The influence of alumina crystal structures on the morphology and surface erosion of PMMA composite materials exposed to cavitation testing
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2019)
Composites are materials that reach many users and therefore, it is necessary to correlate the properties of every component on the behaviour of the material. Alumina is used as reinforcement with the aim of improving ...
Broad Spectrum of Antimicrobial Activity of Cotton Fabric Modified with Oxalic Acid and CuO/Cu2O Nanoparticles
(Korean Fiber Soc, Seoul, 2019)
This study discusses the possibility of fabrication of textile nanocomposites with antimicrobial activity against antibiotics-resistant bacterial strains and yeast. Modification of cotton fabric with oxalic acid solutions ...
Synthesis of Tribological WS2 Powder from WO3 Prepared by Ultrasonic Spray Pyrolysis (USP)
(MDPI, Basel, 2019)
This paper describes the synthesis of tungsten disulfide (WS2) powder by the sulfurization of tungsten trioxide (WO3) particles in the presence of additive potassium carbonate (K2CO3) in nitrogen (N-2) atmosphere, first ...
Catalytic activity of SnO2- and SO4 /SnO2-containing clinoptilolite in the esterification of levulinic acid
(Elsevier B.V., 2019)
Catalysts based on natural zeolite - clinoptilolite loaded with either SnO2 (TOHCLI) or sulfated SnO2 (STOHCLI) were prepared and tested in the esterification of levulinic acid (LA) with octanol or ethanol. The Sn content ...
Chitosan-based hydrogel wound dressings with electrochemically incorporated silver nanoparticles - In vitro study
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2019)
In this work, we provide a facile path for the preparation of wound dressing materials with improved characteristics based on biocompatible chitosan and poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogels with embedded silver nanoparticles ...
Substituent Effects on the Patterns of Intermolecular Interactions of 3-Alkyl and 3-Cycloalkyl Derivatives of Phenytoin: A Crystallographic and Quantum-Chemical Study
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2019)
A series of five derivatives of the anticonvulsant drug phenytoin was synthesized, and their crystal structures were determined. The relationship between the molecular and crystal structure of the investigated compounds ...
Multifunctional ternary composite films based on PLA and Ag/alginate microbeads: Physical characterization and silver release kinetics
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2019)
Novel multifunctional composite poly(lactic acid) (PLA) films with alginate microbeads containing silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were developed for potential antimicrobial food packaging applications. AgNPs, 10-20 nm in size, ...
Supercritical CO2 - assisted production of PLA and PLGA foams for controlled thymol release
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2019)
Amorphous, medical grade poly(D,L-lactic acid) (PLA) and poly(D,L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) were used to develop systems for controlled release of a natural bioactive substance - thymol. Supercritical carbon dioxide ...
Utilization of brewing and malting by-products as carrier and raw materials in l-(+)-lactic acid production and feed application
(Springer, New York, 2019)
Application of agro-industrial by-products for the production of lactic acid was studied in this paper. Brewer's spent grain (BSG), malt rootlets (MR), brewer's yeast (BY), and soy lecithin (SL) were used as raw materials ...
Casein-poly(methacrylic acid) hybrid soft networks with easy tunable properties
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2019)
The design of complex polymeric materials with predefined task-specific properties meets challenging issues: to establish synthesis-structure-properties relationship, as well as to understand the arrangement and interactions ...
