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

This paper explores the possibility of increasing the ballistic performance of gun propellant with the addition of inorganic additives viz. aluminium and ammonium perchlorate. Compositions based on propellant NQ containing additional aluminium and ammonium perchlorate in different parts were studied

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

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

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
