Sr,Mg co-doping of calcium hydroxyapatite: Hydrothermal synthesis, processing, characterization and possible application as dentin substitutes
(Ceramics International, 2022)
The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of binary Sr, Mg ion-doping compared to the single-ion doping effects on the phase composition and morphology of hydrothermally obtained calcium hydroxyapatite (HAP) ...
The Influence of Isoenzyme Composition and Chemical Modification on Horseradish Peroxidase@ZIF-8 Biocomposite Performance
(MDPI, 2022)
Many articles in the literature deal with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) biomineralization, but none pay attention to the isoenzyme composition of commercial HRP or the influence of the carbohydrate component of the protein ...
Berries Pomace Valorization: From Waste to Potent Antioxidants and Emerging Skin Prebiotics
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2024)
Fruit pomaces are agro-industrial by-products obtained in large quantities by the juice production industry, hence their reutilization is a suitable way to minimize environmental impact by transforming them into different ...
Biodegradable Cellulose/Polycaprolactone/Keratin/Calcium Carbonate Mulch Films Prepared in Imidazolium-Based Ionic Liquid
(MDPI, 2023)
Ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride [BMIM][Cl] was used to prepare cellulose (CELL), cellulose/polycaprolactone (CELL/PCL), cellulose/polycaprolactone/keratin (CELL/PCL/KER), and cellulose/polycaprolactone/ ...
Supercritical CO2 Impregnation of Thymol in Thermoplastic Starch-Based Blends: Chemico-Physical Properties and Release Kinetics
(MDPI, 2022)
The aim of the present study was to investigate starch-based materials, prepared in an environmentally friendly way and from renewable resources, suitable for the development of biodegradable active food packaging. For ...
Mechanical properties and thermal shock resistance of anorthite ceramics obtained by slip casting
(Elsevier Ltd., 2024)
Anorthite ceramics (CaAl2Si2O8) was obtained by slip casting of water suspension of kaolin (Al2O3·2SiO2·2H2O) and CaCO3 as a source of CaO. A relative density of 87 % of the theoretical density was achieved after a 3-h-long ...
Influence of Ultrasonic and Chemical Pretreatments on Quality Attributes of Dried Pepper (Capsicum annuum)
(MDPI, 2023)
This study investigates the effects of ultrasound, in combination with chemical pretreatments, on the quality attributes (total phenolic and carotenoid content, antioxidant activity (2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl assay ...
Ecological and Health Risks Attributed to Rare Earth Elements in Coal Fly Ash
(MDPI, 2024)
The occurrence and distribution of yttrium and rare earth elements (REYs), along with major elements and heavy metal(loid)s (HMs) in coal fly ash (CFA) from five coal-fired power plants (CFPPs), were analyzed, and the ...
C-doped TiO2 nanotubes with pulsed laser deposited Bi2O3 films for photovoltaic application
(Ceramics International, 2022)
Anodization was used to obtain a nanotubular TiO2 photoanode on F-SnO2 glass. Subsequent annealing in the CH4 atmosphere promoted the C-doping and improved the crystallinity of the TiO2 nanotubes. The pulsed laser deposition ...
Effect of Moisture on the Mechanical Properties of Wood–Plastic Composites Hybridized with Metal Grid Layers
(MDPI, 2023)
Wood–plastic composites (WPCs) are some of the most common modern composite materials for interior and exterior design that combine natural waste wood properties and the molding possibility of a thermoplastic polymer binder. ...
