Preparation and characterization of bismuth germanium oxide (BGO) polymer composites
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2017)
Bismuth germanium oxide Bi12GeO20 (BGO) has very interesting electrical, optical and magnetic properties. In order to make devices based on this material more flexible, its powder was used for preparing polymer composites. ...
Functionalization of cotton with poly-NiPAAm/chitosan microgel. Part I. Stimuli-responsive moisture management properties
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2012)
Stimuli-responsive microgel, based on synthetic polymer (poly-NiPAAm) and biopolymer (chitosan), was incorporated onto cotton fabric surface by pad-dry-cure method using 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic acid (BTCA) as ...
Functionalization of cotton with poly-NiPAAm/chitosan microgel: Part II. Stimuli-responsive liquid management properties
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2012)
An innovative strategy for functional finishing of cotton involves application of stimuli-responsive surface modifying system based on temperature- and pH-responsive poly-NiPAAm/chitosan microgel. The stimuli-responsiveness ...
Alkali activated slag cement doped with Zn-rich electric arc furnace dust
(Journal of Materials Research and Technology-JMR&T, 2020)
Steel production in electric arc furnaces yielding formation of two waste materials, toxic electric arc furnace dust (EAFD) and non-hazardous electric arc furnace slag (EAFS). EAFD presents a potential hazard to the ...
Evaluation and improvement of antioxidant and antibacterial activities of supercritical extracts from clove buds
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2013)
For the first time, extracts from clove buds obtained by supercritical carbon dioxide extraction were screened for antioxidant and antibacterial activities. Additionally, antioxidant and antibacterial activities of extracts ...
The antimicrobial efficiency of silver activated sorbents
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2015)
This study is focused on the surface modifications of the materials that are used for antimicrobial water treatment. Sorbents of different origin were activated by Ag+-ions. The selection of the most appropriate materials ...
Sonophotocatalytic degradation of dye CI Acid Orange 7 by TiO2 and Ag nanoparticles immobilized on corona pretreated polypropylene non-woven fabric
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2015)
This study discusses the possibility of using corona pre-treated polypropylene (PP) non-woven fabric as a support for immobilization of colloidal TiO2 and Ag nanoparticles in order to remove dye C.I. Acid Orange 7 from ...
Simple One-Pot Synthesis of Fully Biobased Unsaturated Polyester Resins Based on Itaconic Acid
(Amer Chemical Soc, Washington, 2017)
For the preparation of fully biobased unsaturated polyester resins (UPRs), the replacement of styrene with alternate nonpetroleum-based monomers turned out to be one of the most challenging tasks. Its complexity lies in ...
Novel modified nanocellulose applicable as reinforcement in high-performance nanocomposites
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
The influence of modification and vacuum/supercritical CO2 (scCO(2)) drying methods on the surface properties, morphology and thermal stability of cellulose nanocrystals (NC) was presented in this study. Introduction of ...
Fischer-Tropsch synthesis product selectivity over an industrial iron-based catalyst: Effect of process conditions
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2016)
The effect of process conditions on product selectivity of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) over industrial iron-based catalyst (100 Fe/5 Cu/4.2 K/25 SiO2) was studied in a 1-L stirred tank slurry reactor. Experiments were ...
