A differential multi-criteria analysis for the assessment of sustainability performance of European countries: Beyond country ranking
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
Sustainable development as a concept that aims to enhance the quality of life without affecting environment has been in focus in European policies since the last decade of 20th century. The objectives of EU Sustainable ...
High pressure densities and derived thermodynamic properties for the (n-heptane plus n-octane plus ethanol) ternary system
(Academic Press Ltd- Elsevier Science Ltd, London, 2017)
The density of the ternary system (n-heptane + n-octane + ethanol) at temperatures from (293.15 to 373.15) K and at pressures from (0.1 to 40) MPa was experimentally determined at twelve compositions and the results are ...
Experimental Investigation and Modeling of Thermophysical Properties of Pure Methyl and Ethyl Esters at High Pressures
(Amer Chemical Soc, Washington, 2017)
Densities, speeds of sound, and refractive indices of methyl laurate, ethyl laurate, ethyl myristate, and ethyl oleate in the temperature range 288.15-343.15 K and viscosities from 288.15 to 373.15 K were measured at ...
Antifungal activity of the onion (allium cepa l.) Essential oil against aspergillus, fusarium and penicillium species isolated from food
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2017)
The aim of this study was to investigate the antifungal potential of onion (Allium cepa L. cultivar Kupusinski jabuar) essential oil against fungal species isolated from food. Twenty one compounds were identified in the ...
Absorption boost of TiO2 nanotubes by doping with N and sensitization with CdS quantum dots
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
A process of obtaining N-doped TiO2 nanotubes sensitized by CdS nanoparticles is presented, including detailed characterizations performed along the synthesis. Transparent TiO2 films consisting of nanotubes, 2.5 mu m long ...
Nanomechanical and anti-stabbing properties of Kolon fabric composites reinforced with hybrid nanoparticles
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
In this study carbon nanotubes (CNT) and silica nanoparticles (SiO2) were added to enhance the dynamic mechanical and anti-stabbing properties of the polyurethaneip-aramid multiaxial fabric (Kolon fabric) composites for ...
Melt Extrudate Swell Behavior of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes Filled-Polypropylene Composites
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2017)
The extrudate swell behavior of polypropylene (PP) composite melts filled with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) was studied using a capillary rheometer in a temperature range from 190 to 230 degrees C and at various ...
New composites based on waste PET and non-metallic fraction from waste printed circuit boards: Mechanical and thermal properties
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
Influence of the addition of three different non-metallic fractions (NMF), obtained by processing of printed circuit boards (PCBs), on the mechanical and thermal properties of unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) based ...
Healing efficiency of polystyrene electrospun nanofibers with Grubbs' catalyst in thermosetting composite
(Sage Publications Ltd, London, 2017)
The study presents a novel method for the protection of Grubbs' catalyst, by incorporation in polystyrene fibres via electrospinning technique. Epoxy-glass fibre composite with embedded self-healing agents (polystyrene ...
Hydrogels reinforced with nanoclays with improved response rate
(Wiley-Blackwell, Hoboken, 2017)
Two series of semiinterpenetrating networks (SIPN) based on linear hydrophilic poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and thermoresponsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPA), physically crosslinked with inorganic clay, are presented. ...
