Micro and nanoscale morphology characterization of compatibilized polymer blends by microscopy
(Compatibilization of Polymer Blends: Micro and Nano Scale Phase Morphologies, Interphase Characteriz, 2019)
Polymer blends are mostly immiscible at a molecular level due to their large molecular mass. Therefore, the study of the way how two polymers are mixed together is of great interest. The properties of the polymer blend are ...
High pressure modified cotton in wound dressing applications
(Cotton Fibres: Characteristics, Uses and Performance, 2017)
The use of cotton in wound dressing applications is discussed in this chapter. Cotton gauze provides flexibility, controlled adherence to the surrounding tissue, gas permeability, durability and absorbance of fluids exuded ...
Vegetable oil as a feedstock for biodiesel synthesis
(Vegetable Oil: Properties, Uses and Benefits, 2016)
Limited reserves of fossil fuels as well as the growing concern for the environment, has led to a worldwide search for renewable energy sources, among which biodiesel, a mixture of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME), is one ...
Antimicrobial Bioactive Band-Aids with Prolonged and Controlled Action
(Medical and Healthcare Textiles, 2010)
The paper discusses the antimicrobial bioactive band-aids, a modem means of wound management and healing, which are effective against a wide spectrum of microorganisms. Ion-exchange fibres and nonwoven textile materials ...
Approaches to mathematical modeling of tissue engineering systems
(Cell and Tissue Engineering, 2012)
Tissue engineering (TE) is one of the new strategies aiming to address the problem of tissue failure by in vitro cultivation of functional tissue equivalents (please see the Chapter 1). Ideally, engineered tissues can serve ...
Possibilities of improving the bioethanol production from cornmeal by yeast saccharomyces cerevisiae var. ellipsoideus
(Causes, Impacts and Solutions to Global Warming, 2013)
Bioethanol has become one of the most promising biofuels today. In Serbia, the most suitable and available raw materials are conventional starch-based energy crops such as corn and triticale. Bioethanol production by ...
Removal of Synthetic Dyes from Wastewaters Using Horseradish Peroxidase
(New York: Nova Science Publishers, Inc., 2019)
Horseradish peroxidase is a heme-containing plant enzyme (HRP; EC 1.11.1.7) with a wide range of biotechnological and medical applications. In combination with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as an oxidant HRP can be used in the ...
The re-use potential of espresso spent coffee grounds: Optimization of microwave-assisted extraction of polyphenols by use of response surface methodology and their effects on platelet function - pilot study
(Coffee: Production, Consumption and Health Benefits, 2016)
A huge amount of espresso spent coffee grounds (SCG) are obtained as a waste product during the preparation of coffee beverages (cialdes, K-cups and in metallic filters). Although considered a waste and an ecological threat, ...
Health hazards of heavy metal pollution
(Nova Science Publishers, Inc., 2016)
The global population growth, urbanization and the increased energy demand led to serious changes in the environment. Numerous anthropogenic activities release a variety of toxic and potentially toxic pollutants into the ...
Potential of encapsulated phytochemicals in hydrogel particles
(Nanomaterials for Drug Delivery and Therapy, 2019)
In the recent past, bioactive compounds, especially naturally antioxidants, have occupied the main research focus, due to their high biological activity. Plant polyphenols are one of the most potent antioxidants. Encapsulation ...
