Utilization of gamma and e-beam irradiation in the treatment of waste sludge from a drinking water treatment plant
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2020)
An increasing production of drinking water and a significant amount of waste in the form of treated sludge can lead to a serious environmental problem. The high organic content in the sludge, together with the high summer ...
Spray drying of Gentiana asclepiadea L. root extract: Successful encapsulation into powders with preserved stability of bioactive compounds
(Industrial Crops and Products, 2021)
Willow gentian as a source of bitter compounds is traditionally used for digestive disorders. Gentiana root extract was spray dried using five different carriers (maltodextrin, whey protein, pectin, starch, gelatine) at ...
Principal component analysis of morphological descriptors for monitoring surface defects induced by thermal shock
(Journal of the European Ceramic Society, 2021)
Pattern recognition techniques are applied to various morphological descriptors to monitor the formation and propagation of surface defects of materials subjected to thermal shock. A low-cement high-alumina castable was ...
A novel method of preparing the silver chloride cathode for the magnesium seawater activated primary cell
(Journal of Power Sources, 2021)
The novel method based on the inexpensive and fast modified successive ion layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method of preparing silver chloride cathode on the carbon felt is developed. The electrochemical behavior of ...
Antioxidant activity of PLA/PCL films loaded with thymol and/or carvacrol using scCO2 for active food packaging
(Food Packaging and Shelf Life, 2020)
Present study was aimed to produce biodegradable films with antioxidant activity for active food packaging. Films of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) with 5 wt% of poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL), denoted as PLA-5, were loaded with ...
Composite poly(DL-lactide-co-glycolide)/poly(acrylic acid) hydrogels synthesized using UV and gamma irradiation: comparison of material properties
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2020)
Composite hydrogels capable of controlled drug delivery via ion exchange are an interesting group of materials for the construction of implantable drug reservoirs for electrically charged drugs. In this study, we synthesized ...
Electrochemical testing of noble metal dental alloys: The influence of their chemical composition on the corrosion resistance
(Corrosion Science, 2021)
Platinum and nine commercial dental alloys with the contents of noble metals ranging from 27 wt.% to 97.6 wt. % were investigated by the procedure described in the Standard ISO 10271:2009, Electrochemical testing was ...
Mechanism of mediated alkali peroxide oxidation and triplet versus singlet oxygen formation
(Nature Research, 2021)
Aprotic alkali metal-O-2 batteries face two major obstacles to their chemistry occurring efficiently, the insulating nature of the formed alkali superoxides/peroxides and parasitic reactions that are caused by the highly ...
Sterilized plum pomace biochar as a low-cost effective sorbent of environmental contaminants
(Journal of Water Process Engineering, 2023)
The removal of environmental pollutants is significant because of their harmful effects on living organisms. Biochar is favorable as a natural adsorbent of environmental pollutants due to its advantages, such as environmental ...
Green pH- and magnetic-responsive hybrid hydrogels based on poly(methacrylic acid) and Eucalyptus wood nanocellulose for controlled release of ibuprofen
(Cellulose, 2021)
pH- and magnetic-sensitive hybrid hydrogels based on poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA), nanocellulose (NC), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and magnetite particles (MN) were prepared as ibuprofen delivery system. NC was isolated ...
