Mathematical modelling of essential oil SFE on the micro-scale - Classification of plant material
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2008)
This article reports the achievements of the micro-scale (secretory-structure-scale) mathematical modelling of essential oil isolation by supercritical carbon dioxide. Some new experimental and modelling results are ...
Determination of selected pesticides in fruit juices by matrix solid-phase dispersion and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2009)
A rapid and sensitive liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method has been developed for the analysis of acephate, monocrotophos, carbendazim, acetamiprid, dimethoate, simazine, carbofuran, atrazine, diuron, DNOC ...
Synthesis, characterization and electrocatalytic activity for ethanol oxidation of carbon supported Pt, Pt-Rh, Pt-SnO2 and Pt-Rh-SnO2 nanoclusters
(Elsevier Science Inc, New York, 2009)
Nanoclusters of Pt, Pt-Rh, Pt-SnO2 and Pt-Rh-SnO2 were successfully synthesized by polyol method and deposited on high-area carbon. HIRTEM and XRD analysis revealed two phases in the ternary Pt-Rh-SnO2/C catalyst: solid ...
The influence of silver content on antimicrobial activity and color of cotton fabrics functionalized with Ag nanoparticles
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2009)
The aim of this study was to examine the antimicrobial efficiency and color changes of cotton fabrics loaded with colloidal silver nanoparticles which were synthesized without using any stabilizer. The influence of colloidal ...
Micromechanical properties of a hydroxyapatite/poly-L-lactide biocomposite using nanoindentation and modulus mapping
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2007)
Biocomposites with ceramic fillers and polymer matrix are becoming attractive materials for bone tissue replacements. Nanoindentation has been used to locally characterize the surface mechanical properties of the ...
Dynamic mechanical properties and in vitro bioactivity of PHBHV/HA nanocomposite
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2007)
Biopolymer composite materials for potential medical applications are of current research interest. In this study, a nanocomposite based on bioresorbable polymer-poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBHV) was ...
Novel electrolyte for zinc-polyaniline batteries
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2006)
Electrochemical behavior of zinc and polyaniline (PANI) electrode polymerized from 0.1 M HCl and 0.1 M aniline on graphite electrode, in 0.2 M ZnCl2 and 0.50 M NH4Cl (chloride electrolyte) and with addition of 0.33 M ...
Extraction of hyperforin and adhyperforin from St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum L.) by supercritical carbon dioxide
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2008)
St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum L.) was extracted with supercritical carbon dioxide (SC CO2) under 10, 15 and 20 MPa and at 313 and 323 K. The influence Of SC CO2 density (400-800 kg/m(3)) was examined with respect ...
Phenomenological modelling tools for orthopaedic tissue engineering
(European Cells and Materials, 2008)
Biosorption of heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions by short hemp fibers: Effect of chemical composition
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2009)
Sorption potential of waste short hemp fibers for Pb2+, Cd2+ and Zn2+ ions from aqueous media was explored. In order to assess the influence of hemp fiber chemical composition on their heavy metals sorption potential, ...
