In situ chitosan gelation initiated by atmospheric plasma treatment
(Elsevier Ltd., 2014)
This work reports on the feasibility of atmospheric dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma as a novel synthetic pathway for the liquid phase gelation of chitosan. The DBD plasma chitosan gelation process did not ...
Amine activators influence on grafting reaction between methacrylic acid and starch
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2012)
The aim of this work was synthesis of grafted copolymers of poly(methacrylic acid) and starch (PMAA-graft-starch) with high percentage of grafting, G (%). The effect of temperature (55-75 degrees C), concentration of ...
Chitosan microbeads for encapsulation of thyme (Thymus serpyllum L.) polyphenols
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2014)
In this work chitosan microbeads were prepared by emulsion technique and loaded with thyme polyphenols by diffusion from an external aqueous solution of Thymus serpyllum L. The effects of concentrations of chitosan (1.5-3% ...
Effect of plasma treatment on chemical composition, structure and sorption properties of lignocellulosic hemp fibers (Cannabis sativa L.)
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2020)
Hemp fibers with different amount of hemicelluloses and lignin were subjected to atmospheric pressure dielectric barrier discharge under different conditions (40 W and 80 W power of discharge, const. time 120 s) in order ...
Cornstarch aerogels with thymol, citronellol, carvacrol, and eugenol prepared by supercritical CO2- assisted techniques for potential biomedical applications
(Elsevier Ltd., 05-2024)
This study focuses on the development of bioactive materials using environmentally friendly techniques, renewable, biocompatible, and biodegradable polysaccharide, as well as natural bioactive compounds (NBCs) found in ...
Molecular weight distribution and functional group profiles of TEMPO-oxidized lyocell fibers
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2013)
The effects of TEMPO-mediated oxidation, performed with NaClO, a catalytic amount of NaBr, and 2,2',6,6'-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxy radical (TEMPO), were studied on lyocell fibers by means of GPC using multiple detection ...
ZnO-modified cellulose fiber sheets for antibody immobilization
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2014)
Cellulose fiber sheets impregnated with saccharide capped-ZnO nanoparticles were used as bioactive materials for antibody immobilization. First, ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized in the presence of glucose (monosaccharide), ...
A comprehensive approach to in vitro functional evaluation of Ag/alginate nanocomposite hydrogels
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2014)
In this work, we present a comprehensive approach to evaluation of alginate microbeads with included silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) at the concentration range of 0.3-5 mM for potential biomedical use by combining cytotoxicity, ...
Sorption properties of TEMPO-oxidized natural and man-made cellulose fibers
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2009)
Cotton and lyocell fibers were oxidized with sodium hypochlorite and catalytic amount of sodium bromide and 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxy radical (TEMPO), under various conditions. Water-insoluble fractions, collected ...
Application of cellulose acetate for controlled release of thymol
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2016)
Cellulose acetate (CA) was investigated as a carrier towards development of material with controlled release of thymol as a natural substance with strong antibacterial properties using high pressure techniques. Effect of ...
