Due to the constraint of fresh water, the reuse of flowback and produced water (FPW) with
high TDS, is critical to minimize the environmental impact of oil/gas exploration. The …

Layered double hydroxide (LDH) with NO 2− intercalation was successfully prepared via
acidification oscillation and ion exchange. The nano-fillers were incorporated into the resin …

In the early stages after larval settlement, coral spat can be rapidly overgrown and
outcompeted by algae, reducing overall survival for coral reef replenishment and supply for …

Biofouling is one of the most challenging problems for the maritime industry which has been
minimized through the application of coatings containing anti-fouling (AF) biocides (eg Cu …

Biocide-based coatings have been applied for several years to tackle marine biofouling.
Recently, engineered nanomaterials, such as silica mesoporous nanocapsules (SiNCs) …

Research on nanotechnology with applications in agriculture has been gathering attention
because it may achieve a good balance between agricultural production and environmental …

In the last decade the state of the art in corrosion science was defined by the incorporation of
smart nanocontainers into coatings for the protection of metallic alloys. These smart …

Recent advances in nanotechnology have allowed the encapsulation of hazardous
antifouling (AF) biocides in silica mesoporous nanocapsules (SiNC) reducing their short …

Antifouling booster biocides are chemicals used in protective paints to tackle the adhesion of
fouling organisms to maritime artificial structures. However, they are also known to exert …

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are stimuli-responsive anionic nanoclays. The vast
possibilities of using LDHs can lead to their existence in the ecosystem, raising a question of …
