Single ZnO crystallites assembled into porous hierarchical structures have been prepared by topotactic thermal decomposition of in situ obtained zinc oxalate precursors, whose synthesis involves a redox reaction between 1,2-ethanediol and nitrate ion. For the first time it was demonstrated

This article describes a robust method for the facile synthesis of small Ag nanocubes with edge lengths controlled in the range of 18-32 nm. The success of this new method relies on the substitution of ethylene glycol (EG)--the solvent most

A method for the preparation of suspension culture microcapsules used in the bioprocessing of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) is reported. The microcapsules are prepared from a semi-synthetic hydrogel comprising Pluronic®F127 conjugated to denatured fibrinogen. The Pluronic-fibrinogen adducts display a
Ethylene glycol (EG) can be found in many agents, such as antifreeze. Ingestion of EG may cause serious poisoning. Adults are typically exposed when EG is ingested as a cheap substitute for ethanol or in suicide-attempts. Children may be exposed
Calcium phosphates (CaPs) are widely used as bone graft substitutes but are inherently brittle, hence restricting their use to mechanically protected environments. Combining them with a tough polymer matrix could potentially lead to a composite with load-bearing properties. However, the
