Nonlinear frequency response analysis: a recent review and perspectives
(Current Opinion in Electrochemistry, 2021)
The nonlinear frequency response analysis (NFRA) can be seen as an extension of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. NFRA gives a full and detailed representation of the system response and can establish a connection ...
A universal transportation model for reverse osmosis systems
(Computers & Chemical Engineering, 2021)
This paper presents a new transport model for reverse osmosis (RO) systems, which combines irreversible thermodynamics, together with solution-diffusion theory. The simplifications adopted by the classical theory for ...
Semi-Crystalline Copolymer Hydrogels as Smart Drug Carriers: In Vitro Thermo-Responsive Naproxen Release Study
(Pharmaceutics, 2021)
In this study, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate) hydrogels were synthesized using free radical initiated copolymerization method. Four hydrogels with different cross-linker concentrations were ...
Oxidized Hemp Fibers with Simultaneously Increased Capillarity and Reduced Moisture Sorption as Suitable Textile Material for Advanced Application in Sportswear
(Fibers and Polymers, 2021)
Applications of hemp fibers, as a promising natural material in the textile field, mostly require improved fiber properties. In this paper, the oxidation of hemp fibers with potassium permanganate was applied to reduce the ...
Agricultural waste as a source of peroxidase for wastewater treatment: Insight in kinetics and process parameters optimization for anthraquinone dye removal
(Environmental Technology & Innovation, 2021)
The number of different technologies available for colored wastewater treatment shows the vastness of the issue. Finding the most feasible one, yet taking into account the cost, the efficiency and eco-friendliness is like ...
Welded joint geometry effect on fatigue crack growth resistance in different metallic materials
(International Journal of Fatigue, 2021)
Fatigue crack growth through different welded joint regions was investigated, in terms of welded joint geometry and fatigue crack position. In the first phase of investigation, numerical simulation of crack growth in a ...
Regenerated Cellulose Fiber Functionalization by Two-step Oxidation Using Sodium Periodate and Sodium Chlorite - Impact on the Structure and Sorption Properties
(Korean Fiber Society, 2021)
Successful conversion of cellulose hydroxyl (OH) to carboxyl (COOH) groups is the goal of many modification procedures since COOH groups enhance the polarity of the fibers' surface and can be used for further fibers' ...
Iso- and Anisotropic Etching of Micro Nanofibrillated Cellulose Films by Sequential Oxygen and Nitrogen Gas Plasma Exposure for Tunable Wettability on Crystalline and Amorphous Regions
(Materials, 2021)
The surface of cellulose films, obtained from micro nanofibrillated cellulose produced with different enzymatic pretreatment digestion times of refined pulp, was exposed to gas plasma, resulting in a range of surface ...
Pulsed electric field treatment of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus and Lacticaseibacillus paracasei, bacteria with probiotic potential
(Lwt-Food Science and Technology, 2021)
Lactic acid bacteria play an important role in functional food and fermentation products for human and animal nutrition, as probiotics, paraprobiotics, postbiotics or high-lactic acid-producing strains in biorefineries. ...
Potential application of low molecular weight excipients for amorphization and dissolution enhancement of carvedilol
(International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 2021)
In this study, four low molecular weight (LMW) excipients, tryptophan (TRY), phenylalanine (PHE), lysine (LYS) and saccharin (SAC) were evaluated as co-formers to generate co-amorphous systems (CAMS) by ball milling with ...
