Sustainable Synthesisof Diamide Solvents from SuccinicAnhydride under Microwave Conditions for the Production of Graphenevia Liquid-Phase Exfoliation

Abstract Liquid-phase exfoliation (LPE) is a viable method for the large-scale production of two-dimensional (2D) graphene; however, toxic solvents must be replaced. The microwave synthesis of sustainable succindiamide solvents, namely N,N′-diethyl-N,N′-dibutylsuccindiamide (EBSA...

Synthetic seeds in black huckleberry: clonal fidelity and oxidative balance assessment

Ensuring genetic fidelity and proper antioxidant regulation is essential for synthetic seed technology and conservation of economically important plant species. In this study, we evaluated the effects of plant growth regulators (PGRs) and storage temperature on the germination an...
