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 ...
Numerical determination and experimental validation of the fracture toughness of welded joints
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2020)
Most of the serious weldment failures lead to catastrophic consequences in terms of damage of other equipment, loss of production, and risks to workers' health and safety. Hence, there is motivation to find margin between ...
Kinetic models of swelling and thermal stability of silver/poly(vinyl Check far alcohol)/chitosan/graphene hydrogels
(Elsevier Science Inc, New York, 2019)
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized by in situ electrochemical reduction of Ag+ ions in poly (vinyl alcohol)/chitosan/graphene (PVA/CHI/Gr) hydrogel matrices with different concentrations of chitosan. The ...
Numerical simulation of fatigue crack propagation: A case study of defected steam pipeline
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2019)
In order to prevent the premature failure of steam pipeline produced of molybdenum-vanadium steel, the experimental tests were performed to measure fracture toughness and to determine the mechanical behaviour of cracked ...
Supercritical CO2 impregnation of PLA/PCL films with natural substances for bacterial growth control in food packaging
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2018)
Biodegradable polymers with antibacterial properties are highly desirable materials for active food packaging applications. Thymol, a dietary monoterpene phenol with a strong antibacterial activity is abundant in plants ...
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, ...
Isopiestic determination of the osmotic and activity coefficients of {yK(2)HPO(4) + (1-y)KH2PO4}(aq) at T=298.15 K
(Academic Press Ltd- Elsevier Science Ltd, London, 2020)
Isopiestic measurements have been made at 55 compositions of the {yK(2)HPO(4) + (1 - y)KH2PO4}(aq) system at T = (298.15 +/- 0.01) K, 11 for each of the limiting binary solutions and 33 for mixture compositions at K2HPO4 ...
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 ...
Application of quality function deployment on shelf-life analysis of Agaricus bisporus Portobello
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2017)
The aim of this study was to analyze application of quality function deployment on examining the shelf life of Agaricus bisporus Portobello packed in modified atmosphere packaging stored for 22 d at 4 degrees C. Mushrooms ...
Influence of TEMPO-Mediated Oxidation on Properties of Hemp Fibers
(Amer Chemical Soc, Washington, 2012)
Hemp fibers are a very interesting natural material for textile and technical applications, but some of these applications require improved and/or specific fiber properties. In order to modify hemp fibers for obtaining ...
