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 ...
Micro- and Nanostructured IPNs based on Thermosetting Resins
(Micro- and Nano-Structured Interpenetrating Polymer Networks: From Design to Applications, 2016)
Different components of interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) have different influence on their properties and their behavior in various applications, such as automotive dual curing applications. Dual curing systems, ...
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 ...
Bioreactors in tissue engineering
(Cell and Tissue Engineering, 2012)
The underlying philosophy guiding the design and development of advanced bioreactors for tissue engineering purposes is to provide environmental conditions that enable metabolically active cells in threedimensional (3D) ...
Application of alginates in cell and enzyme immobilization
(Alginates: Production, Types and Applications, 2012)
Enzymes are a particularly versatile class of catalysts that perform and regulate processes in living matter. Enzymatic regio-, chemo- and enantioselectivity were used in industry and in organic synthesis. The common ...
Bioprocess intensification of beer fermentation using immobilised cells
(Encapsulation Technologies for Active Food Ingredients and Food Processing, 2010)
Beer production with immobilised yeast has been the subject of research for approximately 30 years but has so far found limited application in the brewing industry, due to engineering problems, unrealised cost advantages, ...
Electrochemical Polymerization of Aniline
(Rijeka : InTech, 2011)
In recent years, great focus has been placed upon polymer thin films. These polymer thin films are important in many technological applications, ranging from coatings and adhesives to organic electronic devices, including ...
Implementation of image analysis research on refractory concrete lifetime prediction for thermal stability and cavitation erosion testing
(Advances in Image Analysis Research, 2014)
Lifetime prediction for construction material is essential and very often crucial for determination of impact on material application and service. Many models based on different parameters were used to monitor materials ...
Biodiesel production: The problems in software design at supercritical and subcritical conditions
(Supercritical Fluids, 2011)
A large interest in research as well as dramatically increased number of scientific papers covering this topic evidently exists. This chapter covers the literature review of biodiesel production under specific conditions ...
Thermoplastic Copolyester Elastomers
(Handbook of Engineering and Speciality Thermoplastics: Polyethers and Polyesters, 2011)
In this chapter the preparation, structure and properties of thermoplastic copolyester elastomers, TPEE, are presented. TPEEs are multiblock copolymers built up from so-called short crystallizable hard segments and long ...
