Preparation of TiO2/carbon nanotubes photocatalysts: The influence of the method of oxidation of the carbon nanotubes on the photocatalytic activity of the nanocomposites
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2012)
A method for the preparation of efficient TiO2/multi-wall carbon nanotubes nanocomposite photocatalysts by precipitation of anatase TiO2 nanoparticles onto differently oxidized carbon nanotubes is presented. The precursor ...
Design and characterization of self-assembled fish sarcoplasmic protein-alginate nanocomplexes
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2015)
Macrostructures based on natural polymers are subject to large attention, as the application range is wide within the food and pharmaceutical industries. In this study we present nanocomplexes (NCXs) made from electrostatic ...
Antimicrobial activity of metal oxide nanoparticles supported onto natural clinoptilolite
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2012)
The antimicrobial activity of Cu2O, ZnO and NiO nanoparticles supported onto natural clinoptilolite was investigated in the secondary effluent under dark conditions. After 24 h of contact the Cu2O and ZnO nanoparticles ...
Encapsulation of resveratrol into Ca-alginate submicron particles
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2015)
Resveratrol-loaded alginate submicron particles were prepared by emulsification followed by external gelation. Scanning electron microscopy analysis of the air-dried and freeze-dried submicron particles demonstrated their ...
Isopiestic determination of the osmotic and activity coefficients of the {yKNO(3) + (1-y)K2HPO4}(aq) system at T=298.15 K
(Academic Press Ltd- Elsevier Science Ltd, London, 2012)
The osmotic coefficients of aqueous mixtures of KNO3 and K2HPO4 have been measured at T = (298.15 +/- 0.01) K by the isopiestic vapor pressure method at KNO3 ionic strength fractions y = (0.20581, 0.43631, 0.61099, and ...
Influence of the gelation and calcination temperatures on physical parameters and photocatalytic activity of mesoporous titania powders synthesized by the nonhydrolytic sol-gel process
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2012)
Titania powders were synthesized by nonhydrolitic sol-gel process starting from titanium(IV)-chloride, titanium(IV)-isopropoxide and carbon-tetrachloride. Gelation was performed in solvothermal conditions, at 140 degrees ...
Alginate hydrogel microbeads incorporated with Ag nanoparticles obtained by electrochemical method
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2012)
An innovative method was developed for production of alginate hydrogel microbeads incorporated with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) based on electrochemical synthesis followed by electrostatic extrusion. AgNPs were synthesized ...
Synthesis and characterization of silver/poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) hydrogel nanocomposite obtained by in situ radiolytic method
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2011)
This work describes radiolytic synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) within the poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) (PVP) hydrogel. The hydrogel matrix was obtained by gamma irradiation-induced cross-linking, while the in ...
Oxidized Hemp Fibers with Simultaneously Increased Capillarity and Reduced Moisture Sorption as Suitable Textile Material for Advanced Application in Sportswear
(Fibers and Polymers, 2021)
Applications of hemp fibers, as a promising natural material in the textile field, mostly require improved fiber properties. In this paper, the oxidation of hemp fibers with potassium permanganate was applied to reduce the ...
Conventional and spark-plasma sintering of cordierite powders synthesized by sol-gel methods
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2013)
Cordierite powders synthesized by colloidal and alkoxide sol-gel methods were conventionally and spark-plasma sintered. The powders for the sintering investigations were obtained by calcination of the gels at a temperature ...
