Novel Biocomposite Films Based on High Methoxyl Pectin Reinforced with Zeolite Y for Food Packaging Applications
(Foods, 2022)
Pectin is a natural biopolymer with broad applications in the food industry and it is suitable to prepare edible films to prolong food shelf-life. However, the main limitation of pectin-based films is their poor mechanical ...
Dispersive Solid–Liquid Microextraction Based on the Poly(HDDA)/Graphene Sorbent Followed by ICP-MS for the Determination of Rare Earth Elements in Coal Fly Ash Leachate
(MDPI, 2022)
A dispersive solid-phase microextraction (DSPME) sorbent consisting of poly(1,6-hexanedi-ol diacrylate)-based polymer microspheres, with embedded graphene microparticles (poly(HDDA)/g-raphene), was synthesized by microfluidic ...
Biomedical Applications of Thermosensitive Hydrogels for Controlled/Modulated Piroxicam Delivery
(MDPI, 2023)
The objectives of this study are the synthesis of thermosensitive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate), p(NiPAm-HPMet), hydrogels and the analysis of a drug-delivery system based on piroxicam, as a ...
Micro Nanofibrillated Cellulose as Functional Additive Supporting Processability of Surface-Active Mineral Suspensions: Exemplified by Pixel Coating of an NOx-Sorbent Layer
(MDPI, 2023)
Unlike established coating formulations, functional particulate coatings often demand the omission of polymer dispersant so as to retain surface functionality. This results in heterogeneous complex rheology. We take an ...
Methacrylate-Based Polymeric Sorbents for Recovery of Metals from Aqueous Solutions
(MDPI, 2022)
The industrialization and urbanization expansion have increased the demand for precious and rare earth elements (REEs). In addition, environmental concerns regarding the toxic effects of heavy metals on living organisms ...
Impact of Crosslinking on the Characteristics of Pectin Monolith Cryogels
(MDPI, 2022)
In this research, the pectin monoliths were prepared via the sol-gel process through different routes of crosslinking and additional freeze-drying. The crosslinking reaction was induced by the use of calcium ions in aqueous ...
Use of chènevotte, a valuable co-product of industrial hemp fiber, as adsorbent for copper ions: Kinetic studies and modeling
(Elsevier B.V., 2022)
In this study, a series of hemp shives (chènevotte) with different chemical compositions and properties, namely a raw (SHI-R), a washed with water (SHI-W), three samples chemically modified with KOH (SHI-OH), Na2CO3 (SHI-C) ...
Prospective of the LDI MS to characterization the corrosion products of silver-copper alloys on an example of the Ag-Cu-X (X- Zn, Pd, In) system
(Elsevier B.V., 2023)
This work presents the perspective of applying the laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (LDI MS) for characterization the anode film of the Ag60Cu26Zn14, Ag58.5Cu31.5Pd10, and Ag63Cu27In10 alloys (at high ...
Impact of Different Enzymatic Processes on Antioxidant, Nutritional and Functional Properties of Soy Protein Hydrolysates Incorporated into Novel Cookies
(MDPI, 2023)
Soy protein concentrate (SPC) was hydrolyzed using several commercial food-grade proteases (Alcalase, Neutrase, papain, Everlase, Umamizyme, Flavourzyme) and their combination to obtain promising ingredients in the manufacture ...
Obtaining Medical Textiles Based on Viscose and Chitosan/Zinc Nanoparticles with Improved Antibacterial Properties by Using a Dielectric Barrier Discharge
(MDPI, 2022)
This study aimed to obtain functional viscose textiles based on chitosan coatings with improved antibacterial properties and washing durability. For that reason, before functionalization with chitosan/zinc nanoparticles ...
