Image analysis technique for evaluating damage evolution and predicting mechanical strength of concrete structures under corrosion conditions
(Advances in Image Analysis Research, 2014)
The degradation of concrete structures, which progresses as time passes, is caused by external factors such as chemical, physical and mechanical interferences. In the case of chemical deterioration, various ions penetrate ...
The corrosion stability of epoxy cataphoretic coatings on steel and steel coated with zinc alloys
(Corrosion Protection: Processes, Management and Technologies, 2009)
An organic coating is frequently deposited on the top of the metallic coating in order to generate a corrosion resistant system by taking advantage of the good properties of the sublayer. In automotive industry steel is ...
The impact of air pollution from the mining-metallurgical complex on the content of total sulfur in plant material and soil
(Air Quality: Environmental Indicators, Monitoring and Health Implications, 2013)
The area of Bor and the surroundings (Eastern Serbia) have beenknown for exploitation and processing of sulfide copper ores for morethan a hundred years. Long-term ore exploitation in the examined areahas made a great ...
Rheological behavior of hyperbranched polymers
(Rheology: Theory, Properties and Practical Applications, 2013)
Hyperbranched polymers represent intriguing class of dendritic polymers, which show remarkable, unique and different chemical and physical properties compared to their linear counterparts, as a result of their complex, ...
Smart hydrogels for pharmaceutical applications
(Novel Approaches for Drug Delivery, 2016)
The latest development in the field of smart hydrogels application as drugs carriers is shown in this chapter. Hydrogels are three-dimensional polymer network consisting of at least one hydrophilic monomer. They are insoluble ...
Influence of chemical stress on sulfur-polymer composite structure
(New Developments in Polymer Composites Research, 2013)
Sulfur- polymer composites are high performance thermoplastic materials made of mineral aggregate, filler, and modified sulfur binder, instead of cement and water as in ordinary Portland cement- based composites at ...
Supercritical extraction of phloroglucinols from St. John's wort (Hypericum Perforatum L.) - Process optimization, mathematical modeling and antimicrobial activity
(Phytochemicals: Occurrence in Nature, Health Effects and Antioxidant Properties, 2013)
St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum L.) has been widely used as an anti-inflammatory and healing agent in traditional medicine. Some para-pharmaceutical products, prepared from the extract of St. John's Wort, are frequently ...
Possibilities of improving the bioethanol production from cornmeal by yeast saccharomyces cerevisiae var. ellipsoideus
(Causes, Impacts and Solutions to Global Warming, 2013)
Bioethanol has become one of the most promising biofuels today. In Serbia, the most suitable and available raw materials are conventional starch-based energy crops such as corn and triticale. Bioethanol production by ...
Erythrocyte membranes: Unique constituent of biological/hybri drug delivery systems
(Erythrocytes: Structure, Functions and Clinical Aspects, 2019)
For many decades, the red blood cell membranes were in focus of research interest solely as a model system for investigation into the various membrane-related phenomena, composition/organization or membrane transport ...
Micro and nanoscale morphology characterization of compatibilized polymer blends by microscopy
(Compatibilization of Polymer Blends: Micro and Nano Scale Phase Morphologies, Interphase Characteriz, 2019)
Polymer blends are mostly immiscible at a molecular level due to their large molecular mass. Therefore, the study of the way how two polymers are mixed together is of great interest. The properties of the polymer blend are ...
