Predicting Low-Modulus Biocompatible Titanium Alloys Using Machine Learning
(MDPI, 2023)
Titanium alloys have been present for decades as the main components for the production of various orthopedic and dental elements. However, modern times require titanium alloys with a low Young’s modulus, and without the ...
A new setup for speed of sound measurements and experimental data for nanofluids Al2O3 or Ag with water or ethylene glycol
(Elsevier B.V., 2023)
The speed of sound of four different nanofluids consisting of Ag or Al2O3 nanoparticles and water or ethylene glycol base fluid is measured in the temperature range (298.15–343.15) K and at atmospheric pressure. One aim ...
Hydrothermally synthesized CeO2/ZnO nanocomposite photocatalysts for the enhanced degradation of Reactive Orange 16 dye
(Elsevier Ltd., 2023)
In this work, in order to improve the photocatalytic efficiency of ZnO, the optimal CeO2 content in ZnO powders was determined by varying the quantity of CeO2 from 0 to 10 mol%. The structural, microstructural, optical, ...
Non-woven sorbent based on recycled jute fibers for efficient oil spill clean-up: From production to biodegradation
(Elsevier B.V., 2023)
Loose assemblies of cellulose fibers could be employed in the clean-up of oil spills, but the difficulty to separate them from the spill after use makes them impractical. In an effort to tackle this issue, a non-woven ...
Advanced oxidation processes in the treatment of corn stalks
(Elsevier B.V., 2023)
The depletion of fossil fuel reserves and severe environmental damage, resulting in climate change and global warming lead to a necessary shift to alternative renewable resources. Lignocellulose is a valuable feedstock for ...
Estimating aerosol particle removal in indoor air by ion-enhanced deposition
(Elsevier Ltd, 2023)
Small air ions have the ability to charge airborne particles, thereby increasing their accumulation on surfaces. Indoor air purification by applying ionization uses electrostatic particle deposition. Respiratory pathogens, ...
The effect of gamma irradiation on the synthesis, microbiological sterility, and improvement of properties of PMMA-Al2O3 composite used in dental prosthesis manufacturing
(Elsevier Ltd, 2023)
Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is a polymer material widely used in dental applications due to its excellent biocompatibility, stable physicochemical properties, easy manipulation, and low cost. The combination of biocompatible ...
Palladium-copper bimetallic surfaces as electrocatalysts for the ethanol oxidation in an alkaline medium
(Elsevier B.V., 2023)
Two types of Cu-modified Pd catalysts supported on high area carbon were prepared: Pd nanoparticles modified with a sub-monolayer of underpotentially deposited Cu (Cu@Pd/C) and Pd-Cu alloy nanoparticles (Pd-Cu/C), and ...
Advanced technology for photocatalytic degradation of thiophanate-methyl: Degradation pathways, DFT calculations and embryotoxic potential
(Institution of Chemical Engineers, 2023)
This study focuses on establishing an efficient two-step technology, which includes: (1) consecutive adsorption-desorption, using cellulose-based membranes, bCells, and (2) photocatalytic degradation of the fungicide ...
Environmentally benign few-bilayer intumescent nanocoating for flame retardant enzyme/plasma modified polyester fabric
(Elsevier Ltd, 2023)
The flammability of polyester textiles remains a significant challenge that must be overcome to allow their use in a variety of clothing and upholstery applications. In this work, water-based polyelectrolyte solutions ...
