Photocatalytic polymerization induced by a transparent anatase titania aqueous sol and fabrication of polymer composites

“…The glass transition temperatures and the thermal stabilities of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) composite materials prepared via photocatalytic polymerization are enhanced compared with pure polymer. The partial aggregation of titania nanoparticles in PMMA composite films is derived from the surface polymerization of MMA, which makes the inorganic particles hydrophobic and drives them to the water/oil interfaces.…”

On the dependence of fluorescence intensity on the concentration of photosensitizer solutions by G. A. Meerovich, I. D. Romanishkin, E. V. Akhlyustina, V. B. Loschenov

“…At higher concentrations, the loss of fluorescence light increases due to its partial re-absorption by the photosensi- tizer molecules and subsequent isotropic re-emission with quantum yield much lower than 1, and further increase of concentration leads to partial aggregation of PS, and to the following decrease of effective fluorescence. …”

Characterization of Environmental Nano- and Macrocolloid Particles Extracted from Selected Soils and Biosolids by J. L. Ghezzi, A. D. Karathanasis, C. J. Matocha, J. Unrine, Y. L. Thompson

“…The estimated average hydrodynamic diameter of nanoparticles was nearly twice the ideal 100 nm range, apparently due to irregular particle shapes and partial aggregation. Nanoparticles were also found attached to surfaces of macrocolloids, forming macro-nano aggregates and obscuring some of their physical and chemical characteristics. …”

A Framework Integrating Federated Learning and Fog Computing Based on Client Sampling and Dynamic Thresholding Techniques by Dang van Thang, Artem Volkov, Ammar Muthanna, Ibrahim A. Elgendy, Reem Alkanhel, Dushantha Nalin K. Jayakody, Andrey Koucheryavy

“…By dynamically adjusting per-round thresholds based on local gradient change rates, our method selects only the most informative clients and leverages fog nodes for partial aggregation, thereby minimizing redundant transmissions, accelerating convergence under heterogeneous data, and offloading the central server. …”

Sustainable cement-based mortar with shredded material recycled from end-of-life wind turbine blades by Magdalena Rucka, Marzena Kurpińska

“…Two SC fractions were tested: 0–2 mm as a partial cement replacement (10%, 15%, 20% by volume) and 0–32 mm as a partial aggregate replacement (20%, 30%, 40% by volume). …”

Conformational targeting of fibrillar polyglutamine proteins in live cells escalates aggregation and cytotoxicity. by Erik Kvam, Brent L Nannenga, Min S Wang, Zongjian Jia, Michael R Sierks, Anne Messer

“…Analogous cytotoxic results are observed following conformational targeting of normal or polyglutamine-expanded human ataxin-3, which partially aggregate through non-polyglutamine domains.<h4>Conclusions/significance</h4>These findings validate that the rate of aggregation modulates polyglutamine-mediated intracellular dysfunction, and caution that molecules designed to specifically hasten aggregation may be detrimental as therapies for polyglutamine disorders. …”

Magnetite-Functionalized Horse Dung Humic Acid (HDHA) for the Uptake of Toxic Lead(II) from Artificial Wastewater by Rahmat Basuki, Bambang Rusdiarso, Sri Juari Santosa, Dwi Siswanta

“…The TEM image and EDX analysis exhibited that the MHDHA with an average size of ∼14 nm was partially aggregated and contained (w/w) 9.89% carbon, 2.89% nitrogen, and 32.74% oxygen based on functional groups of HDHA. …”
