ANALISIS PERBANDINGAN EFISIENSI DAYA PANEL SURYA 200 WP DENGAN TURBIN ANGIN SUMBU VERTIKAL 200 WATT

Electrical energy is currently one of the main needs needed by humans to carry out daily activities. The process of generating electrical energy is carried out through the transformation of various energy sources, either using conventional energy sources or using renewable energy. One of Renewable energy is being developed is wind power and solar power. However, in the application of these two energy sources there are still deficiency, namely the value of energy conversion efficiency is still small and is very much influenced by environmental conditions such as the value of solar irradiation and wind speed, this can affect to energy production the electricity generated. The purpose of this research is to carry out a comparative analysis of the power efficiency produced by a 200 Wp solar panel with a 200 watt vertical axis wind turbine. The test was carried out in Karawang Regency. The results of this study show that solar panels have a higher efficiency value than wind turbines with an average solar panel efficiency value of 5.12% and an average wind turbine efficiency value of 2.05%. The results of wind turbine efficiency tend to be small because the wind that blows is not always stable and only lasts a few moments.

Analysis of spatial and temporal carbon emission efficiency in Yangtze River Delta city cluster — Based on nighttime lighting data and machine learning

Improving carbon emission efficiency(CEE) is crucial to reducing CO2 emissions. Most studies on CO2 emission are conducted at national and industrial scales, and city-scale studies still need to be included. In order to collect more consistent city- and county-scale CO2 emission data, the sparrow search neural network is trained to fit the energy consumption CO2 emissions with nighttime light in this study. Additionally, using the SBM-DEA model and spatial econometric techniques, the CEE values of 27 cities in the Yangtze River Delta region (YRDR) from 2000 to 2020 were examined from the perspective of total factor inputs. The findings demonstrate that CEE's general trend is erratic and uneven. The CEE value of the YRDR decreases from 0.720 in 2000 to 0.628 by 2020, which means that the YRDR has redundant capital and labour inputs and insufficient economic output. The low value carbon efficiency areas are mainly concentrated in the western part of the YRDR, i.e. the Anhui Province region. Shanghai, Wuxi and Suzhou have high carbon efficiency values of 1.21, 2.08 and 1.00 respectively, and are exemplary cities in terms of carbon efficiency, while the rest of the cities have varying degrees of efficiency loss. Taking Chizhou-Jiaxing as the middle line, the CEE pattern in the YRDR presents a state of “low in the middle and high at each end,” and center of gravity for CEE generally shifts southward. Additionally, the cold-spot areas of CEE are concentrated in the southern part of Anhui Province, and develop a low-efficiency zone with Chizhou, Anqing, and Xuancheng as clusters and spreading outwards. Overall, this paper significantly narrows the spatial scale of carbon accounting studies and the findings can be applied to the formulation of customized carbon reduction policies.

EFFECTIVENESS OF DECOY WATER TREATMENT ON REACTIVATORS AT PT GOODYEAR INDONESIA Tbk

PT Goodyear Indonesia Tbk is a tire manufacturing industry whose main need is the provision of water for steam boiler decoys. This water is obtained from groundwater and surface water such as river water which is then treated in a reactivator using one of the coagulants, namely PAC, so that impurities from river water can be removed, so the water is cleaner and can be used for steam boilers and does not interfere with a further decoy water treatment. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of water treatment in reactivators to be a reference for further treatment considerations at PT Goodyear Indonesia Tbk. The test result data showed the efficiency value between the inlet and outlet and compared it with the control limit set by the company. The efficiency test parameters consist of pH, conductivity, clarity measurement, and color measurement. Based on the results of efficiency calculations, several test parameters show that water treatment in reactivators at PT Goodyear Indonesia Tbk is still good and has a high-efficiency value.

Trophic fingerprinting of a pristine but rapidly deteriorating downstream region of a Western Ghats River.

Chalakudy River is renowned for its pristine waters and rich ichthyofaunal biodiversity. The downstream area of the river is confronting a series of risks, including pollution, saline water ingression, sand mining, illegal and intensified fishing practices, and invasion of exotic and alien species. A mass balanced ecosystem model was constructed for the downstream region of Chalakudy River (DCR) using Ecopath with Ecosim (EWE), incorporating 12 functional groups to delineate the food web and network flow indices for the period 2020 to 2021. The trophic level (TL) of the ecosystem network ranged from TL-1 (detritus) to TL-3.4 (birds). High fishing pressure is one possible cause for the high ecotrophic efficiency values as evidenced by the fish groups. Both the grazing food chain and detritus food chain (detritivory: herbivory ratio 0.94) contributed more or less equal to the energy transfer between TL. Network analysis of the model indicated a mean transfer efficiency of 12%, with shares from primary producers (14%) and detritus (11%). A mixed trophic impact analysis demonstrated a strong positive impact of primary producers and detritus groups on most of the other ecological groups at higher trophic levels. The DCR model showed a high system throughput (32,464.7 t km-2 year-1), low system omnivory (0.09), low connectance index (0.36), low Finn's cycling index (4.9), and mean path length (2.8), low relative ascendency (37.5%), and high system overhead (62.5%). These indices propound that DCR is an immature and developing ecosystem with moderate strength in reserve to resist external perturbations.

Synergetic and anomalous effect of CNTs in the sulphide‐based binary composite for an extraordinary and asymmetric supercapacitor device

AbstractCarbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attained great interest from researchers due to their excellent electrical conductivity, vast surface area, and good chemical stability. In this work, the sulphide‐based composite Ag2S@ZnS was synthesized using the hydrothermal method and was doped with CNTs in various weight percentage ratios. The structural and morphological characteristics of the samples were evaluated by employing X‐ray diffractometry (XRD), X‐ray photo spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) analysis, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), while cyclic voltammetry (CV) and galvanostatic charge/discharge (GCD) were also executed for their electrochemical characterization. The performance of the Ag2S@ZnS electrode was enhanced after the doping of CNTs because of their synergistic effect. An extraordinary specific capacity (Qs) of 946.5 Cg−1 (262.91 mAh g−1) was exhibited by Ag2S@ZnS with 50% CNTs doping (Ag2S@ZnS/CNT‐50%), which is significantly greater than the reference samples. Furthermore, an asymmetric supercapacitor was designed and assessed for its electrochemical properties. The specific capacity of the asymmetric supercapacitor reached 148.62 Cg−1 (41.28 mAh g−1). The device showed improved stability and retained the 87% initial capacity after 5000 cycles. The energy and power densities were found to be 33.02 Wh kg−1 at 639.98 W kg−1, respectively, with a high value of coulombic efficiency of 92%. The device succeeded in acquiring a higher power density of 3200 W kg−1 for an energy density of 4 Wh kg−1. These astonishing results provide opportunities to design high‐performance electrode materials for extraordinary energy storage devices.

Enhanced energy storage properties of Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3-based ceramics via regulating the doping content and sintering temperature

Eco-friendly lead-free energy-storage ceramics featuring high energy storage properties and ultra-high stability have been regarded to be one of the most potential materials in the field of energy storage. In this work, a new element system, (1-x)(0.6Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3-0.4SrTiO3)-xBi[Zn2/3(Nb0.5Ta0.5)1/3]O3 ((1-x)BNST-xBZNT) lead-free ceramics, were synthesized via a conventional solid-state sintering technology. And the phase structure, microstructure and energy storage properties of the (1-x)BNST-xBZNT ceramics were comprehensively studied. After the introduction of BZNT, the average grain size of the materials is greatly decreased, thereby enhancing the dielectric breakdown strength (DBS). Additionally, the thermal stability of the ceramics is significantly improved via regulating the doping content and sintering temperature. Furthermore, the ferroelectric long-range order of the ceramics is decomposed into randomly-oriented polar nano-domains (PNRs) after introducing BZNT, leading to strong relaxor behavior and significantly reducing remanent polarization (Pr). As a result, even under a relatively low electric field of 139 kV/cm, the 0.98BNST-0.02BZNT ceramic sintered at 1150 °C possesses high values of energy storage efficiency (η) value of 92.78% and total energy storage density (Wtot) of 1.67 J/cm3 as well as remarkable thermal stability (25–175 °C), frequency stability (20–70 Hz) and fatigue resistant stability (100-105 cycles). This investigation provides a useful reference for developing advanced energy storage ceramics by regulating the doping content and sintering temperature.

Effective hydrothermal-enzymatic sequential process of agave bagasse enhances saccharification and methane production

The efficiency of enzymatic saccharification of lignocellulosic biomass is a key step for biofuels production in the biochemical biorefineries. A novel sequential process, hydrothermal pretreatment followed by enzymatic hydrolysis, of agave bagasse was investigated to improve the release of sugars and the methane production. After optimization of the hydrothermal pretreatment by surface response methodology, a hemicellulose removal of 93.6% was obtained at 180 °C/50 min. Hemicellulose removal enhanced cellulose depolymerization during the enzymatic hydrolysis of the pretreated bagasse by 2.3 times as compared to the untreated bagasse. The single-stage batch methane production of the hydrothermal and enzymatic hydrolysates were 0.223 ± 0.02 NL CH4/ g CODadd and 0.305 ± 0.03 NL CH4/g CODadd respectively, indicating a higher biodegradability of the enzymatic hydrolysate. The combined energy recovered from the hydrothermal and enzymatic hydrolysates was 3.4 times greater than that recovered from untreated agave bagasse hydrolysate. Also, the combined energy recovery was higher than the energy recovery reported in the literature for agave bagasse pretreated with other chemical and hydrothermal pretreatments. Overall, this study enhanced the saccharification efficiency and biodegradability of polysaccharides present in agave bagasse through efficient saccharification of cellulose and hemicellulose. This was reflected in a high value of combined energy recovery efficiency (54.1%) in the form of methane.

Experimental quantification of the performance of a horizontal multi-pipe bulk separator of water and oil with crude spiking

Subsea water separation with pipe separators is crucial for ensuring efficient and environmentally responsible extraction of oil and gas from the seabed. In this study, in a process called as “crude oil spiking,” two concentrations of crude oil (e.g., 185 and 400 ppm) are added to Exxsol D60 to mimic the separation characteristics of real crude oil mixtures in a multi-parallel pipe separator. The pipe separator performance for water–oil bulk separation such as separation efficiency, water cut ratio, the flow pattern at the separator inlet, and the thickness and evolution of the fluid layers in the separator is evaluated and compared to the values when operating with unspiked Exxsol D60. Crude oil spiking significantly reduces the efficiency of the pipe separator and reduces the water cut ratio for oil continuous regimes (low water cuts) up to 49%. Water continuous regimes with water fractions 90% have the highest efficiency values; thus, these are not affected significantly by crude oil spiking. With crude spiking, the flow regime dispersion of oil in water and water in oil (Dw/o + Do/w) occupies more area in the flow pattern map than unspiked Exxsol D60. It was observed through visual inspection that crude oil spiking induces a thicker and more stable emulsion in higher flow rates (e.g., 700 L/min). Therefore, the spiked mixture needs more time to separate. The findings of this study can help in a better understanding of the applicability of pipe separators and the usage of spiked oils to extrapolate experimental results to real field conditions.Graphical abstract

Evaluating Building Construction Safety Performance in Different Regions in China

This article employs a three-stage slack-based data envelopment analysis (SBM-DEA) model to evaluate the construction safety performance (CSP) of 30 provinces and cities in China, focusing on enhancing the sustainable development of construction safety in the industry, in line with the concept of sustainable development. The research findings indicate that the supervision environment of each province and city exerts a more substantial influence on the sustainable development of construction safety compared with the level of socio-economic development. Significant changes have been observed in the regional distribution of construction safety management levels within the construction industry by eliminating the impact of economic development, the supervision environment, and random errors. The original pattern of “East > West > Central > Northeast” has shifted to “East > Central > Northeast > West.” Moreover, it has been discovered that high-efficiency values of safety performance in certain provinces and cities are partially attributed to external environmental (EE) pressure. In contrast, low-efficiency values cannot be solely attributed to their lack of willingness to implement safety management. Finally, the article proposes strategies, including government policy-led approaches, technology prioritization, and management prioritization, to enhance the sustainable development of construction safety in the construction industry based on the internal safety performance of each province.

Formation mechanism of yeast-soy protein extrudates during high-moisture extrusion and their digestive properties

Yeast protein (YP) has generated significant interest due to its potential for high production efficiency and nutritional value. This study investigated the effects of YP ratios (0–50%) on the formation mechanism of extrudates prepared by YP and soy protein isolate (SPI) during high-moisture extrusion and their in vitro dynamic digestive properties. Extrudates containing 40% YP had the most abundant fiber structures. Combined segmental sampling and closed cavity rheometer (CCR) simulated the extrusion process (mixing, melting, cooling, and extrudate) found that YP was dispersed throughout the SPI network structure in both the mixing and melting zones, and YP as a separate phase transformed SPI into a “mushy” state, facilitating the development of intermolecular forces and promoting the reconstruction of the protein network in the cooling zone. Additionally, in vitro dynamic gastrointestinal digestion has shown that extrudates with high YP content had higher gastric emptying rates and produced digestates with smaller particles. Extrudates containing 30% YP exhibited the highest essential amino acid index (EAAI). Overall, this finding provides a promising strategy for production of meat analogues with high quality using yeast protein.

Whey protein aggregates‐alginate composite gel for astaxanthin‐chia oil encapsulation

AbstractChia oil (rich in omega‐3 fatty acids) and astaxanthin are associated with various benefits for human health. However, their low solubility and poor stability reduce their direct use as bioactive compounds. Its encapsulation within the appropriate material can be a solution in this case. This work evaluated the effect of whey protein aggregates (WPA) on the storage stability of chia oil‐astaxanthin blends encapsulated in alginate gel beads. Bead characteristics and the stability of encapsulated bioactive compounds stored at 25°C for 30 days were evaluated. High values of encapsulation efficiency (>85%) were observed in the cases studied. The addition of WPA affected some characteristics of the beads and improved the stability of the bioactive compounds compared to pure alginate beads. After 30 days of storage, higher preservation of astaxanthin and lower content of lipid oxidation products were observed in beads with WPA compared to alginate beads.

Techno-Economic Analysis of Solid Oxide Fuel Cell-Gas Turbine Hybrid Systems for Stationary Power Applications Using Renewable Hydrogen

Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC)–gas turbine (GT) hybrid systems can produce power at high electrical efficiencies while emitting virtually zero criteria pollutants (e.g., ozone, carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen and sulfur, and particulate matters). This study presents new insights into renewable hydrogen (RH2)-powered SOFC–GT hybrid systems with respect to their system configuration and techno-economic analysis motivated by the need for clean on-demand power. First, three system configurations are thermodynamically assessed: (I) a reference case with no SOFC off-gas recirculation, (II) a case with cathode off-gas recirculation, and (III) a case with anode off-gas recirculation. While these configurations have been studied in isolation, here we provide a detailed performance comparison. Moreover, a techno-economic analysis is conducted to study the economic competitiveness of RH2-fueled hybrid systems and the economies of scale by offering a comparison to natural gas (NG)-fueled systems. Results show that the case with anode off-gas recirculation, with 68.50%-lower heating value (LHV) at a 10 MW scale, has the highest efficiency among the studied scenarios. When moving from 10 MW to 50 MW, the efficiency increases to 70.22%-LHV. These high efficiency values make SOFC–GT hybrid systems highly attractive in the context of a circular economy as they outcompete most other power generation technologies. The cost-of-electricity (COE) is reduced by about 10% when moving from 10 MW to 50 MW, from USD 1976/kW to USD 1668/kW, respectively. Renewable H2 is expected to be economically competitive with NG by 2030, when the U.S. Department of Energy’s target of USD 1/kg RH2 is reached.

DFT and TD-DFT calculations for electronic, magnetic, and optical characteristics of the 3d transition metal complexes for hexaazabipyH2

The electronic, magnetic, and optical characteristics of hexaazabipyH2 molecule (HA) and the 3d transition metal complexes for hexaazabipyH2 (TMHA) are investigated utilizing DFT and TD-DFT calculations. The stability of the investigated complexes is confirmed by the binding energy, molecular dynamic, and vibrational frequencies. The calculated HOMO-LUMO gap values show that the HA and TMHA are semiconductors. The magnetic moment (µ) for the investigated complexes is estimated, and the greatest µ value (3.76 µB) is recorded for the CrHA complex. The existence of the TM atom influences the UV–Vis spectrum of HA, where a redshift has occurred for the TMHA complexes except the ZnHA. The MnHAcomplex has a high light harvesting efficiency value of 0.403. The HA and TMHA complexes have refractive indices in the range of 2.311 to 3.323. Our results show that the HA as well TMHA complexes might be promising materials for solar cells and optoelectronics applications.

Development and validation of natural user interfaces for semantic enrichment of BIM models using open formats

PurposeDespite the technological paradigm shift presented to the architecture, engineering, construction and operations sector (AECO), the full-fledged acceptance of the building information modelling (BIM) methodology has been slower than initially anticipated. Indeed, this study aims to acknowledge the need for increasing supportive technologies enabling the use of BIM, attending to available human resources, their requirements and their tasks.Design/methodology/approachA complete case study is described, including the development process centred on design science research methodology followed by the usability assessment procedure validated by construction projects facility management operational staff.FindingsResults show that participants could interact with BIM using openBIM processes and file formats naturally, as most participants reached an efficiency level close to that expected for users already familiar with the interface (i.e. high-efficiency values). These results are consistent with the reported perceived satisfaction and analysis of participants’ discourses through 62 semi-structured interviews.Originality/valueThe contributions of the present study are twofold: a proposal for a virtual reality openBIM framework is presented, particularly for the semantic enrichment of BIM models, and a methodology for evaluating the usability of this type of system in the AECO sector.

Probing the Förster Resonance Energy Transfer Dynamics in Colloidal Donor-Acceptor Quantum Dots Assemblies.

In this article, we report the synthesis of graphene quantum dots (GQDs) by hydrothermal method and surface modified CdS quantum dots (QDs) via the colloidal method and the fabrication of their dyad. The CdS QDs functionalized by mercaptoacetic acid (MAA) attach to the GQDs via electrostatic interactions. Spectral overlapping between the emission spectrum of GQDs and the absorption spectrum of CdS QDs allows efficient Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) from GQDs to the CdS QDs in the GQDs-CdS QDs dyads. The magnitude of FRET efficiency (E) and the rate of energy transfer (kE) assessed by the photoluminescence (PL) decay kinetics are ~61.84% and ⁓3.8 × 108s- 1, respectively. These high values of FRET efficiency and energy transfer rate can be assigned to the existence of strong electrostatic interactions between GQDs and CdS QDs, which arise due to the presence of polar functionalities on the surface of both GQDs and CdS QDs. The understanding of energy transfer in the luminescent donor-acceptor FRET system is of significant importance and the practical implications of such FRET systems could overall improve the efficiency of photovoltaics, sensing, imaging and optoelectronic devices.

INFLUENCE OF THE COMPOSITION OF THE SYNTHETIZED GAS ON THE COMBUSTION PROCESS OF THE MIXTURE IN THE INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

The article is devoted to the use of low-energy synthesized gas (synthesis gas) as a fuel for internal combustion engines, which in turn transmit mechanical energy to a cogeneration plant (combined production of heat and electricity). Such power plants allow you to achieve high values of total effective efficiency when using a conventional internal combustion engine with spark ignition. The analysed synthetic gases can be obtained by the method of gasification of household waste with access to air. In this work, synthesis gases were obtained in laboratory conditions. The composition of the components of the studied synthesis gases corresponds to several gas mixtures that are created during the artificial gasification of household waste of certain categories. The influence of the composition of the synthesis gas components on the internal parameters of the internal combustion engine was studied. The process of supplying fuel to the engine was controlled by a standard block with several sensors connected to it in the combustion chamber and the exhaust manifold. Engine operation on all synthesis gas mixtures was compared with operation on pure methane mixture. The analysis shows that the drop in efficiency indicators in the form of indicator mean effective pressure (IMEP) ranges from 10% to 40% compared to work on a pure methane mixture. With an increase in the proportion of hydrogen in the synthesis gas, the stiffness of the engine, as well as the rate of heat generation, increases. When the synthesis gas contained a high proportion of carbon monoxide, the stiffness of the engine was the lowest. The main combustion time of synthesis gas is reduced when hydrogen is added to the mixture, and due to an increase in the proportion of methane or carbon monoxide, it increases on the contrary. The presented results make it possible to analyses the processes occurring in the internal combustion engine, as well as the influence of the components of the synthesis gas produced from renewable energy sources. This will make it possible to adjust the gas production process in such a way as to achieve the highest possible energy and economic indicators of its utilization in the cogeneration plant.

Radionuclides' Recovery from Seawater Using FIC and FIC A Sorbents.

To solve radioecological and oceanological problems (estimate the vertical transport, flows of particulate organic carbon, phosphorus biodynamics, submarine groundwater discharge, etc.), it is necessary to determine the natural values of the radionuclides' activity in seawater and particulate matter. For the first time, the radionuclides' sorption from seawater was studied using sorbents based on activated carbon modified with iron(III) ferrocyanide (FIC) and based on activated carbon modified with iron(III) hydroxide (FIC A-activated FIC) obtained by FIC sorbent treatment with sodium hydroxide solution. The possibility of trace amounts of phosphorus, beryllium, and cesium recovery in laboratory conditions has been investigated. Distribution coefficients, dynamic, and total dynamic exchange capacities were determined. The physicochemical regularities (isotherm and kinetics) of sorption have been studied. The results obtained are characterized via Langmuir, Freindlich, and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm equations, as well as pseudo-first and pseudo-second-order kinetic models, intraparticle diffusion, and the Elovich model. Under expeditionary conditions, the sorption efficiency of 137Cs using FIC sorbent, 7Be, 32P, and 33P-using FIC A sorbent with a single-column method by adding a stable tracer, as well as the sorption efficiency of radionuclides 210Pb and 234Th with their natural content by FIC A sorbent in a two-column mode from large volumes of seawater was assessed. High values of efficiency of their recovery by the studied sorbents were achieved.

A combination of machine learning model and density functional theory method to predict corrosion inhibition performance of new diazine derivative compounds

This study proposes a novel approach that combines machine learning (ML) and density functional theory (DFT) methods to construct a quantitative structure-properties relationship (QSPR) model for diazine derivatives as anti-corrosion inhibitors. A dataset is constructed by combining three existing diazine isomer datasets to represent diazine compounds. Thirty-two different ML algorithms were implemented on the dataset, and the gradient boosting regressor (GBR) model was identified as the best predictive model for diazine and each isomer dataset based on the coefficient of determination (R2) and root mean square error (RMSE) metric values. This consistency was also observed when the GBR model was implemented on four other diazine derivatives, resulting in high corrosion inhibition efficiency (CIE) values ranging from 85.02 % to 94.99 %. The DFT calculations for these derivatives also showed strong adsorption energies ranging from − 4.41 to − 6.09 eV, in line with the CIE trend obtained from the ML prediction. This novel approach can provide insights into the properties of prospective organic corrosion inhibitors prior to experimental investigations, which could accelerate the development of new and effective organic corrosion inhibitors.

Fabrication of Sacha Inchi Oil-Loaded Microcapsules Employing Natural-Templated Lycopodium clavatum Spores and Their Pressure-Stimuli Release Behavior.

Polymeric particles have attracted vast attention for use in various fields, especially as drug carriers and cosmetics, due to their excellent ability to protect active ingredients from the environment until reaching a target site. However, these materials are commonly produced from conventional synthetic polymers, which impose adverse effects on the environment due to their non-degradable nature, leading to waste accumulation and pollution in the ecosystem. This work aims to utilize naturally occurring Lycopodium clavatum spores to encapsulate sacha inchi oil (SIO), which contains active compounds with antioxidant activity, by applying a facile passive loading/solvent diffusion-assisted method. Sequential chemical treatments by acetone, potassium hydroxide, and phosphoric acid were employed to remove native biomolecules from the spores before encapsulation effectively. These are mild and facile processes compared to other synthetic polymeric materials. Scanning electron microscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy revealed the clean, intact, and ready-to-use microcapsule spores. After the treatments, the structural morphology of the treated spores remained significantly unchanged compared to the untreated counterparts. With an oil/spore ratio of 0.75:1.00 (SIO@spore-0.75), high encapsulation efficiency and capacity loading values of 51.2 and 29.3%, respectively, were obtained. Using antioxidant assay (DPPH), the IC50 of SIO@spore-0.75 was 5.25 ± 3.04 mg/mL, similar to that of pure SIO (5.51 ± 0.31 mg/mL). Under pressure stimuli (1990 N/cm3, equivalent to a gentle press), a high amount of SIO was released (82%) from the microcapsules within 3 min. At an incubation time of 24 h, cytotoxicity tests showed a high cell viability of 88% at the highest concentration of the microcapsules (10 mg/mL), reflecting biocompatibility. The prepared microcapsules have a high potential for cosmetic applications, especially as functional scrub beads in facial washing products.
