Article Abstract
We report the use of inverse supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) and miniaturized asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation (mAF4) for the preparation and subsequent analysis of titanium dioxide nanoparticles in model and commercial sunscreens. The approach allows for the fast and reliable fractionation and sizing of TiO nanoparticles and their quantitation in commercial products. This new method represents a powerful and efficient tool for the verification of nanoparticle content in a wide range of matrixes, as demanded by recently introduced regulatory requirements. Furthermore, the use of carbon dioxide as an environmentally friendly solvent is in line with the increasing need for ecologically compatible analytical techniques.

Research on reducing the minimum miscible pressure (MMP) of CO and oil is imperative for the advancement of CO flooding, which can effectively enhance the recovery of low-permeability reservoirs and enable CO geological storage. However, the conventional methods of determining the MMP (e.g.

The alpha rhythm is a hallmark of electrophysiological resting-state brain activity, that serves as a biomarker in health and disease. Alpha power is far from uniform over time, exhibiting dynamic fluctuations. The likelihood of those power values can be captured by a decreasing exponential function, which in certain cases becomes bimodal.

Covalent adaptable networks (CANs) and CO-derived polyhydroxyurethanes (PHUs) are often deemed as sustainable alternatives to conventional thermosets, particularly for composites made with epoxy (EP) matrices. However, the sustainability of CAN-based composites has never been assessed, nor has that of thermoset PHUs. Herein, we perform a life cycle assessment of PHUs, synergetic hybrid EP-PHU CANs, and EP in composite applications with either carbon or natural fibers (NFs) in order to address their syntheses, processes, and recycling.

Critical slowing down of the dynamics of a system near bifurcation points leads to long recovery times towards stable states in response to perturbations. Analogously, for systems initially in an unstable state, the relaxation also becomes slow near bifurcation points. Here we explore the onset of self-sustained oscillations in a sideband-driven electromechanical resonator, when the zero-amplitude state changes from stable to unstable.

Polyethylene glycol (PEG), a synthetic polymer made up of repeating ethylene oxide units, is widely recognized for its broad utility and adaptable properties. Precise estimation of CO solubility in PEG plays a vital role in enhancing processes such as supercritical fluid extraction, carbon capture, and polymer modification, where CO serves as a solvent or transport medium. This study focuses on building advanced predictive models using machine-learning approaches, such as random forest (RF), decision tree (DT), adaptive boosting (AdaBoost), k-nearest neighbors (KNN), and ensemble learning (EL) to forecast CO solubility in PEG across a wide range of conditions.
