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 ...
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, ...
Determination of glass temperature of polymers by inverse gas chromatography
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2008)
Inverse gas chromatography (IGC) is an attractive technique for polymer characterization due to possible simultaneous determination of various physicochemical properties of polymer systems merely from retention times of ...
Wall-to-bed heat transfer in vertical hydraulic transport and in particulate fluidized beds
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2008)
Wall-to-bed heat transfer in hydraulic transport and in particulate fluidized beds of spherical particles was studied. Experiments were performed by spherical glass particles of 0.80-2.98 mm in diameter with water in a ...
Influence of microenvironmental conditions on hybridoma cell growth inside the alginate-poly-L-lysine microcapsule
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2007)
A mathematical model was formulated to describe hybridoma cell growth within the alginate-poly-L-lysine (alginate-PLL) microcapsules during air-lift bioreactor cultivation. Model development was based on experimentally ...
A study of the photocatalytic degradation of metamitron in ZnO water suspensions
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2009)
The photocatalytic degradation of the herbicide metamitron in water using ZnO under Osram ULTRA-VITALUX (R) lamp light was studied. The effect of the operational parameters such as initial concentration of catalyst, initial ...
Alumina/silica supported K2CO3 as a catalyst for biodiesel synthesis from sunflower oil
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2009)
The new type of catalyst for fatty acid methyl esters (FAME or biodiesel) synthesis with K2CO3 as active component on alumina/silica support was synthesized using sol-gel method. Corresponding catalyst (xerogel) was prepared ...
