The main objective was to evaluate the use of common bean flour (CBF), corn flour, and semolina to obtain instant noodles by means of a hot dry and frying process. The hot drying process was conducted at 60 °C for 4 h, and frying was conducted at...

Asphalt binders in pavements lose their stability through aging and eventually fail in the field. Using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to monitor the primary longitudinal relaxation time of asphalt samples and the ratio of material that carries thi...

The partition coefficients of seven low molecular weight compounds were tested in different aqueous two-phase systems. The ionic composition of each system included specific salt additives, and it was found that there is a linear relationship between...

Tutton salts form an isomorphic crystallographic family that has been intensively investigated in recent decades due to their attractive thermal and optical properties. In this work, we report four mixed Tutton crystals (obtained by the slow solvent...

One of the most important challenges in polymer science is a rigorous understanding of the molecular mechanisms of rubber elasticity by relating macroscopic deformation to molecular changes and deriving the constitutive stress–strain equation f...

Asphalt pavements make up a majority of the essential transportation systems in the US. Asphalt mixtures age and degrade over time, reducing the pavement performance. Pavement performance critically depends on the aging of asphalt binder. The aging o...

The design of an antimicrobial coating material has become important in the prevention of infections caused by the transmission of pathogens coming from human contact with contaminated surfaces. With that aim, layered single hydroxides (LSHs) and lay...

In this study, a steady-state thermodynamic equilibrium evaluation of CO₂ methanation was conducted. Calculations were performed by solving the material balance equations using the equilibrium constants of CO₂ methanation and reverse water–gas...

This review focuses on a set of studies about functional bakery products. The literature search was performed on scientific databases ScienceDirect, PubMed, MDPI, BOn, and SciELO, based on some eligibility criteria, and a total of 102 original resear...

Porous silica-based adsorbents for hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) ion removal were prepared by the combined use of functionalization with (3-glycidyloxypropyl)trimethoxysilane and the grafting of branched and linear polyethyleneimine (BPEI and LPEI). L...

Geopolymers are cementitious materials with exceptional mechanical and physical properties, making them suitable for aerospace applications. Considering their excellent performance, the present investigation aims to develop geopolymers with designed...

This study explores the synthesis and application of Pd-doped CuO-ZnO composites for the simultaneous photodegradation of anionic and neutral dyes. The nanocomposite was synthesized using a hydrothermal technique and characterized using XRD, FTIR, an...
