Novel Hybrid Nanostructures of Carbon Nanotube/Fullerene-like Tungsten Disulfide as Reinforcement for Aramid Fabric Composites
(Fibers and Polymers, 2021)
Multilayered composites based on aramid fabrics are widely used in impact protection. The objective of this study is creating a new kind of multiaxial aramid fabric composites with inorganic fullerene-like tungsten disulfide ...
Can Fiber-post Placement Reinforce Structurally Compromised Roots?
(Quintessence Publishing Co Inc, Hanover Park, 2020)
Purpose: Immature teeth are characterized by short roots, thin root canal walls, and open apices, which makes them prone to fracture. The aim was to investigate whether fiber-post placement had an influence on the fracture ...
Nutrition and Health Claims Spectra of Pre-Packaged Foods on Serbian Supermarket Shelves: A Repeated Cross-Sectional Study
(Nutrients, 2021)
Nutrition and health claims (NHCs) are a powerful tool that influence consumers' final decision on the choice of food products. The purposes of this repeated cross-sectional study were to (i) assess the prevalence of ...
Optimization of Reactive Diluent for Bio-Based Unsaturated Polyester Resin: A Rheological and Thermomechanical Study
(Polymers, 2021)
Nowadays, unsaturated polyester resins (UPR) are mainly obtained from non-renewable resources. The ever-increasing regulations and the continuous demand for more sustainability have led to extensive research towards more ...
3D Printed Buccal Films for Prolonged-Release of Propranolol Hydrochloride: Development, Characterization and Bioavailability Prediction
(Pharmaceutics, 2021)
Gelatin-polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and gelatin-poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) mucoadhesive buccal films loaded with propranolol hydrochloride (PRH) were prepared by semi-solid extrusion 3D printing. The aim of this study was ...
Removal of Estrone, 17 beta-Estradiol, and 17 alpha-Ethinylestradiol from Water by Adsorption onto Chemically Modified Activated Carbon Cloths
(Korean Fiber Soc, Seoul, 2020)
This paper explores the applicability of unmodified and chemically modified activated carbon cloths (ACCs) for the removal of estrone, 17 beta-estradiol, and 17 alpha-ethinylestradiol from water. In order to examine the ...
A Strategy to Revalue a Wood Waste for Simultaneous Cadmium Removal and Wastewater Disinfection
(Adsorption Science & Technology, 2021)
In this investigation, the possibility of wood waste (hardwoods such as oaks' and alternatives' staves from Balkan cooperage) revalorization for simultaneous cadmium removal and wastewater disinfection was examined. All ...
Removal of Nickel Ions from Aqueous Solutions by 2-Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Itaconic Acid Hydrogels Optimized with Response Surface Methodology
(Gels, 2021)
The adsorption of Ni2+ ions from water solutions by using hydrogels based on 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA) and itaconic acid (IA) was studied. Hydrogel synthesis was optimized with response surface methodology (RSM). The ...
Natural Macromolecules as Carriers for Essential Oils: From Extraction to Biomedical Application
(Frontiers Media Sa, Lausanne, 2020)
Essential oils (EOs) and their main constituents, the terpenes, are widely studied, mostly relating to their antioxidant ability and bioactivity, such as antimicrobial, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and range of other ...
Preclinical functional characterization methods of nanocomposite hydrogels containing silver nanoparticles for biomedical applications
(Springer, New York, 2020)
Nanocomposite hydrogels that contain silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are especially attractive for various biomedical applications (e.g., antimicrobial wound dressings, coatings and soft tissue implants) due to strong ...
