In Vitro and In Vivo Biocompatible and Controlled Resveratrol Release Performances of HEMA/Alginate and HEMA/Gelatin IPN Hydrogel Scaffolds
(MDPI, 2022)
Scaffold hydrogel biomaterials designed to have advantageous biofunctional properties, which can be applied for controlled bioactive agent release, represent an important concept in biomedical tissue engineering. Our goal ...
Degradable 2-Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate/Gelatin/Alginate Hydrogels Infused by Nanocolloidal Graphene Oxide as Promising Drug Delivery and Scaffolding Biomaterials
(Gels, 2022)
The design and evaluation of novel 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate/gelatin/alginate/graphene oxide hydrogels as innovative scaffolding biomaterials, which concurrently are the suitable drug delivery carrier, was proposed. The ...
Supercritical CO2 Impregnation of Thymol in Thermoplastic Starch-Based Blends: Chemico-Physical Properties and Release Kinetics
(MDPI, 2022)
The aim of the present study was to investigate starch-based materials, prepared in an environmentally friendly way and from renewable resources, suitable for the development of biodegradable active food packaging. For ...
Influence of Ultrasonic and Chemical Pretreatments on Quality Attributes of Dried Pepper (Capsicum annuum)
(MDPI, 2023)
This study investigates the effects of ultrasound, in combination with chemical pretreatments, on the quality attributes (total phenolic and carotenoid content, antioxidant activity (2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl assay ...
Design and characterization of reversible thermodynamic SMPU-based fabrics with improved comfort properties
(SAGE Publications Ltd., 2023)
In recent years, great efforts have been made to research and develop advanced thermodynamic textiles that can change their thermal behavior in response to external stimuli. More specifically, shape memory alloys and shape ...
Ru–Co alloy coatings electrodeposited on a MAX phase substrate as efficient catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction
(Elsevier Ltd., 2024)
This study investigates the structure, electrochemical behavior and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance of electrodeposited Ru–Co alloy coatings. The alloys were prepared from a 0.75 M Co2+ + 0.025 M Ru3+ solution ...
Influence of Novel SrTiO3/MnO2 Hybrid Nanoparticles on Poly(methyl methacrylate) Thermal and Mechanical Behavior
(MDPI, 2024)
While dental poly methyl methacrylate(PMMA) possesses distinctive qualities such as ease of fabrication, cost-effectiveness, and favorable physical and mechanical properties, these attributes alone are inadequate to impart ...
Ecological and Health Risks Attributed to Rare Earth Elements in Coal Fly Ash
(MDPI, 2024)
The occurrence and distribution of yttrium and rare earth elements (REYs), along with major elements and heavy metal(loid)s (HMs) in coal fly ash (CFA) from five coal-fired power plants (CFPPs), were analyzed, and the ...
C-doped TiO2 nanotubes with pulsed laser deposited Bi2O3 films for photovoltaic application
(Ceramics International, 2022)
Anodization was used to obtain a nanotubular TiO2 photoanode on F-SnO2 glass. Subsequent annealing in the CH4 atmosphere promoted the C-doping and improved the crystallinity of the TiO2 nanotubes. The pulsed laser deposition ...
Effect of Moisture on the Mechanical Properties of Wood–Plastic Composites Hybridized with Metal Grid Layers
(MDPI, 2023)
Wood–plastic composites (WPCs) are some of the most common modern composite materials for interior and exterior design that combine natural waste wood properties and the molding possibility of a thermoplastic polymer binder. ...
