Black Pine (Pinus nigra) Essential Oil as a Green Corrosion Inhibitor for Carbon Steel
(MDPI, 2023)
In this work, the essential oil of black pine (Pinus nigra J. F. Arnold) was used for the first time as a natural, ecological, and sustainable corrosion inhibitor for the acid cleaning of carbon steel. The essential oil ...
Self-healing capability of novel eco-epoxy adhesives based on the modified tannic acid on Al adherends tested in a single lap joint
(Elsevier Ltd., 2022)
The aim of this paper is to study the self-healing capability of fractured Al joints bonded with novel eco-epoxide adhesives synthesized from a bio-renewable raw material (tannic acid – TA). Two synthesized eco-epoxy ...
Effects of poly(vinyl alcohol) blending with Ag/alginate solutions to form nanocomposite fibres for potential use as antibacterial wound dressings
(Royal Society Publishing, 2022)
In this work, nanocomposite fibres and microfibres based on alginate and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were produced and characterized for potential application as antibacterial wound dressings. ...
Removal of the As(V) and Cr(VI) from the Water Using Magnetite/3D-Printed Wollastonite Hybrid Adsorbent
(International Institute for the Science of Sintering (IISS), 2022)
In this study, the structure, morphology and composition of the synthesized magnetite/3D-printed wollastonite (3D_W/M) composite were characterized, and its adsorption performance with respect to As(V) and Cr(VI) were ...
Environmental Neurotoxin β-N-Methylamino-L-alanine (BMAA) as a Widely Occurring Putative Pathogenic Factor in Neurodegenerative Diseases
(MDPI, 2022)
In the present review we have discussed the occurrence of β-N-methylamino-L-alanine (BMAA) and its natural isomers, and the organisms and sample types in which the toxin(s) have been detected. Further, the review discusses ...
Impact properties of Kolon/PVB fabrics reinforced with rice-husk silica particles
(Materials Letters, 2022)
This study presents the impact properties of the new form of hybrid thermoplastic composites. The Kolon fabrics were impregnated with the 10 wt% poly (vinyl butyral) (PVB)/ethanol solution with the addition of silica (SiO2) ...
INSIGHT INTO SORPTION AND ANTIOXIDANT PROPERTIES OF ANTIBACTERIAL WOUND DRESSINGS COMPOSED OF VISCOSE FABRICS FUNCTIONALIZED WITH CHITOSAN AND CHITOSAN-BASED NANOPARTICLES
(Publishing House of the Romanian Academy, 2022)
Wound dressings designed with simultaneously adequate antibacterial, sorption, and antioxidant properties enable proper wound healing. Since the antibacterial properties have already been proven in our previous studies, ...
Obtaining Polysaccharide-Based Fabrics with Improved Moisture Sorption and Dye Adsorption Properties
(MDPI, 2023)
Raw jute fabric was treated with 0.5, 1.0, or 2.0% chitosan solution to improve its sorption
properties (evaluated through the moisture sorption and adsorption of textile dye Reactive Orange 16 (RO 16)), which are essential ...
Polymer-Lipid Matrices based on Carboxymethyl Cellulose/Solagum and Liposomes for Controlled Release of Folic Acid
(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2023)
Liposome-encapsulated folic acid is incorporated into the films made from sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) (2 mas%) and a mixture of CMC and solagum (9:1 w/w) using the film-forming cast solution method. Histidine is ...
Optimization of Enzymatic Desizing and Scouring of Cotton Fabric by Response Surface Methodology
(Publishing House of the Romanian Academy, 2023)
The study aimed to estimate the influence of temperature, time, and ultrasound application during desizing and scouring of cotton with α-amylase and pectinase, respectively, on the weight loss, breaking force and color ...
