In this study, the usefulness of estradiol-loaded (E2-loaded) PLGA-PEG-PLGA nanoparticles in the treatment of osteoporosis was investigated by comparison with E2-loaded PLGA nanoparticles. The cumulative E2 permeation of each nanoparticle through rat skin was quantified using a Franz cell. The results showed that PLGA-PEG-PLGA nanoparticles had significantly higher permeation than PLGA nanoparticles. Next, <em>in vivo</em> treatment experiments were conducted using an ovariectomized rat model of osteoporosis. Nanoparticles were administered once per week in combination with iontophoresis. At 6 weeks after the initiation of treatment, significant improvement in bone density was observed in the treated group compared with the untreated group. The improvement in bone density tended to be greater in the PLGA-PEG-PLGA nanoparticle group versus the PLGA nanoparticle group. This may be attributed to the higher hydrophilicity of the particle surface of PLGA-PEG-PLGA nanoparticles compared with PLGA nanoparticles and the improved skin permeability of the particles through the <em>trans</em>-adnexal pathway.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101087,"journal":{"name":"Results in Materials","volume":"22 ","pages":"Article 100577"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590048X24000517/pdfft?md5=789512fa3486ad41674c3bed708338ea&pid=1-s2.0-S2590048X24000517-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140918975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These slab panels are popular in temporary constructions and beneficial in sustainability but have some financial limitations and local constraints. For a long time, the construction industry has used the arch action method, which restricts the stresses to the compression zone in concrete members and develops the required load-carrying capacity. For the same motives, industrial buildings have preferred semi-circular precast roofs, but the morphology was not suitable. For the proposed slab in this research, firstly, the typical industrial precast slab panel was doubled in width to minimize the time and efforts required for its casting, curing, and placement. Secondly, that doubled-in-width slab was provided with the arch action to confine the stresses to compression and benefit from the section entirely. Lastly, the top of the slab was kept flat to take advantage of the roof space. All these changes aimed for structural stability, reduced material's weight, improved load-carrying capacity, appropriate mobilization, and financial viability. A numerical approach and practical testing were adopted using the finite element modeling software, ABAQUS, to analyze load–deflection responses of both slabs through the concrete damage plasticity model. The proposed slab exhibited better performance as its capacity enhanced by about 1.5 times that of a typical slab. Although the volume of the material in the proposed slab increased slightly from 0.040 m<sup>3</sup> to 0.045 m<sup>3</sup>, the reductions in joint filler materials, reinforcements, and efforts required for mixing and lifting machinery compensated for this increase significantly. Hence, the slab can be recommended for the industry to save the costs while taking heavier loads efficiently.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101087,"journal":{"name":"Results in Materials","volume":"23 ","pages":"Article 100575"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590048X24000499/pdfft?md5=72baf2a17b917195334b8195926222ba&pid=1-s2.0-S2590048X24000499-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141042675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The batch experiment was investigated at different CFPG dose (0.4–2 g), RhB concentration (5–30 mg/L), pH (2, 7 and 10) and contact time (30–300 min). The removal efficiency for the adsorption of RhB using CFPG was affected by dosage, concentration, and time.

To lower environmental impacts, PP can be combined with biobased fillers such as calcium carbonate (CaCO<sub>3</sub>). The mechanical and environmental properties of CaCO<sub>3</sub> filled PP have not yet been explored in depth. Therefore, this study examines the aesthetic, tensile, flexural, impact, and environmental (via life cycle assessment) properties of injection moulded CaCO<sub>3</sub> filled PP with filler content ranging from 0% to 40% at 5% increments. As filler percentage increased, yield strength decreased (0% CaCO<sub>3</sub>: 17.68 MPa, 40% CaCO<sub>3</sub>: 12.73 MPa), but young's modulus, flexural modulus, and impact strength increased (respectively 69%, 51%, and 35% greater than pure PP). Flexural strength increased initially at 5% CaCO<sub>3</sub> but then declined as more filler was added. A yellowish hue was observed within all blends which growed stronger with more filler. The addition of CaCO<sub>3</sub> reduced the environmental impact for all 11 impact categories. For every 5% of CaCO<sub>3</sub> added, the material's global warming potential (GWP) decreased by 100g CO<sub>2</sub> eq. per functional unit (1000 cm<sup>3</sup>) of composite. Abiotic depletion of fossil fuels declined by 32% when 40% CaCO<sub>3</sub> was added. In addition to this study, it would be beneficial to explore other factors that affect the properties of CaCO<sub>3</sub> filled PP such as particle size, particle distribution, and binding additives.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101087,"journal":{"name":"Results in Materials","volume":"22 ","pages":"Article 100562"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590048X24000360/pdfft?md5=348b885dd18a8a373fe9bed5d45660e6&pid=1-s2.0-S2590048X24000360-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140327619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Subject to suitable convective boundary conditions, the transformed energy and momentum equations are numerically solved using Galerkin approximation integration coupled with a weighted residual scheme. The outcomes are disseminated using a variety of graphs to illustrate for parametric sensitivities of the thermal and velocity profiles. Based on the results, it is discovered that increases in the Frank-Kamenetskii parameter, Brinkman number, Weissenberg number, activation energy, activation ratio term, and second step term all aid in the complete combustion of hydrocarbons. Monitoring all terms that stimulate internal heat generation is essential to avoid system blow-ups.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101087,"journal":{"name":"Results in Materials","volume":"22 ","pages":"Article 100565"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590048X24000396/pdfft?md5=4170a91e520e5c5b678f723d8fe9313c&pid=1-s2.0-S2590048X24000396-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140321293","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
