Green pH- and magnetic-responsive hybrid hydrogels based on poly(methacrylic acid) and Eucalyptus wood nanocellulose for controlled release of ibuprofen
(Cellulose, 2021)
pH- and magnetic-sensitive hybrid hydrogels based on poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA), nanocellulose (NC), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and magnetite particles (MN) were prepared as ibuprofen delivery system. NC was isolated ...
Novel azo pyridone dyes based on dihydropyrimidinone skeleton: Synthesis, DFT study and anticancer activity
(Dyes and Pigments, 2021)
Seven novel azo dyes with 2-pyridone and dihydropyrimidinone moieties have been synthesized and thoroughly characterized. The azo-hydrazone tautomerism has been investigated by experimental and theoretical approaches. The ...
A green approach to starch modification by solvent-free method with betaine hydrochloride
(International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2021)
In this study, a novel simple and eco-efficient, semi-dry method with a spray system for starch modification has been developed. Compared to conventional semi-dry methods, this method does not use solvents so that no slurry ...
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 ...
Closing the loop: As(V) adsorption onto goethite impregnated coal-combustion fly ash as integral building materials
(Journal of Cleaner Production, 2021)
Fly and bottom ash(es) are the most abundant generated by-products of coal combustion in thermal power plants. This investigation offers a sustainable solution of a double and circular use of industrial waste material in ...
Impedance analysis of milk quality using functionalized polyamide textile-based sensor
(Computers and Electronics in Agriculture, 2021)
Present paper demonstrates design and characterization of a textile based microfluidic chip sensor for the detection of milk adulteration through measuring the real part of the impedance and impedance phase angle. Polyamide ...
Valorization of food waste to produce intelligent nanofibrous beta-chitin films
(International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2021)
The efficient use of waste from food processing industry is one of the innovative approaches within sustainable development, because it can be transferred into added value products, which could improve economic, energetic ...
Electrokinetic and sorption properties of hydrogen peroxide treated flax fibers (Linum usitatissimum L.)
(Cellulose, 2021)
Hydrogen peroxide represents an ecologically and economically acceptable agent for bleaching of flax fibers. The influence of hydrogen peroxide treatment under different conditions, i.e. hydrogen peroxide concentrations ...
Spatial distribution, radiological risk assessment and positive matrix factorization of gamma-emitting radionuclides in the sediment of the Boka Kotorska Bay
(Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2021)
Surface sediment from the Boka Kotorska Bay (Adriatic Sea) was analyzed for the content of technogenic cesium (137Cs) and naturally occurring (40K, 226Ra, 232Th, 238U) radionuclides. The activity concentrations of the ...
Structural insight into the fiber dyeing ability: Pyridinium arylazo pyridone dyes
(Elsevier Ltd., 2021)
Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of nine 6-hydroxy-4-methyl-3-pyridinium-2-pyridone based azo dyes, wherein, eight of them being novel. Used building blocks ensured water solubility of six dyes and made ...
