO (Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital) of nitrobenzene, the atomic coefficients are not in agreement with the meta-directing behavior of this compound. The atomic coefficie...
Polyaniline (PANI) based thermoelectric materials have attracted much attention in flexible energy harvesting devices due to their unique molecular structure, excellent chemical stability, and low cost. However, the intrinsic thermoelectric performance of intrinsic PANI makes it...
Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is a pivotal material in engineering and biomedical applications due to its exceptional mechanical strength, wear resistance, and impact performance. However, its extreme melt viscosity, caused by extensive chain entanglements, se...
