Superionic conductivity in certain polymorphs of Ag2S has inspired numerous concepts for materials applications, but the relationship between the structure and the mobility of silver ions remains poorly explored.
Read MoreAlthough PE-based nanocomposites are gaining interest within the food packaging industry for their outstanding functional properties, their end-of-life has been poorly studied.
Read MoreThe release of engineered nanomaterials into the environment is increasing at a rapid pace due to rising production and incorporation into a variety of consumer products, collectively referred to as nano-enabled products.
Read MoreSynthetic amorphous silica is used in various applications such as cosmetics, food, or rubber reinforcement. These uses increase human exposure, and thus the potential risk related to their short- and long-term toxicity for both consumers and workers.
Read MoreNanocomposite materials based on bio-polyesters (PBSA and PHBV) have been evaluated for their suitability for food contact according to the recommendations defined for non-biodegradable plastic materials, and subsequently, according to accelerated aging treatment.
Read MoreTiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) are one of the most produced NPs worldwide and are used in many consumer products. Their impact on human health, especially through inhalation, has been studied for more than two decades.
Read MoreEu2+ is used to replace toxic Pb2+ in metal halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs). The synthesis implies injection of cesium oleate into a solution of europium (ii) bromide at an experimentally determined optimum temperature of 130 °C and a reaction time of 60 sec
Read MoreThe chemical composition and properties of environmental media determine nanomaterial (NM) transport, fate, biouptake, and organism response. To compare and interpret experimental data, it's essential that sufficient context be provided for describing the physical and chemical characteristics of the setting in which a nanomaterial may be present.
Read MoreIn order to assess the release of UV filters from the sunscreen used by beachgoers into seawater within the bathing zone, a field campaign was carried out during the summer of 2017 at three beaches in Marseille, along the French Mediterranean coast.
