Liquid marble (LM) is a liquid droplet stabilized by hydrophobic solid particles. The research work of Mr. Apirak Kunanopparatn, an MSc. graduate of Green Chemistry and Sustainability (International Program), Department of Chemistry, Chulalongkorn University, under the supervision of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Apichat Imyim, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Fuangfa Unob, and Prof. Dr. Syuji Fujii from the …
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the major greenhouse gases that has been increasing rapidly. This has caused directly impacts both humans and the environment. Therefore, the process for converting CO2 into many value-added chemicals can be beneficial because it cannot only reduce the growing CO2 but also accomplish the carbon cyclic utilization. One of …
Most chemical reactions are carried out using organic solvents, which are mostly toxic and eventually become problematic from both economic and environmental perspectives. To explore better routes for “Greener” chemical processes, this research aims to develop micellar systems serving as nanoreactors which can dissolve and stabilize organic substrates in water. So that organic syntheis can …

Simple oxidation reaction is one of the most common reactions in industry and academic laboratory. However, it is one of the most polluting and costly. One of the well-known oxidizing agents for constructing C-N bond is iodine. Although the reaction is efficient, they suffered from the use of stoichiometric amounts reagents. Over the past few …
Cold-pressed black sesame (Sesamum indicum) meal is obtained on an industrial scale after oil removal. Most furofuran lignans were identified using α-glucosidase assay-guided isolation. Five new compounds were investigated. In addition, evaluation of α-glucosidase inhibitory effects, kinetic studies, and gastrointestinal digestion were studied.

Dextran is one of the most undesirable compounds in the sugar production industry since it can cause several deleterious problems in the presence of dextran. This work develops a novel material platform for dextran determination for the first time by improving the traditional phenol-sulfuric acid assay to a ready-to-use material system. The detection procedure is …

Superhydrophobic gold film embedded PDMS was employed as a novel platform for digital magnetofluidics. The device performance for lab-on-a-chip applications was investigated by demonstrating four types of reactions: (i) acid-based titration as a simple mixing reaction, (ii) colorimetric detection of phosphate based on the molybdenum blue method as a more complicated reaction, (iii) colorimetric detection …
