Removal of Synthetic Dyes from Wastewaters Using Horseradish Peroxidase
(New York: Nova Science Publishers, Inc., 2019)
Horseradish peroxidase is a heme-containing plant enzyme (HRP; EC 1.11.1.7) with a wide range of biotechnological and medical applications. In combination with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as an oxidant HRP can be used in the ...
Compatibilization of polymer blends by the addition of graft copolymers
(Compatibilization of Polymer Blends: Micro and Nano Scale Phase Morphologies, Interphase Characteriz, 2019)
Polymer blends are mixtures of two or more polymers that are very often immiscible components and they need to be compatibilized. The compatibilization must not only ensure improvement in microstructure uniformity, but ...
Matrix resistance stress reduction-prerequisite for achieving higher concentration of immobilized cells
(Materials for Biomedical Engineering: Bioactive Materials, Properties, and Applications, 2019)
Some of the main rheological properties that Ca-alginate hydrogel matrix should satisfy for biomedical and biotechnological applications are the matrix viscoelasticity and the ability of stress relaxation. Although alginate ...
