Recent patents on nanotechnology, 6(3), 218-230 (2012-07-04)
This review treats the recent patents and related literature, mainly from the Authors laboratories, on biomedical and food packaging applications of nano-composites constituted of biodegradable polymers filled with micro or nano crystals of organically modified Layered Double Hydroxides of Hydrotalcite
In this paper the mechanical reinforcement of nano-sized brucite, Mg(OH)(2) in a series of bionanocomposite films based on starch was investigated. Brucite nanoplates with an aspect ratio of 9.25 were synthesized by wet precipitation and incorporated into starch matrices at
Here we reported the antibacterial effect and related mechanism of three nano-Mg(OH)(2) slurries using Escherichia coli as model bacteria. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and laser particle size analysis revealed that the as-synthesized Mg(OH)(2)_(MgCl2), Mg(OH)(2)_(MgSO4) and Mg(OH)(2)_(MgO) are

This article updates current views on gastric mucosal defense, injury, protection and ulcer healing with a focus on mucosal protective and ulcer healing actions of antacids. The gastric mucosa is continuously exposed to a variety of noxious factors, both endogenous
We report a dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (LLME) method using surface modified Mg(OH)(2) nanoparticles (NPs) with oleic acid (OA) as hydrophobic affinity probes for the extraction and preconcentration of hydrophobic biomolecules prior to MALDI MS analysis. OA-capped Mg(OH)(2) NPs were characterized
