Possibility of Using Vitreous Enamel Waste in the Construction Industry as the Concept of Cleaner Production
(MDPI, 2023)
Waste vitreous enamels from the heating device production process were used for partial replacement of cement in the mortar and concrete production industry. This waste, due to the high content of heavy metals, is classified ...
Easy, Flexible and Standardizable Anti-Nascent Biofilm Activity Assay to Assess Implant Materials
(MDPI, 2023)
Medical implants have improved the quality of life of many patients. However, surgical intervention may eventually lead to implant microbial contamination. The aims of this research were to develop an easy, robust, ...
Occurrence, Source Apportionment, and Health Risk Assessment of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Soil of Urban Parks in a Mid-Sized City
(Institute for Ionics, 2023)
Public parks and open playgrounds are the most important compartments of the urban environment due to their role in sustaining the well-being of city residents, primarily through relaxation and recreation. To determine the ...
Kinetic Model for Galacto-Oligosaccharide Synthesis
(American Chemical Society, 2022)
A new micro-kinetic model is proposed for galacto-oligosaccharide (GOS) synthesis with β-galactosidase from Aspergillus oryzae. Several kinetic models with similar reaction mechanisms, i.e., steps and kinetic constants, ...
Preparation and Characterization of Geopolymers Based on Metakaolin with the Addition of Organic Phase PVA
(MDPI, 2023)
Geopolymers have excellent physical and mechanical properties, so they can be used as a substitute for ordinary polymers. Geopolymers are ceramic materials, which exhibit the property of brittleness, which can be a limitation ...
One-Pot Syntheses of PET-Based Plasticizer and Tetramethyl Thiuram Monosulfide (TMTS) as Vulcanization Accelerator for Rubber Production
(MDPI, 2023)
Styrene-butadiene (SBR) and acrylonitrile-butadiene (NBR) rubber blends with tetramethyl thiuram disulfide (TMTD) and tetramethyl thiuram monosulfide (TMTS) accelerators and environmentally friendly plasticizers, obtained ...
Cerium lactate as green corrosion inhibitor of AA2024 alloy
(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2023)
This paper evaluated the inhibitory effect of Ce-chloride and Na-lactate mixture on the AA2024 aluminum alloy in 0.1 M NaCl solution. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was applied for testing the general corrosion ...
Antimicrobial and UV protective chitosan/lignin multilayer nanocoating with immobilized silver nanoparticles
(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2023)
Poor antimicrobial activity and lack of protection against UV irradiation are weaknesses of cotton textiles. In an attempt to impart superior antimicrobial and UV-protective properties to cotton, layer-by-layer deposition ...
Microwave-induced synthesis of zinc-phthalocyanine with improved photosensitizing potential
(Materials Letters, 2023)
In this paper, an efficient and environmentally friendly approach to the microwave-assisted synthesis of zincphthalocyanine (ZnPc) was developed to compare the features and changes in morphology, phase, and opticalproperties ...
Mechanical Properties of Electrolytically Produced Copper Coatings Reinforced with Pigment Particles
(MDPI, 2023)
Copper from sulfate baths without and with added inorganic pigment particles based on strontium aluminate doped with europium and dysprosium (SrAl2O4: Eu2+, Dy3+) was electrodeposited on a brass cathode by a galvanostatic ...
