The influence of Sr and Mn incorporated ions on the properties of microwave single- and two-step sintered biphasic HAP/TCP bioceramics
(Springer, New York, 2014)
The aims of this study were to investigate the effects of Sr- and Mn-doped ions on the sintering behaviors, microstructure and mechanical properties of the bioceramics processed by single- and two-step microwave sintering ...
Isopiestic determination of the osmotic and activity coefficients of the {yK(2)SO(4) + (1-y)K2HPO4}(aq) system at T=298.15 K
(Academic Press Ltd- Elsevier Science Ltd, London, 2014)
The molality-based osmotic coefficients of aqueous mixtures of K2SO4 and K2HPO4 have been measured at T = (298.15 +/- 0.01) K by the isopiestic method, at K2SO4 ionic strength fractions y = (0.21008, 0.39887, 0.60657, ...
Microwave-assisted extraction for the recovery of antioxidants from waste Equisetum arvense
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2014)
Microwave-assisted extraction was optimised by the response surface methodology in order to enhance the extraction of polyphenols from Equisetum arvense (horsetail). Under the optimal conditions the total polyphenol content ...
Rapid cationic dye adsorption on polyphenol-extracted coffee grounds-A response surface methodology approach
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2014)
The Box-Behnken design under the response surface methodology (RSM) with five interacting parameters (adsorbent dose, initial dye concentration, time of agitation, initial solution pH and time of the adsorbent microwave ...
Structure and magnetic properties of electrodeposited Ni87.3Fe11.3W1.4 alloy
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2014)
A dark gray nanostructured coating of an alloy composed of 87.3 wt.% Ni, 11.3 wt.% Fe and 1.4 wt.% W (Ni87.3Fe11.3W1.4) was electrodeposited from an ammonia citrate bath on a titanium cathode at a current density of 500 ...
Removal of model cationic dye by adsorption onto poly(methacrylic acid)/zeolite hydrogel composites: Kinetics, equilibrium study and image analysis
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2014)
Composites based on poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) and two types of zeolite, hydrophilic zeolite A and hydrophobic zeolite ZSM-5, were synthesized. The obtained hydrogel composites that combine well the strong interaction ...
The dependence of the photocatalytic activity of TiO2/carbon nanotubes nanocomposites on the modification of the carbon nanotubes
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2014)
Nanostructural TiO2/modified multi-wall carbon nanotubes photocatalysts were prepared by hydrolysis of Ti(iso-OC3H7)(4) providing chemical bonding of anatase TiO2 nanoparticles onto oxidized- or amino-functionalized ...
Immobilization of lipase on epoxy-activated Purolite((R)) A109 and its post-immobilization stabilization
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2014)
In this study, Purolite (R) A109, polystyrenic macroporous resin, was used as immobilization support due to its good mechanical properties and high particle diameter (400 mu m), which enables efficient application in enzyme ...
Antifungal activity of Ag:hydroxyapatite thin films synthesized by pulsed laser deposition on Ti and Ti modified by TiO2 nanotubes substrates
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2014)
Hydroxyapatite (HA) is a widely used biomaterial for implant thin films, largely recognized for its excellent capability to chemically bond to hard tissue inducing the osteogenesis without immune response from human tissues. ...
Antimicrobial activity and biocompatibility of Ag--(+) and Cu2+ -doped biphasic hydroxyapatite/alpha-tricalcium phosphate obtained from hydrothermally synthesized Ag+- and Cu2+ -doped hydroxyapatite
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2014)
Hydroxyapatite (HAp) powders doped with Ag+ or Cu2+ were synthesized by a hydrothermal method in order to obtain biomaterial with an antimicrobial effect. The synthesis was performed with two contents of dopant (Ag+ or ...
