Influence of chemical stress on sulfur-polymer composite structure
(New Developments in Polymer Composites Research, 2013)
Sulfur- polymer composites are high performance thermoplastic materials made of mineral aggregate, filler, and modified sulfur binder, instead of cement and water as in ordinary Portland cement- based composites at ...
Supercritical extraction of phloroglucinols from St. John's wort (Hypericum Perforatum L.) - Process optimization, mathematical modeling and antimicrobial activity
(Phytochemicals: Occurrence in Nature, Health Effects and Antioxidant Properties, 2013)
St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum L.) has been widely used as an anti-inflammatory and healing agent in traditional medicine. Some para-pharmaceutical products, prepared from the extract of St. John's Wort, are frequently ...
The impact of air pollution from the mining-metallurgical complex on the content of total sulfur in plant material and soil
(Air Quality: Environmental Indicators, Monitoring and Health Implications, 2013)
The area of Bor and the surroundings (Eastern Serbia) have beenknown for exploitation and processing of sulfide copper ores for morethan a hundred years. Long-term ore exploitation in the examined areahas made a great ...
Rheological behavior of hyperbranched polymers
(Rheology: Theory, Properties and Practical Applications, 2013)
