Behavior of sulfur-polymer matrix composites with different fillers under acid and salt influence
(Polymer-Matrix Composites: Types, Applications and Performance, 2014)
Based on the nature of the matrix material, modern composites can be generally classified into three categories: polymer matrix composites, metal matrix composites, and ceramic matrix composites. Polymer matrix composites ...
Principles of tissue culture and bioreactor design
(Principles of Tissue Engineering, 2007)
Isolation, purification and encapsulation techniques for bioactive compounds from agricultural and food production waste
(Utilisation of Bioactive Compounds from Agricultural and Food Production Waste, 2017)
Food related materials that are discharged worldwide are residues of high organic load generated through different stages of food’s life cycle, from agricultural production up to postharvest handling, processing, retail ...
The re-use potential of espresso spent coffee grounds: Optimization of microwave-assisted extraction of polyphenols by use of response surface methodology and their effects on platelet function - pilot study
(Coffee: Production, Consumption and Health Benefits, 2016)
A huge amount of espresso spent coffee grounds (SCG) are obtained as a waste product during the preparation of coffee beverages (cialdes, K-cups and in metallic filters). Although considered a waste and an ecological threat, ...
Biodiesel Fuel Production by Enzymatic Transesterification of Oils: Recent Trends, Challenges and Future Perspectives
(IntechOpen, 2011)
Liquid fuels have been used for many years as the most dominant and basic fuel for motor
engines. However, declining fossil fuel resources as well as the tendency for developing
new renewable biofuels have shifted the ...
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 ...
Bioaerosols: Methods for reducing health risks and impact on the environment
(Air Pollution: Management Strategies, Environmental Impact and Health Risks, 2016)
Bioaerosols (biological particles derived from viruses, bacteria, fungi, plants and animals) are ubiquitous in the air. This organic dust is considered to be hazardous to human health. Acute and chronic diseases are health ...
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 ...
Potential of encapsulated phytochemicals in hydrogel particles
(Nanomaterials for Drug Delivery and Therapy, 2019)
In the recent past, bioactive compounds, especially naturally antioxidants, have occupied the main research focus, due to their high biological activity. Plant polyphenols are one of the most potent antioxidants. Encapsulation ...
Gellan gum in drug delivery applications
(Natural Polysaccharides in Drug Delivery and Biomedical Applications, 2019)
The different techniques that enable drug delivery in the desired manner are constantly investigated and developed to enhance patient compliance and drug efficiency and to reduce the side effects of drugs. One of the key ...
