Preparation and characterization of bismuth germanium oxide (BGO) polymer composites
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2017)
Bismuth germanium oxide Bi12GeO20 (BGO) has very interesting electrical, optical and magnetic properties. In order to make devices based on this material more flexible, its powder was used for preparing polymer composites. ...
Re-formation of metastable epsilon-Fe2O3 in post-annealing of Fe2O3/SiO2 nanostructure: Synthesis, computational particle shape analysis in micrographs and magnetic properties
(Ceramics International, 2017)
Several Fe2O3/SiO2 nanostructures were synthesized by the combination of the microemulsion and a sol-gel methods. Based on X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and magnetic measurements (giant coercivity similar to 2.13 T) we ...
Development of low calorie jams with increased content of natural dietary fibre made from tomato pomace
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
In this study, four jam formulations were developed, starting with the basic formulation (Jam 1) containing sucrose and without added pectin. Sucrose was partially (50%) replaced by stevioside in formulations of Jam 2 and ...
Pectin-polyvinylpyrrolidone films: A sustainable approach to the development of biobased packaging materials
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
In this work, the new biodegradable blend films composed of natural polymer pectin and synthetic polymer polyvinylpyrrolidone were obtained through casting process. The concentration of glycerol in all formulations was ...
Simple One-Pot Synthesis of Fully Biobased Unsaturated Polyester Resins Based on Itaconic Acid
(Amer Chemical Soc, Washington, 2017)
For the preparation of fully biobased unsaturated polyester resins (UPRs), the replacement of styrene with alternate nonpetroleum-based monomers turned out to be one of the most challenging tasks. Its complexity lies in ...
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 ...
Highly ordered macroporous gamma-alumina prepared by a modified sol-gel method with a PMMA microsphere template for enhanced Pb2+, Ni2+ and Cd2+ removal
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
The adsorption performance of three-dimensionally ordered macroporous (3DOM) gamma-alumina was investigated for enhanced Pb2+, Ni2+ and Cd2+ removal. The synthesis was based on a modified sol-gel method using a colloidal ...
Multi-criteria sustainability analysis of thermal power plant Kolubara-A Unit 2
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
The paper presents a possible approach for creating business decisions based on multi-criteria analysis. Seven options for a possible revitalization of the thermal power plant "Kolubara"-A Unit No. 2 with energy indicators ...
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 ...
The influence of fluorine doping on the structural and electrical properties of the LiFePO4 powder
(Elsevier, 2017)
Low intrinsic electronic conductivity is the main disadvantage of LiFePO4 when used as a cathode material in lithium ion batteries. The paper offers experimental proofs of the theoretical prediction that fluorine doping ...
