Variable chain length di-urethane cross-linked poly(oxyethylene) (POE)/siloxane hybrid networks were prepared by application of a sol-gel strategy. These materials, designated as di-urethanesils (represented as d-Ut(Y’), where Y’ indicates the average molecular weight of the polymer segment), were doped with lithium triflate (LiCF3SO3). The two host hybrid matrices used, d-Ut(300) and d-Ut(600), incorporate POE...
Salinization and nitrate leaching are two of the leading threats to the environment of the European Mediterranean regions. Inefficient use of water and fertilizers has led to a nitrate increase in the aquifers and reduction in crop yields caused by salts. In this study, a triple emitter source irrigation system delivers water, salt (Na+), and fertilizer (N) applications to maize (Zea mays L.). The objective of ...
In this study, poly(hydroxybutyrate) microparticles containing piroxicam were prepared by the oil-in-water emulsion-solvent evaporation method. The effects of some process conditions on drug content were determined using a 2³ factorial design. The piroxicam loading efficiency varied from 5.5 to 89.8 %. Hollow and irregular microparticles with drug crystals on their surfaces were obtained when 5 mL of chloroform...
