Production of bioethanol from pre-treated cotton fabrics and waste cotton materials
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
This study highlights the potential of cotton fabric as a promising feedstock for the production of bioethanol as renewable biofuel. The effect of corona pre-treatment of non-mercerized and mercerized cotton fabrics on ...
Influence of different pore-forming agents on wollastonite microstructures and adsorption capacities
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
In this study, porous macro- and micro-cellular wollastonite-based ceramics was synthesized. A ceramic precursor, methylhydrocyclosiloxane, together with micro-sized CaCO3, was used as a starting material. After 20 min of ...
Highly ordered macroporous gamma-alumina prepared by a modified sol-gel method with a PMMA microsphere template for enhanced Pb2+, Ni2+ and Cd2+ removal
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
The adsorption performance of three-dimensionally ordered macroporous (3DOM) gamma-alumina was investigated for enhanced Pb2+, Ni2+ and Cd2+ removal. The synthesis was based on a modified sol-gel method using a colloidal ...
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 ...
Aramid hybrid composite laminates reinforced with inorganic fullerene-like tungsten disulfide nanoparticles
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
Combination of phenolic resin with poly (vinyl butyral), PVB, is often used as impregnation of aramid fabrics in prepregs for the ballistic protection products. In this study an effect of inorganic fullerene-like tungsten ...
Bioactive glass-ceramics prepared by powder sintering and crystallization of polyphosphate glass containing strontium
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
Melt-quenching method was employed for obtaining a glass-ceramic with the following composition 42P(2)O(5). 40CaO.5SrO.10Na(2)O.3TiO(2) (mol%) glass. The crystallization and sintering behavior of glass have been studied ...
Antioxidant edible films based on chitosan and starch containing polyphenols from thyme extracts
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
The aim of this study was to analyse the antioxidant activity of different polymeric matrices based on chitosan and starch, incorporating a thyme extract (TE) rich in polyphenols. TE provided the films with remarkable ...
Optimization of the process of Cu(II) sorption by mechanically treated Prunus persica L. - Contribution to sustainability in food processing industry
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
This paper presents an eco-friendly approach for minimizing heavy metal pollution, offering food waste valorization and energy source at the same time. It focuses on Cu(II) sorption by low cost sorbent developed by mechanical ...
Synthesis of core-shell hematite (α-Fe2O3) nanoplates: Quantitative analysis of the particle structure and shape, high coercivity and low cytotoxicity
(Applied Surface Science, 2017)
Hematite core-shell nanoparticles with plate-like morphology were synthesized using a one-step hydrothermal synthesis. An XRPD analysis indicates that the sample consist of single-phase α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles. SEM and TEM ...
