Development of a polystyrene-based microplastic model for bioaccumulation and biodistribution study using radiotracing and nuclear analysis method.

The investigation of micro or nano plastics behavior in the environment is essential to minimize the hazards of such pollutants on humans. While the conventional method requires sophisticated procedures and a lot of animal subjects, the nuclear technique confers a sensitive, accurate, and real-time method using radiolabeled micro or nano plastics as a tracer. In this study, polystyrene sulfonate-based microplastic (PSM) was developed with a size of around 3.

Rifampicin adsorption and release study using Santa Barbara amorphous-16 modified Al (SBA-16-Al) for a drug delivery system.

In this study, the surface modification of Santa Barbara Amorphous-16 (SBA-16) with aluminum (SBA-16-Al) was carried out as a rifampicin matrix for the treatment of tuberculosis. Surface modification of SBA-16 was achieved using the direct-synthesis grafting method. Then, the adsorption and release properties of rifampicin from the SBA-16-Al matrix have been studied in batches.

Surface modification of acid-functionalized mesoporous gamma-alumina for non-fission Mo/Tc generator.

Mesoporous gamma-alumina (MGA) was synthesized for neutron-activated Mo adsorbent. Acid functionalization of the MGA was carried out to enhance the Mo adsorption capacity and the Mo breakthrough profile. The acid-treated MGA has a more positive particle charge, rougher surface, smaller particle and pore size, larger surface area, and wider pore distance.

Vocational education phenomena research method.

The vocational education implementation is one of the success factors for government to improve the quality of human resources, mainly toward producing skilled workers. Various researchers have studied the phenomena of vocational education. Unfortunately, studies on research methods in relation to vocational education phenomena are limited.
