Multifunctional jute fabrics obtained by different chemical modifications
(Springer, 2020)
The aim of the present research is first to reduce the jute fabric non-cellulosic components by using different chemical modifications (i.e. alkali and oxidative) and then to analyze their influence on the jute fabric ...
Towards sustainability of lactic acid and poly-lactic acid polymers production
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2019)
Lactic acid (LA) is a platform chemical which can be produced biotechnologically on agricultural residues, wastes and by-products and further used for production of biodegradable, biocompatible LA polymers. These polymers ...
Surface cleaning of raw cotton fibers with atmospheric pressure air plasma
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2018)
In this work, a possibility to use atmospheric pressure plasma treatment to clean cotton fibers surface was investigated. Dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) operating in air was used as plasma source. After plasma treatment, ...
In vitro evaluation of enzymatically derived blackcurrant extract as prebiotic cosmetic ingredient: extraction conditions optimization and effect on cutaneous microbiota representatives
(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2023)
Background Blackcurrant is a rich source of polyphenols with proven physiological activity, that have lately been classified as emerging prebiotics, making its extracts suitable for application in functional food and ...
Nitrogen plasma surface treatment for improving polar ink adhesion on micro/nanofibrillated cellulose films
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2019)
We find that nitrogen plasma treatment of micro/nanofibrillated cellulose films increases wettability of the surface by both liquid polar water and nonpolar hexadecane. The increased wetting effect is more pronounced in ...
Environmental and take-home lead exposure in children living in the vicinity of a lead battery smelter in Serbia
(Academic Press Inc., 2018)
Blood lead levels (BLLs) have been falling steadily worldwide due to restricted use of lead (Pb) and its compounds. although they remain above preindustrial Pb levels. Elevated BLL can still be found in children living ...
Structural Elucidation of Enzymatically Synthesized Galacto-oligosaccharides Using Ion-Mobility Spectrometry Tandem Mass Spectrometry
(Amer Chemical Soc, Washington, 2016)
Galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) represent a diverse group of well-characterized prebiotic ingredients derived from lactose in a reaction catalyzed with beta-galactosidases. Enzymatic transgalactosylation results in a mixture ...
Mesoporous Silica and Organosilica Nanomaterials as UV-Blocking Agents
(Amer Chemical Soc, Washington, 2018)
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) and periodic mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles containing bridging benzene (PMOBTB) and ethane (PMOBTE) moieties are synthesized, characterized, and evaluated for application in ...
Development of material with strong antimicrobial activity by high pressure CO2 impregnation of polyamide nanofibers with thymol
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2018)
This study discusses the potential of high pressure (supercritical and liquid) CO2 impregnation to load electrospun polyamide nanofibers with thymol as an antimicrobial agent. The influence of selected pressures and ...
Obtaining jute fabrics with enhanced sorption properties and "closing the loop" of their lifecycle
(Industrial Crops and Products, 2021)
The objective of this investigation was to obtain jute fabrics with enhanced sorption properties (by using simple and cost-effective alkali and oxidative modifications) and a long life cycle. The applied alkali modifications ...
