Nanomaterial with High Antimicrobial Efficacy-Copper/Polyaniline Nanocomposite
(Amer Chemical Soc, Washington, 2015)
This study explores different mechanisms of antimicrobial action by designing hybrid nanomaterials that provide a new approach in the fight against resistant microbes. Here, we present a cheap copper-polyaniline (Cu-PANI) ...
Biointerface dynamics - Multi scale modeling considerations
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2015)
Irreversible nature of matrix structural changes around the immobilized cell aggregates caused by cell expansion is considered within the Ca-alginate microbeads. It is related to various effects: (1) cell-bulk surface ...
Ultra-high breakdown field varistors prepared from individually synthesized nanoprecursors
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2015)
Previously synthesized nanocrystalline ZnO doped with cobalt and manganese, Bi2O3 and Sb2O3 were the precursors for high voltage varistors preparation. Varistor ceramics were sintered at 750 degrees C, 770 degrees C or 900 ...
Physical-mechanical and microstructural properties of alkali-activated fly ash-blast furnace slag blends
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2015)
This paper investigated physical mechanical and microstructural properties of alkali-activated binders based on blends of fly ash (FA) and blast furnace slag (BFS). FA BFS blends were alkali-activated with sodium silicate ...
Efficiency of sepiolite in broilers diet as uranium adsorbent
(Springer, New York, 2015)
The use of phosphate mineral products in animal nutrition, as a major source of phosphor and calcium, can lead to uranium entering the food chain. The aim of the present study was to determine the protective effect of ...
Arsenic in Agricultural Soils of a Historically Mined and Industrial Region of Southern Serbia and Northern Kosovo: Bioavailability and Uptake by Plants Species Zea mays L. and Solanum tuberosum L.
(Taylor & Francis Inc, Philadelphia, 2015)
This article reports the results of a study focused on the presence and bioavailability of arsenic in agricultural soil in the mining and industrial regions of northern Kosovo and southern Serbia, as well as uptake and ...
Rheological Properties of Hydroxyl-Terminated and End-Capped Aliphatic Hyperbranched Polyesters
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2015)
The rheological behavior of two series of aliphatic hyperbranched (HB) polyesters, based on 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl) propionic acid (bis-MPA) and di-trimethylol propane (Di-TMP) as a tetrafunctional core, was studied. The ...
The influence of calcium-carbonate and yeast extract addition on lactic acid fermentation of brewer's spent grain hydrolysate
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2015)
Brewer's spent grain (BSG) is the major by-product of the brewing industry, representing around 85% of the total. by-products generated. In this study BSG hydrolysate was produced using optimal conditions. Hydrolysates ...
Keratin-polyethylene oxide bio-nanocomposites reinforced with ultrasonically functionalized graphene
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015)
Polyethylene oxide (PEO) functionalized graphene (f-G) was prepared by ultrasonication of pristine graphene in PEO aqueous solution. The feasible sonication protocol of PEO degradation and graphene functionalization enabled ...
Influence of Preparation Conditions of Alumina-Based Refractory on the Morphological Parameters of Surface Defects
(Wiley-Blackwell, Hoboken, 2015)
The surface defects on alumina-based refractory arising from thermal shock were studied using image analysis and statistical tools. Alumina-based refractory specimens were prepared by adding a different amount of fibers ...
