The Removal of Phosphate from Aqueous Solutions by Sepiolite/ZrO2 Composites: Adsorption Behavior and Mechanism
(MDPI, 2023)
The sepiolite/ZrO2 composites were prepared by sepiolite (Sep) modification with zirconium propoxide in toluene at room temperature for 24 h (Sep–ZrI) or 95 °C for 4 h (sample Sep–ZrII). The efficiency of the obtained ...
Degradation Effect of Moisture on Mechanical Properties of Kevlar/PVB Composites with TiO2 Nanoparticles
(MDPI, 2024)
Kevlar fibers are widely used for industrial and military purposes due to their remarkable mechanical properties, such as their high tenacity and high strength-to-weight ratio. In this study, two-layered Kevlar composite ...
Optical switching of bent-core liquid crystals with azocinnamoyl units
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2023)
We report on observations of optical switching in bent-core liquid crystals possessing azocinnamoyl groups in both elongated side arms. UV-activated switching was observed in two of the synthesised materials, both of which ...
The surprising discovery of two new subterranean Leptodirini of the genus Spelaeobates Müller, 1901 (Coleoptera, Leiodidae, Cholevinae) from Croatia after more than a century
(Pensoft Publishers, 2023)
Two new subterranean leiodid taxa of the genus Spelaeobates Müller, 1901 from three pits in northern Dalmatia (Croatia), S. coriniensis sp. nov. and S. coriniensis nonveilleri ssp. nov., are described. The morphological ...
Exposure Factors in Health Risk Assessment of Heavy Metal(loid)s in Soil and Sediment
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023)
Heavy metal(loid)s (HMs) play an important role in economic development since they are used in various branches of industry. However, all industrial activities emit HMs into the environment, where they are no longer useful ...
Black Pine (Pinus nigra) Essential Oil as a Green Corrosion Inhibitor for Carbon Steel
(MDPI, 2023)
In this work, the essential oil of black pine (Pinus nigra J. F. Arnold) was used for the first time as a natural, ecological, and sustainable corrosion inhibitor for the acid cleaning of carbon steel. The essential oil ...
Thermodynamics of microbial consortia: Enthalpies and Gibbs energies of microorganism live matter and macromolecules of E. coli, G. oxydans, P. fluorescens, S. thermophilus and P. chrysogenum
(Elsevier B.V., 2024)
Every microorganism represents a biothermodynamic system, characterized by an empirical formula and thermodynamic properties of biosynthesis. Gibbs energy of biosynthesis influences the multiplication rate of a microorganism. ...
High Pressure Densities and Derived Thermodynamic Properties of Pure (1R)-(+)-α-Pinene, (1S)-(−)-β-Pinene, and Linalool: Experiment and Modeling
(American Chemical Society, 2024)
Terpenes usually found in plants have a wide range of applications, especially as additives in various types of fuels, and most recently in the aviation industry, where they can be blended with jet fuels or kerosene. In ...
Revalorization of Cotton and Cotton/Elastane Knitted Fabric Waste
(Korean Fiber Society, 2023)
The present paper demonstrates a simple way for revalorization of differently softened cotton and cotton/elastane knitted fabric waste collected from the textile industry. Such waste was used as an adsorbent for Congo Red ...
Return of the forgotten nightmare: Bordetella pertussis uses a more negative Gibbs energy of metabolism to outcompete its host organism
(Elsevier B.V., 2024)
Pertussis (whooping cough) has been nearly eradicated during the 20th century, first of all due to an organized and comprehensive vaccination campaign that lasted for decades. Generations of doctors educated in Serbia (and ...
