Hybrid acrylic nanocomposites with excellent transparency and hardness/toughness balance
(Elsevier B.V., 2020)
The composite nanofibers were used as reinforcement in acrylic polymer for the overall enhancement of thermo-mechanical properties, adhesion between fibers and matrix, and fracture toughness of the final nanocomposite since ...
Novel antimicrobial nanocomposite based on polypropylene non-woven fabric, biopolymer alginate and copper oxides nanoparticles
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2020)
The objective of this study was to develop novel antimicrobial nanocomposite material based on polypropylene (PP) non-woven fabric, biopolymer alginate and copper oxides nanoparticles. In order to introduce polar groups ...
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 ...
Electrokinetic and sorption properties of hydrogen peroxide treated flax fibers (Linum usitatissimum L.)
(Cellulose, 2021)
Hydrogen peroxide represents an ecologically and economically acceptable agent for bleaching of flax fibers. The influence of hydrogen peroxide treatment under different conditions, i.e. hydrogen peroxide concentrations ...
alpha-Tricalcium phosphate/fluorapatite based composite cements: Synthesis, mechanical properties, and biocompatibility
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2020)
Composite cements based on alpha-tricalcium phosphate (alpha-TCP) and nanostructured fluorapatite (FAp), alpha-TCP/FAp, appropriate for dental usage as root canal filling material, have been prepared with the improved ...
Design and thermo-economic evaluation of an integrated concentrated solar power-Desalination tri-generation system
(Energy Conversion and Management, 2021)
In this work, a concentrated solar power (CSP) tri-generation system that is capable of the simultaneous production of steam, power and freshwater is introduced. The abundantly available direct normal irradiance can ...
Spatial distribution, radiological risk assessment and positive matrix factorization of gamma-emitting radionuclides in the sediment of the Boka Kotorska Bay
(Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2021)
Surface sediment from the Boka Kotorska Bay (Adriatic Sea) was analyzed for the content of technogenic cesium (137Cs) and naturally occurring (40K, 226Ra, 232Th, 238U) radionuclides. The activity concentrations of the ...
Structural insight into the fiber dyeing ability: Pyridinium arylazo pyridone dyes
(Elsevier Ltd., 2021)
Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of nine 6-hydroxy-4-methyl-3-pyridinium-2-pyridone based azo dyes, wherein, eight of them being novel. Used building blocks ensured water solubility of six dyes and made ...
Recommendations for replacing PET on packaging, fiber, and film materials with biobased counterparts
(Green Chemistry, 2021)
This review sheds light on urgent questions that arise from the need to replace a polymer resin,-poly(ethylene terephthalate), which represents 7.7% market-share in the global plastic demand (Plastics-the Facts 2019), by ...
The chitosan-based bioactive composite coating on titanium
(Elsevier B.V., 2021)
This paper describes a promising electrophoretic deposition (EPD) approach for developing composite coatings based on chitosan with the additional components of hydroxyapatite, graphene, and gentamicin on titanium substrate. ...
