The application of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONs) is often limited by agglomeration and low loading. Here, we presented a facile phase change material (PCM) -based sol-gel strategy for the fabrication of α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles. Rosin was used as the PCM in the sol-gel process and the carbon-bas...detailed
Conventional urea is lost due to its high water solubility and microbial transformations which results low agriculture productivity and environmental pollution. To solve these problems, rosin adduct-coated controlled release urea fertilizer (RA-CRUF) was prepared. Properties of rosin adduct with...detailed
Background“Rosin tech” is an emerging solventless method consisting in applying moderate heat and constant pressure on marijuana flowers to prepare marijuana concentrates referred to as “rosin.” This paper explores rosin concentrate-related Twitter data to describe tweet content and analyze ...detailed
A series of rosin stabilized nanoparticles were prepared by miniemulsion polymerization. The hydrophobicity of dehydroabietic acid (DA) from rosin or from DA derived acrylic monomer (AEDA) was employed to stabilize the monomer miniemulsions. Then miniemulsion polymerizations of these monomer min...detailed
The incorporation of polymers derived from renewable resources is more desirable in the preparation of wood composites due to its sustainability. As biomass feedstock, rosin has been used for the preparation of wood-based composite material. However, the high leachability and non-reactive with w...detailed
The antibacterial features of natural pine/spruce rosin are well established, yet the functionality in various thermoplastics has not been surveyed. This work focuses on the processing of industrial grade purified rosin mixed with polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polylactic acid (PLA), pol...detailed
Ethnopharmacological relevanceRosin, an exudate of conifer trees such as Pinus masscnlana (Pinaceae), has been used to treat psoriasis for nearly two thousand years in China despite its so far undefined pharmacology. Unfortunately, the rosin intoxication is noted from time to time, but the water...detailed
