Mineralized agar-based nanocomposite films: Potential food packaging materials with antimicrobial properties
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
New mineralized, agar-based nanocomposite films (Zn-carbonate and Zn-phosphate/agar) were produced by a combination of in situ precipitation and a casting method. The presence of minerals significantly influenced the ...
Stability of TEMPO-oxidized cotton fibers during natural aging
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2020)
Stability of cotton fibers oxidized by the 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxy radical (TEMPO)-mediated system during natural aging was monitored; the oxidized and five-year-aged fibers were characterized in terms of ...
Antibacterial activity of Cu-based nanoparticles synthesized on the cotton fabrics modified with polycarboxylic acids
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2018)
The fabrication of antimicrobial textile nanocomposite by in situ synthesis of Cu-based nanoparticles on cotton fabrics modified with different polycarboxylic acids was discussed in this study. In order to evaluate the ...
Novel modified nanocellulose applicable as reinforcement in high-performance nanocomposites
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
The influence of modification and vacuum/supercritical CO2 (scCO(2)) drying methods on the surface properties, morphology and thermal stability of cellulose nanocrystals (NC) was presented in this study. Introduction of ...
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 ...
Functionalization of polyester fabrics with alginates and TiO2 nanoparticles
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2010)
This study was aimed to investigate the possibility of engineering the multifunctional textile nanocomposite material based on the polyester fabric modified with natural polysaccharide alginate and colloidal TiO2 nanoparticles. ...
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% ...
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 ...
Biodegradation of cotton and cotton/polyester with Ag/TiO2 nanoparticles in soil
(Carbohydrate Polymers, 2017)
This study discusses the biodegradation behavior of cotton and cotton/PET fabrics impregnated with Ag/TiO2 nanoparticles in soil. Biodegradation behavior was evaluated by standard test method ASTM 5988-03 based on determination ...
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 ...
