Micro Nanofibrillated Cellulose as Functional Additive Supporting Processability of Surface-Active Mineral Suspensions: Exemplified by Pixel Coating of an NOx-Sorbent Layer
(MDPI, 2023)
Unlike established coating formulations, functional particulate coatings often demand the omission of polymer dispersant so as to retain surface functionality. This results in heterogeneous complex rheology. We take an ...
Use of chènevotte, a valuable co-product of industrial hemp fiber, as adsorbent for copper ions: Kinetic studies and modeling
(Elsevier B.V., 2022)
In this study, a series of hemp shives (chènevotte) with different chemical compositions and properties, namely a raw (SHI-R), a washed with water (SHI-W), three samples chemically modified with KOH (SHI-OH), Na2CO3 (SHI-C) ...
The Effective Pollination Period of European Plum (Prunus domestica L.) Cultivars in Western Norway
(MDPI, 2022)
This study evaluated the effective pollination period (EPP) in four European plum (Prunus domestica L.) cultivars ('Mallard', 'Edda', 'Jubileum', and 'Reeves') during two years (2018-2019) under the environmental conditions ...
Determination of Mechanical Properties of Epoxy Composite Materials Reinforced with Silicate Nanofillers Using Digital Image Correlation (DIC)
(MDPI, 2022)
In this study, silicate nanofillers; dicalcium silicate, magnesium silicate, tricalcium silicate, and wollastonite; were synthesized using four different methods and incorporated into the epoxy resin to improve its mechanical ...
The Effects of Irrigation, Topping, and Interrow Spacing on the Yield and Quality of Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) Fibers in Temperate Climatic Conditions
(MDPI, 2022)
The study was aimed at determining the most suitable irrigation schedule program for hemp grown for fibers by using evaporation from the free water surface (Eo), measured by a Class A pan and related crop plant coefficient ...
Recovering the Soybean Hulls after Peroxidase Extraction and Their Application as Adsorbent for Metal Ions and Dyes
(Hindawi Limited, 2023)
This study is aimed at extending the soybean hulls' lifetime by their utilization as an adsorbent for metal ions (Cd2+ and Cu2+) and dyes (Reactive Yellow 39 (RY 39) and Acid Blue 225 (AB 225)). ATR-FTIR spectroscopy, ...
Magneto-Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Nd-Fe-B-Epoxy-Bonded Composite Materials
(MDPI, 2023)
Polymer-bonded magnets are a class of composite material that combines the magnetic properties of metal particles and the molding possibility of a polymeric matrix. This class of materials has shown huge potential for ...
Berries Pomace Valorization: From Waste to Potent Antioxidants and Emerging Skin Prebiotics
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2024)
Fruit pomaces are agro-industrial by-products obtained in large quantities by the juice production industry, hence their reutilization is a suitable way to minimize environmental impact by transforming them into different ...
Ultrasonication for production of nanoliposomes with encapsulated soy protein concentrate hydrolysate: Process optimization, vesicle characteristics and in vitro digestion
(Elsevier Ltd., 2022)
This study presents the state-of-art research about the assembly of soy proteins in nanocarriers, liposomes, and its design includes different physicochemical strategies and approaches: two-step enzymatic hydrolysis of soy ...
Multivariate Assessment and Risk Ranking of Pesticide Residues in Citrus Fruits
(MDPI, 2023)
Pesticides are extensively used in the cultivation and postharvest protection of citrus fruits, therefore continuous monitoring and health risk assessments of their residues are required. This study aimed to investigate ...
