Biomimic hybrid polymer networks based on casein and poly(methacrylic acid). Case study: Ni2+ removal
(Royal Soc Chemistry, Cambridge, 2016)
Mimicking the extraordinary performances of natural materials presents an attractive, but challenging approach in the synthesis of advanced functional materials. In the field of separation techniques, the design of a ...
Highly ordered macroporous gamma-alumina prepared by a modified sol-gel method with a PMMA microsphere template for enhanced Pb2+, Ni2+ and Cd2+ removal
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
The adsorption performance of three-dimensionally ordered macroporous (3DOM) gamma-alumina was investigated for enhanced Pb2+, Ni2+ and Cd2+ removal. The synthesis was based on a modified sol-gel method using a colloidal ...
Application of cellulose acetate for controlled release of thymol
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2016)
Cellulose acetate (CA) was investigated as a carrier towards development of material with controlled release of thymol as a natural substance with strong antibacterial properties using high pressure techniques. Effect of ...
Biological activity of electrochemically synthesized silver doped polyvinyl alcohol/graphene composite hydrogel discs for biomedical applications
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2016)
Silver/poly(vinyl alcohol), Ag/PVA, and silver/poly(vinyl alcohol)/graphene, Ag/PVA/Gr, composite hydrogel discs were produced by freezing/thawing, followed by electrochemical reduction of Ag+ ions inside respective matrices, ...
New composites based on waste PET and non-metallic fraction from waste printed circuit boards: Mechanical and thermal properties
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
Influence of the addition of three different non-metallic fractions (NMF), obtained by processing of printed circuit boards (PCBs), on the mechanical and thermal properties of unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) based ...
Comparative life cycle assessment of Ni-based catalyst synthesis processes
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
Ni-based catalysts supported on ceramics are particularly suitable for industrial applications, for instance reforming of hydrocarbons to produce synthesis gas or hydrogen and production of carbon nanofibers. Conventional ...
Volatile organic compounds (VOC) policy innovation in petrochemicals river barge transportation
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2016)
The aim of this paper was to emphasise the need for a volatile organic compounds VOC policy review in the field of river barge transportation of petrochemicals. Review of the VOC policy shows that barges neither fall under ...
Influence of annealing temperature on the baking response and corrosion properties of an Al-4.6 wt% Mg alloy with 0.54 wt% Cu
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2015)
The effect of different thermo-mechanical processing parameters on the baking response, and intergranular corrosion (IGC) resistance of an Al-4.6 wt% Mg-0.54 wt% Cu alloy was investigated. It has been shown that the high ...
Towards sustainability of lactic acid and poly-lactic acid polymers production
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2019)
Lactic acid (LA) is a platform chemical which can be produced biotechnologically on agricultural residues, wastes and by-products and further used for production of biodegradable, biocompatible LA polymers. These polymers ...
Multifunctional jute fabrics obtained by different chemical modifications
(Springer, 2020)
The aim of the present research is first to reduce the jute fabric non-cellulosic components by using different chemical modifications (i.e. alkali and oxidative) and then to analyze their influence on the jute fabric ...
