Kinetics of sunflower and used vegetable oil methanolysis catalyzed by CaO·ZnO
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2013)
The kinetics of heterogeneous methanolysis of sunflower oil and used vegetable oil were studied at different temperatures, ranging from 60 to 96 degrees C using CaO center dot ZnO as catalyst (2 wt% on the basis of oil) ...
Influence of hemicelluloses and lignin content on structure and sorption properties of flax fibers (Linum usitatissimum L.)
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2018)
In this work, alkali and oxidative treatments were employed to obtain flax fibers with different content of hemicelluloses and lignin, in order to study the influence of chemical composition on structure and sorption ...
Silver incorporation on viscose and cotton fibers after air, nitrogen and oxygen DBD plasma pretreatment
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2013)
Dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) pretreatments in air, nitrogen and oxygen plasma of viscose and cotton fabrics with subsequent immobilization of silver were studied. Surface activation of treated fibers was evaluated ...
TEMPO-oxidized cotton as a substrate for trypsin immobilization: impact of functional groups on proteolytic activity and stability
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2017)
Cotton fibers containing different amounts of aldehyde and carboxyl groups were prepared by varying TEMPO oxidation conditions and then employed as carriers for trypsin immobilization. Depending on the functional group ...
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 ...
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) ...
Functionalization of cotton with poly-NiPAAm/chitosan microgel. Part I. Stimuli-responsive moisture management properties
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2012)
Stimuli-responsive microgel, based on synthetic polymer (poly-NiPAAm) and biopolymer (chitosan), was incorporated onto cotton fabric surface by pad-dry-cure method using 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic acid (BTCA) as ...
Novel kinetic model of the removal of divalent heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions by natural clinoptilolite
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2012)
Removal of heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions using zeolites is widely described by pseudo-second order kinetics although this model may not be valid under all conditions. In this work, we have extended approaches ...
Synthesis and characterization of poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate/itaconic acid/poly(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate) hydrogels
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2012)
Hydrogels based on 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), different poly(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylates (PEGDMA) and itaconic acid (IA) were prepared by free radical crosslinking copolymerization. The influence of different ...
Surface Analysis and Electrochemical Behavior of Aluminum Pretreated by Vinyltriethoxysilane Films in Mild NaCl Solution
(Electrochemical Soc Inc, Pennington, 2012)
Electrochemical characteristics, composition and surface morphology of vinyltriethoxysilane (VTES) coatings on aluminum were investigated. The silane coatings were deposited chemically, by immersion in 2 and 5% VTES, and ...
