Transparent PMMA/silica nanocomposites containing silica nanoparticles coating under supercritical conditions
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2013)
This work reports the preparation of PMMA/silica nanocomposites with high optical transparency and enhanced mechanical properties using a melt compounding method. The surface of SiO2 particles was modified with a ...
Heteroatom-doped mesoporous carbons as efficient adsorbents for removal of dimethoate and omethoate from water
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016)
Extensive use of organophosphate pesticides (OPs) invokes development of efficient procedures for their removal from the environment. By introducing low levels ( LT 1 at%) of B, N or P into the structure of mesoporous ...
Chitosan contribution on wool treatments with enzyme
(Elsevier Ltd., 2008)
In a previous research work, it was observed that the application of biopolymer chitosan (CHT) on wool fabrics before the enzymatic treatment promotes an increase of the weight loss. In order to deep on the role played by ...
Lipase-Catalyzed Esterification of Phloridzin: Acyl Donor Effect on Enzymatic Affinity and Antioxidant Properties of Esters
(Amer Chemical Soc, Washington, 2014)
Lipase-catalyzed acylation of phloridzin with a wide range of fatty acids and antioxidant activities of synthesized esters were investigated in this study. Polar solvents were suitable reaction media for esterification, ...
Hydrothermal conversion of grape pomace: Detailed characterization of obtained hydrochar and liquid phase
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2016)
In this study, carbonization products of grape pomace (hydrochar and process water) have been thoroughly characterized in order to assess its fuel properties, physico-chemical composition and to optimize its production. ...
Surface modifications of biometallic commercially pure Ti and Ti-13Nb-13Zr alloy by picosecond Nd:YAG laser
(Springer, New York, 2021)
The effects of picosecond Nd:YAG laser irradiation on chemical and morphological surface characteristics of the commercially pure titanium and Ti-13Nb-13Zr alloy in air and argon atmospheres were studied under different ...
The effect of gamma irradiation on the synthesis, microbiological sterility, and improvement of properties of PMMA-Al2O3 composite used in dental prosthesis manufacturing
(Elsevier Ltd, 2023)
Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is a polymer material widely used in dental applications due to its excellent biocompatibility, stable physicochemical properties, easy manipulation, and low cost. The combination of biocompatible ...
FSP1 is a predictive biomarker of osteosarcoma cells’ susceptibility to ferroptotic cell death and a potential therapeutic target
(Springer Nature, 12-2024)
Human osteosarcoma (OS) is a relatively rare malignancy preferentially affecting long body bones which prognosis is often poor also due to the lack of effective therapies. Clinical management of this cancer basically relies ...
Controlled release of lipase from Candida rugosa loaded into hydrogels of N-isopropylacrylamide and itaconic acid
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2012)
The series of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-itaconic acid) hydrogels, with lipase from Candida rugosa as a model protein, were synthesized by free radical copolymerization. The composition of hydrogels was varied by monomers ...
Novel composite films based on amidated pectin for cationic dye adsorption
(Elsevier, 2014)
Pectin, with its tendency to gel in the presence of metal ions has become a widely used material for capturing the metal ions from wastewaters. Its dye-capturing properties have been much less investigated, and this paper ...
