Design and characterization of reversible thermodynamic SMPU-based fabrics with improved comfort properties
(SAGE Publications Ltd., 2023)
In recent years, great efforts have been made to research and develop advanced thermodynamic textiles that can change their thermal behavior in response to external stimuli. More specifically, shape memory alloys and shape ...
From Aloe vera Leaf Waste to the Extracts with Biological Potential: Optimization of the Extractions, Physicochemical Characterization, and Biological Activities
(MDPI, 2023)
In the study, the optimization of the extraction from Aloe vera leaf waste was performed via varying solid-to-solvent ratio, solvent type, extraction time, and technique (maceration, heat-, ultrasound-, and microwave-assisted ...
A closed cycle of sustainable development: Effective removal and desorption of lead and dyes using an oxidized cellulose membrane
(Elsevier B.V., 2023)
Oxidized cotton linters, TOCell, were used as an adsorbent or derived membrane there from by linters
cross-linking with citric acid. The adsorption/desorption study of Pb2+, methylene blue (MB), and crystal
violet (CV) ...
Influence of Ultrasonic and Chemical Pretreatments on Quality Attributes of Dried Pepper (Capsicum annuum)
(MDPI, 2023)
This study investigates the effects of ultrasound, in combination with chemical pretreatments, on the quality attributes (total phenolic and carotenoid content, antioxidant activity (2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl assay ...
Crack Size and Undermatching Effects on Fracture Behavior of a Welded Joint
(MDPI, 2023)
Crack size and undermatching effects on fracture behavior of undermatched welded joints are presented and analyzed. Experimental and numerical analysis of the fracture behavior of high-strength low-alloyed (HSLA) steel ...
Biodegradable Cellulose/Polycaprolactone/Keratin/Calcium Carbonate Mulch Films Prepared in Imidazolium-Based Ionic Liquid
(MDPI, 2023)
Ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride [BMIM][Cl] was used to prepare cellulose (CELL), cellulose/polycaprolactone (CELL/PCL), cellulose/polycaprolactone/keratin (CELL/PCL/KER), and cellulose/polycaprolactone/ ...
Effects of liquid surface tension on gas capillaries and capillary forces at superamphiphobic surfaces
(NLM (Medline), 2023)
The formation of a bridging gas capillary between superhydrophobic surfaces in water gives rise to strongly attractive interactions ranging up to several micrometers on separation. However, most liquids used in materials ...
Morphological assessment of cavitation caused damage of cordierite and zircon based materials using principal component analysis
(Elsevier Ltd, 2023)
The pattern recognition approach, explored by this study, applies the principal component analysis (PCA) as the most widely used statistical method with the aim of assessing the initiation and propagation of the cracks and ...
Comparative Study of the Microstructure and Properties of Cast-Fabricated and 3D-Printed Laser-Sintered Co–Cr Alloys for Removable Partial Denture Frameworks
(MDPI, 2023)
Since additive technologies in dentistry are gradually replacing metal casting technology, it is necessary to evaluate new dental constructions intended for the development of removable partial denture frameworks. The aim ...
Recovering the Soybean Hulls after Peroxidase Extraction and Their Application as Adsorbent for Metal Ions and Dyes
(Hindawi Limited, 2023)
This study is aimed at extending the soybean hulls' lifetime by their utilization as an adsorbent for metal ions (Cd2+ and Cu2+) and dyes (Reactive Yellow 39 (RY 39) and Acid Blue 225 (AB 225)). ATR-FTIR spectroscopy, ...
