Composite materials from fully bio-based thermosetting resins and recycled waste poly(ethylene terephthalate)
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2018)
During the last two decades, interest in bio-based polymers, especially in bio-based composite materials, has grown as a result of environmental concerns. In this paper new composites obtained from fully bio-based unsaturated ...
Mg/Cu co-substituted hydroxyapatite - Biocompatibility, mechanical properties and antimicrobial activity
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2019)
The aim of this study was to improve the mechanical properties and to optimize antimicrobial activity of hydroxyapatite (HAP) by simultaneous doping with Mg and Cu ions in order to obtain material that would be able to ...
Novel modified nanocellulose applicable as reinforcement in high-performance nanocomposites
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
The influence of modification and vacuum/supercritical CO2 (scCO(2)) drying methods on the surface properties, morphology and thermal stability of cellulose nanocrystals (NC) was presented in this study. Introduction of ...
Antibacterial activity of Cu-based nanoparticles synthesized on the cotton fabrics modified with polycarboxylic acids
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2018)
The fabrication of antimicrobial textile nanocomposite by in situ synthesis of Cu-based nanoparticles on cotton fabrics modified with different polycarboxylic acids was discussed in this study. In order to evaluate the ...
Mesoporous Silica and Organosilica Nanomaterials as UV-Blocking Agents
(Amer Chemical Soc, Washington, 2018)
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) and periodic mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles containing bridging benzene (PMOBTB) and ethane (PMOBTE) moieties are synthesized, characterized, and evaluated for application in ...
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 ...
Achieving high antimicrobial activity: Composite alginate hydrogel beads releasing activated charcoal with an immobilized active agent
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2018)
New composites based on Ca-alginate hydrogels were produced that release activated charcoal (AC) particles with adsorbed povidone iodine (PVP-I) as a model antimicrobial substance in a physiological-like environment. ...
Structural Elucidation of Enzymatically Synthesized Galacto-oligosaccharides Using Ion-Mobility Spectrometry Tandem Mass Spectrometry
(Amer Chemical Soc, Washington, 2016)
Galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) represent a diverse group of well-characterized prebiotic ingredients derived from lactose in a reaction catalyzed with beta-galactosidases. Enzymatic transgalactosylation results in a mixture ...
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 ...
Development of material with strong antimicrobial activity by high pressure CO2 impregnation of polyamide nanofibers with thymol
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2018)
This study discusses the potential of high pressure (supercritical and liquid) CO2 impregnation to load electrospun polyamide nanofibers with thymol as an antimicrobial agent. The influence of selected pressures and ...
