Viscoelastic properties and antimicrobial activity of cellulose fiber sheets impregnated with Ag nanoparticles
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2012)
A silver nanoparticle colloid was prepared by a modified Tollens method using D-glucose as the reduction agent. The obtained nanoparticles were used for the modification of pine, linter and recycled cellulose fibers. ...
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 ...
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 ...
Application of cellulose acetate for controlled release of thymol
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2016)
Cellulose acetate (CA) was investigated as a carrier towards development of material with controlled release of thymol as a natural substance with strong antibacterial properties using high pressure techniques. Effect of ...
Biodegradation of cotton and cotton/polyester with Ag/TiO2 nanoparticles in soil
(Carbohydrate Polymers, 2017)
This study discusses the biodegradation behavior of cotton and cotton/PET fabrics impregnated with Ag/TiO2 nanoparticles in soil. Biodegradation behavior was evaluated by standard test method ASTM 5988-03 based on determination ...
Functionalization of polyester fabrics with alginates and TiO2 nanoparticles
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2010)
This study was aimed to investigate the possibility of engineering the multifunctional textile nanocomposite material based on the polyester fabric modified with natural polysaccharide alginate and colloidal TiO2 nanoparticles. ...
Chitosan microbeads for encapsulation of thyme (Thymus serpyllum L.) polyphenols
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2014)
In this work chitosan microbeads were prepared by emulsion technique and loaded with thyme polyphenols by diffusion from an external aqueous solution of Thymus serpyllum L. The effects of concentrations of chitosan (1.5-3% ...
In situ chitosan gelation initiated by atmospheric plasma treatment
(Elsevier Ltd., 2014)
This work reports on the feasibility of atmospheric dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma as a novel synthetic pathway for the liquid phase gelation of chitosan. The DBD plasma chitosan gelation process did not ...
Amine activators influence on grafting reaction between methacrylic acid and starch
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2012)
The aim of this work was synthesis of grafted copolymers of poly(methacrylic acid) and starch (PMAA-graft-starch) with high percentage of grafting, G (%). The effect of temperature (55-75 degrees C), concentration of ...
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 ...
