Development of comfortable and eco-friendly cellulose based textiles with improved sustainability
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2020)
Considering specific mechanical, hygienic and protective properties of hemp, as well as its positive
sustainability aspects, the raising role of hemp fibres in the textile sector can be expected. The limited
deformability ...
Analysis and experimental demonstration of forced periodic operation of an adiabatic stirred tank reactor: Simultaneous modulation of inlet concentration and total flow-rate
(Chemical Engineering Journal, 2021)
It is well known, that forced periodic operation possesses the potential for process improvements. Nevertheless, only a small number of applications is reported, due to complex realization, limited predictability and high ...
Electrokinetic and sorption properties of hydrogen peroxide treated flax fibers (Linum usitatissimum L.)
(Cellulose, 2021)
Hydrogen peroxide represents an ecologically and economically acceptable agent for bleaching of flax fibers. The influence of hydrogen peroxide treatment under different conditions, i.e. hydrogen peroxide concentrations ...
Effect of plasma treatment on chemical composition, structure and sorption properties of lignocellulosic hemp fibers (Cannabis sativa L.)
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2020)
Hemp fibers with different amount of hemicelluloses and lignin were subjected to atmospheric pressure dielectric barrier discharge under different conditions (40 W and 80 W power of discharge, const. time 120 s) in order ...
Hybrid acrylic nanocomposites with excellent transparency and hardness/toughness balance
(Elsevier B.V., 2020)
The composite nanofibers were used as reinforcement in acrylic polymer for the overall enhancement of thermo-mechanical properties, adhesion between fibers and matrix, and fracture toughness of the final nanocomposite since ...
Systematic review: gastric microbiota in health and disease
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2020)
Background Helicobacter pylori is the most infamous constituent of the gastric microbiota and its presence is the strongest risk factor for gastric cancer and other gastroduodenal diseases. Although historically the healthy ...
Novel antimicrobial nanocomposite based on polypropylene non-woven fabric, biopolymer alginate and copper oxides nanoparticles
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2020)
The objective of this study was to develop novel antimicrobial nanocomposite material based on polypropylene (PP) non-woven fabric, biopolymer alginate and copper oxides nanoparticles. In order to introduce polar groups ...
Twin nucleation from a single lt c plus a > dislocation in hexagonal close-packed crystals
(Acta Materialia, 2021)
Twinning plays an important role in governing the balance between strength and ductility in hexagonal-close-packed (HCP) metals. Here, we report a combined experimental and theoretical study of twin nucleation from a single ...
Tailoring the properties of waterborne polyurethanes by incorporating different content of poly(dimethylsiloxane)
(Progress in Organic Coatings, 2021)
A series of novel waterborne polyurethanes (WBPUs) was synthesized using alpha,omega-dihydroxypropyl poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS), isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI), 2,2-bis-(hydroxymethyl) propionic acid (DMPA) and triethylamine ...
alpha-Tricalcium phosphate/fluorapatite based composite cements: Synthesis, mechanical properties, and biocompatibility
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2020)
Composite cements based on alpha-tricalcium phosphate (alpha-TCP) and nanostructured fluorapatite (FAp), alpha-TCP/FAp, appropriate for dental usage as root canal filling material, have been prepared with the improved ...
