Our earlier studies on the preparation of chiral stationary phases (CSP) based on superficially porous (or core-shell) silica (SPS) particles for the separation of enantiomers in HPLC have provided proof to the advantages of such sorbents. In particular, higher enantioselectivity was observed with the columns packed with superficially porous CSP compared to the columns packed with fully-porous (FP) silica-based CSPs at comparable content of chiral selector (polysaccharide derivative) in CSP. Also, less dependence of plate height on mobile phase flow rate and higher plate numbers and resolution calculated per unit time (i.e. speed of separation) were observed with SPS-based CSPs. Thirty years of CSP development have demonstrated that wide-pore silica has to be used as a support for large molecular weight chiral selectors such as the ones based on polysaccharides. In this study the effect of pore size of the core-shell silica support and of other experimental factors on column performance is demonstrated. Reduced plate heights in the range 1.4-1.5 were obtained, as well as highly effective baseline separations of enantiomers were observed with analysis times of less than 15s.

The exact moment method for the determination of the dispersion tensor in retentive porous media has been adopted to compute the dispersion coefficients, the plate height curves and the kinetic performance factors of eight different 3D printable stationary phases based on triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS). The two cases in which the stationary phase is impermeable (hydrodynamic dispersion) or superficially retentive have been analyzed in detail. The Carman-Kozeny relationship between permeability K, hydraulic diameter d and hydrodynamic tortuosity τ holds true for all the geometries investigated with a unique shape coefficient K.

In the long and complex process of geological evolution, the rise of the Himalayan movement and the strong Quaternary glacial movement 400,000 years ago have shaped the highly distinctive travertine landform landscape of Huanglong, China. The overflow of karst water in the high travertine layer has formed magnificent waterfalls and wonderful karst caves as well as the world's largest open-air travertine beaches and pools. The unique travertine landscape has entered the public's vision.

Nanoparticles have gained attention as drug delivery vehicles for cancer treatment, but often struggle with poor tumor accumulation and penetration. Single external magnets can enhance magnetic nanoparticle delivery but are limited to superficial tumors due to the rapid decline in the magnetic field strength with distance. We previously showed that a 2-magnet device could extend targeting to greater tissue depths.

Purpose: Successful regeneration of cranial defects necessitates the use of porous bone fillers to facilitate cell proliferation and nutrient diffusion. Open porous microspheres, characterized by their high specific surface area and osteo-inductive properties, offer an optimal microenvironment for cell ingrowth and efficient ossification, potentially accelerating bone regeneration.
Materials And Methods: An in vitro investigation was conducted to assess the physicochemical properties, porosity, and biocompatibility of PHA-nano-clay open porous microspheres.
