Impact of sodium sulfate solution on mechanical properties and structure of fly ash based geopolymers
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2015)
In this paper, geopolymers based on two different fly ash samples were exposed to sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) solution (50 g/l) over a period of 365 days. It was found that sulfate solution attack caused a small decrease in ...
Ultra-high breakdown field varistors prepared from individually synthesized nanoprecursors
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2015)
Previously synthesized nanocrystalline ZnO doped with cobalt and manganese, Bi2O3 and Sb2O3 were the precursors for high voltage varistors preparation. Varistor ceramics were sintered at 750 degrees C, 770 degrees C or 900 ...
Nanomaterial with High Antimicrobial Efficacy-Copper/Polyaniline Nanocomposite
(Amer Chemical Soc, Washington, 2015)
This study explores different mechanisms of antimicrobial action by designing hybrid nanomaterials that provide a new approach in the fight against resistant microbes. Here, we present a cheap copper-polyaniline (Cu-PANI) ...
Efficient arsenic removal by cross-linked macroporous polymer impregnated with hydrous iron oxide: Material performance
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2015)
Optimization of the synthesis of cross-linked macroporous polymer impregnated with hydrous iron oxide and post-process of obtained material by application of freeze/drying technique, produces high performance adsorbent ...
The effect of different extractants on lead desorption from a natural mineral
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2015)
Natural minerals, such as quartz, clinoptilolite and calcite, are useful as sorbents for various applications, but their content of heavy metals ions is the most problematic obstacle to their application. Before their ...
Protein-reinforced and chitosan-pectin coated alginate microparticles for delivery of flavan-3-ol antioxidants and caffeine from green tea extract
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2015)
In this study, potential interactions of alginate-proteins and proteins-polyphenols were utilized for the formulation of microparticles encapsulating green tea flavan-3-ols and caffeine. Electrostatic assisted extrusion ...
Trends in Encapsulation Technologies for Delivery of Food Bioactive Compounds
(Springer, New York, 2015)
The food industry expects increasingly complex properties (such as delayed release, stability, thermal protection, and suitable sensorial profile) from food ingredients, which often would not be able to be achieved without ...
Fully printed organic tandem solar cells using solution-processed silver nanowires and opaque silver as charge collecting electrodes
(Royal Soc Chemistry, Cambridge, 2015)
We report in this work efficient, fully printed tandem organic solar cells (OSCs) using solution-processed silver as the reflective bottom electrode and silver nanowires as the transparent top electrode. Employing two ...
The antimicrobial efficiency of silver activated sorbents
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2015)
This study is focused on the surface modifications of the materials that are used for antimicrobial water treatment. Sorbents of different origin were activated by Ag+-ions. The selection of the most appropriate materials ...
Sonophotocatalytic degradation of dye CI Acid Orange 7 by TiO2 and Ag nanoparticles immobilized on corona pretreated polypropylene non-woven fabric
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2015)
This study discusses the possibility of using corona pre-treated polypropylene (PP) non-woven fabric as a support for immobilization of colloidal TiO2 and Ag nanoparticles in order to remove dye C.I. Acid Orange 7 from ...
