Perchlorate is an anion known to interfere with normal production of thyroid hormones that are integrally involved in the development of the central nervous system and neurobehavioral capacities. Given the identification of drinking water contamination with perchlorate, there are efforts

Micrometer-sized cobalt oxalates with different morphologies have been prepared in the presence of surfactants. The effect of catalysts morphology on the thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate (AP) was evaluated by differential thermal analysis (DSC). Remarkably, contrary to the well-accepted concepts

Perchlorate is an environmental contaminant that blocks iodine uptake into the thyroid gland and reduces thyroid hormones. This action of perchlorate raises significant concern over its effects on brain development. The purpose of this study was to evaluate neurologic function
Perchlorate, a kind of inorganic chemical, is mainly used in defense industry and widely used in other civilian areas. It was well known that perchlorate exerts its thyrotoxicant effect on thyroid homeostasis via competitive inhibition of iodide uptake. However, some

We report on electrochemically prepared hydrogel layers of poly-N-isopropylacrylamide (pNIPAm) and on the influence that the supporting electrolyte has on their thickness and morphology. Ions that are destabilizing in the Hofmeister sense increase the thickness. The effect correlates well with
