The influence of corona treatment and impregnation with colloidal TiO2 nanoparticles on biodegradability of cotton fabric
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2017)
This study discusses the effect of corona pre-treatment at atmospheric pressure and subsequent loading of colloidal TiO2 nanoparticles on the biodegradation behavior of cotton fabric. Biodegradation performance of the ...
Influence of different pore-forming agents on wollastonite microstructures and adsorption capacities
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
In this study, porous macro- and micro-cellular wollastonite-based ceramics was synthesized. A ceramic precursor, methylhydrocyclosiloxane, together with micro-sized CaCO3, was used as a starting material. After 20 min of ...
A differential multi-criteria analysis for the assessment of sustainability performance of European countries: Beyond country ranking
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
Sustainable development as a concept that aims to enhance the quality of life without affecting environment has been in focus in European policies since the last decade of 20th century. The objectives of EU Sustainable ...
Highly ordered macroporous gamma-alumina prepared by a modified sol-gel method with a PMMA microsphere template for enhanced Pb2+, Ni2+ and Cd2+ removal
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
The adsorption performance of three-dimensionally ordered macroporous (3DOM) gamma-alumina was investigated for enhanced Pb2+, Ni2+ and Cd2+ removal. The synthesis was based on a modified sol-gel method using a colloidal ...
Production of bioethanol from pre-treated cotton fabrics and waste cotton materials
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
This study highlights the potential of cotton fabric as a promising feedstock for the production of bioethanol as renewable biofuel. The effect of corona pre-treatment of non-mercerized and mercerized cotton fabrics on ...
Multi-criteria sustainability analysis of thermal power plant Kolubara-A Unit 2
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
The paper presents a possible approach for creating business decisions based on multi-criteria analysis. Seven options for a possible revitalization of the thermal power plant "Kolubara"-A Unit No. 2 with energy indicators ...
Pectin-polyvinylpyrrolidone films: A sustainable approach to the development of biobased packaging materials
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
In this work, the new biodegradable blend films composed of natural polymer pectin and synthetic polymer polyvinylpyrrolidone were obtained through casting process. The concentration of glycerol in all formulations was ...
Step-controlled Brownian motion of nanosized liquid Pb inclusions in a solid Al matrix
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
We have made direct observations of the Brownian motion of individual nanosized liquid lead inclusions in solid aluminum by in-situ transmission electron microscopy. The process was found to depend strongly on the size of ...
Improvement of mechanical properties and antibacterial activity of crosslinked electrospun chitosan/poly (ethylene oxide) nanofibers
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
In this study conditions for green crosslinking with citric acid of chitosan/PEO (polyethylene oxide) nanofibers were evaluated. The thermal in situ crosslinking enabled penetration of crosslinking agent into the matrix ...
Simple One-Pot Synthesis of Fully Biobased Unsaturated Polyester Resins Based on Itaconic Acid
(Amer Chemical Soc, Washington, 2017)
For the preparation of fully biobased unsaturated polyester resins (UPRs), the replacement of styrene with alternate nonpetroleum-based monomers turned out to be one of the most challenging tasks. Its complexity lies in ...
