Thermodynamic and transport properties of biomass-derived furfural, furfuryl alcohol and their mixtures
(MDPI, 2021)
The limited reserves and well-known disadvantages of using fossil energy sources have increased the need for appropriate renewable substitutes in the production of various chemicals and materials. Biomass has been shown ...
Antibacterial activity of thymol/carvacrol and clinoptilolite composites prepared by supercritical solvent impregnation
(Journal of Porous Materials, 2021)
Novel composites based on natural zeolite-clinoptilolite and monoterpene phenols-thymol and carvacrol were prepared by supercritical solvent impregnation (SSI) in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO(2)) at 30 MPa and 35 ...
Surface Patterning Increases Fluid Sorption Efficiency in Porous Reactive Coatings: A Model for Optimised Surface-Flow Filtration
(Transport in Porous Media, 2021)
A novel surface-flow filter has been designed to take advantage of a combination of both diffusion and lateral flow permeation, since active coatings, even if porous, tend to be far less permeable than through-flow constructs. ...
Inorganically modified particles FeAl-LDH"SiO2 as reinforcement in poly (methyl) methacrylate matrix composite
(Royal Society Open Science, 2021)
Silica particles were obtained from rice husk to which layered double hydroxide particles were deposited (weight ratio 1 : 1). Fe2+-Al3+ layered double hydroxides (FeAl-LDH) were synthesized by co-precipitation with ratios ...
Obtaining jute fabrics with enhanced sorption properties and "closing the loop" of their lifecycle
(Industrial Crops and Products, 2021)
The objective of this investigation was to obtain jute fabrics with enhanced sorption properties (by using simple and cost-effective alkali and oxidative modifications) and a long life cycle. The applied alkali modifications ...
Modification of hydrophilic polymer network to design a carrier for a poorly water-soluble substance
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2020)
pH sensitive, nontoxic, and biocompatible poly(methacrylic) acid (PMAA) based soft networks have been extensively used in the design of systems for targeted drug delivery. Still, their highly hydrophilic nature limits their ...
An Experimental Study of Mechanical Properties and Heat Transfer of Acrylic Composites with Structural and Surface Modified Al2O3 Particles
(International Institute for the Science of Sintering (IISS), 2020)
Thermal properties of acrylate-based composite combined with alumina-based particles were investigated. The composites were made of poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) modified with dimethyl itaconate (DMI) as a matrix. Neat ...
Prospect of Polysaccharide-Based Materials as Advanced Food Packaging
(MDPI, Basel, 2020)
The use of polysaccharide-based materials presents an eco-friendly technological solution, by reducing dependence on fossil resources while reducing a product's carbon footprint, when compared to conventional plastic ...
Synthesis, characterization and SAR studies of bis(imino)pyridines as antioxidants, acetylcholinesterase inhibitors and antimicrobial agents
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, San Diego, 2020)
In this study we synthesized a series of sixteen bis(imino)pyridines (BIPs) starting from 2,6-diaminopyridine and various aromatic aldehydes, and evaluated their antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal and acetylcholinesterase ...
HSLA Steel - Simulation of Fatigue
(International Conference on New Technologies, Development and Application, NT 2020, 2020)
In present paper, based on the results of the experimental study of the behaviour of the samples made of a HSLA steel, in the form of round smooth specimens (RSS) under LCF conditions (with controlled and completely ...
