Thermodynamics of microbial consortia: Enthalpies and Gibbs energies of microorganism live matter and macromolecules of E. coli, G. oxydans, P. fluorescens, S. thermophilus and P. chrysogenum
(Elsevier B.V., 2024)
Every microorganism represents a biothermodynamic system, characterized by an empirical formula and thermodynamic properties of biosynthesis. Gibbs energy of biosynthesis influences the multiplication rate of a microorganism. ...
Revalorization of Cotton and Cotton/Elastane Knitted Fabric Waste
(Korean Fiber Society, 2023)
The present paper demonstrates a simple way for revalorization of differently softened cotton and cotton/elastane knitted fabric waste collected from the textile industry. Such waste was used as an adsorbent for Congo Red ...
Antimicrobial and UV protective chitosan/lignin multilayer nanocoating with immobilized silver nanoparticles
(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2023)
Poor antimicrobial activity and lack of protection against UV irradiation are weaknesses of cotton textiles. In an attempt to impart superior antimicrobial and UV-protective properties to cotton, layer-by-layer deposition ...
Mechanical Properties of Electrolytically Produced Copper Coatings Reinforced with Pigment Particles
(MDPI, 2023)
Copper from sulfate baths without and with added inorganic pigment particles based on strontium aluminate doped with europium and dysprosium (SrAl2O4: Eu2+, Dy3+) was electrodeposited on a brass cathode by a galvanostatic ...
Tailoring of advanced poly(lactic acid)-based materials: A review
(Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 2022)
Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) stands out as the most promising biodegradable alternative to conventional petrochemical-based polymers for manufacturing of high-performance materials applied in medicine, pharmacy, food, textile, ...
Crystallographic, spectroscopic, thermal and computational studies of polymeric cobalt(II)-mellitate complex with 2,2 '-bipyridine
(Elsevier B.V., 2022)
Orange single crystals of new polymeric cobalt(II) complex {[Co(bipy)(H2O)(4)](2)[Co(mu-mell)(H2O)(2)].10H(2)O}(n), 1, were synthesized by slow evaporation method at room temperature (bipy = 2,2 '-bipyridine, mell = hexaanion ...
Accumulation of heavy metal(loid)s and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the sediment of the Prahovo Port (Danube) and associated risks
(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2023)
The current study investigated the concentrations, possible sources, toxicity, and ecological risk of eight heavy metal(loid)s (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, Zn) and sixteen priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) ...
Strong and tough, pH sensible, interpenetrating network hydrogels based on gelatin and poly(methacrylic acid)
(Polymer Engineering and Science, 2022)
Hydrogels are promising materials for biomedical applications due to highly hydrated, porous, permeable structure with possibility to accommodate living cells, drugs, or bioactive factors. In this paper, we reported ...
Mechanical properties of acrylate matrix composite reinforced with manganese-aluminum layered double hydroxide
(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2023)
Acrylate polymers are used in several applications such as dentistry, medicine, and industry. The modification of their properties using the reinforcement is of key importance for the possible applications. Layered double ...
Denture composite reinforced with short polyethylene terephthalate fibers
(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2022)
Polymer matrix composite materials have found application in dentistry because of good mechanical properties, aesthetic, easy processing, and possibilities of the repair. Acrylates are materials used to make and repair ...
