Functionalization of polyester fabrics with alginates and TiO2 nanoparticles
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2010)
This study was aimed to investigate the possibility of engineering the multifunctional textile nanocomposite material based on the polyester fabric modified with natural polysaccharide alginate and colloidal TiO2 nanoparticles. ...
Biodegradation of cotton and cotton/polyester with Ag/TiO2 nanoparticles in soil
(Carbohydrate Polymers, 2017)
This study discusses the biodegradation behavior of cotton and cotton/PET fabrics impregnated with Ag/TiO2 nanoparticles in soil. Biodegradation behavior was evaluated by standard test method ASTM 5988-03 based on determination ...
In situ chitosan gelation initiated by atmospheric plasma treatment
(Elsevier Ltd., 2014)
This work reports on the feasibility of atmospheric dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma as a novel synthetic pathway for the liquid phase gelation of chitosan. The DBD plasma chitosan gelation process did not ...
Chitosan microbeads for encapsulation of thyme (Thymus serpyllum L.) polyphenols
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2014)
In this work chitosan microbeads were prepared by emulsion technique and loaded with thyme polyphenols by diffusion from an external aqueous solution of Thymus serpyllum L. The effects of concentrations of chitosan (1.5-3% ...
Amine activators influence on grafting reaction between methacrylic acid and starch
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2012)
The aim of this work was synthesis of grafted copolymers of poly(methacrylic acid) and starch (PMAA-graft-starch) with high percentage of grafting, G (%). The effect of temperature (55-75 degrees C), concentration of ...
Fabrication and antibacterial properties of ZnO-alginate nanocomposites
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2012)
Alginate was used as a controlled environment for the growth of ZnO nanoparticles. The formation of nanostructured particles was confirmed by a blue shift in the onset of the optical absorption with respect to bulk ZnO. ...
Silver nanoparticles encapsulated in glycogen biopolymer Morphology, optical and antimicrobial properties
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2011)
The glycogen biopolymer from the bovine liver has been used as stabilization agent for the growth of silver nanoparticles The samples with various contents of silver were prepared by two different procedures that include ...
Microgel-based surface modifying system for stimuli-responsive functional finishing of cotton
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2010)
An innovative strategy for functional finishing of textile materials is based on the incorporation of a thin layer of surface modifying systems (SMS) in the form of stimuli-sensitive microgels or hydrogels. Since the ...

(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
This study discusses the biodegradation behavior of cotton and cotton/PET fabrics impregnated with Ag/TiO2 nanoparticles in soil. Biodegradation behavior was evaluated by standard test method ASTM 5988-03 based on determination ...
Molecular weight distribution and functional group profiles of TEMPO-oxidized lyocell fibers
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2013)
The effects of TEMPO-mediated oxidation, performed with NaClO, a catalytic amount of NaBr, and 2,2',6,6'-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxy radical (TEMPO), were studied on lyocell fibers by means of GPC using multiple detection ...
