In situ electrochemical synthesis of silver-doped poly(vinyl alcohol)/graphene composite hydrogels and their physico-chemical and thermal properties
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2018)
This paper presents silver/poly(vinyl alcohol) (Ag/PVA) and silver/poly(vinyl alcohol)/graphene (Ag/PVA/Gr) composites prepared by the immobilization of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in PVA and PVA/Gr hydrogel discs previously ...
Optimized preparation of alumina based fillers for tuning composite properties
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2018)
Alumina based particles were prepared from aluminium chloride hydroxide as starting material by sol-gel technique. One series of particles was doped with ferrous oxide. Both series of particles were calcinated at three ...
Valorization of damaged rice grains: Optimization of bioethanol production by waste brewer's yeast using an amylolytic potential from the Paenibacillus chitinolyticus CKS1
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2018)
Damaged grains that are not useful for food or feed are abundant and cheap. The main objective of this paper was to valorize damaged rice grains for bioethanol production using presacchararification step followed by ...
Pectin-based nanocomposite aerogels for potential insulated food packaging application
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2018)
Environmental-friendly pectin-TiO2 nanocomposite aerogels were prepared via sol-gel process and subsequent drying under supercritical conditions. The first step includes dissolution of pectin in water, addition of proper ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Optimisation of microwave-assisted extraction parameters for antioxidants from waste Achillea millefolium dust
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2015)
Microwave-assisted extraction of polyphenols and flavonoids from waste Achillea millefolium (yarrow) dust was optimised using the response surface methodology. The influence of the extraction time (13-47 s), ethanol ...
Silver/poly(vinyl alcohol)/chitosan/graphene hydrogels - Synthesis, biological and physicochemical properties and silver release kinetics
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2018)
This study presents the synthesis of novel silver/poly(vinyl alcohol)/chitosan/graphene (Ag/PVA/CHI/Gr) nanocomposite hydrogels by in situ electrochemical reduction of silver ions in the hydrogel matrix and their thorough ...
Nano-finishing of cellulose textile materials with copper and copper oxide nanoparticles
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2019)
Nano-finishing of textile materials with metal and metal oxide nanoparticles has been in the focus of science and textile industry almost two decades. The emergence of bacteria resistance to silver nanoparticles due to ...
