Antimicrobial Activity of Silver, Copper, and Zinc Ions/Poly(Acrylate/Itaconic Acid) Hydrogel Matrices
(MDPI, 2022)
The design and use of new potent and specific antimicrobial systems are of crucial importance in the medical field. This will help relieve, fight, and eradicate infections and thus improve
human health. The use of metals ...
Effects of poly(vinyl alcohol) blending with Ag/alginate solutions to form nanocomposite fibres for potential use as antibacterial wound dressings
(Royal Society Publishing, 2022)
In this work, nanocomposite fibres and microfibres based on alginate and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were produced and characterized for potential application as antibacterial wound dressings. ...
Integration of soil washing and cork permeable reactive barriers for the remediation of soil contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2022)
Soil washing is a well-known technology for the remediation of soils polluted by organic contaminants, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). This study aimed to go further by integrating soil washing and ...
TiO2 nanotubes film/FTO glass interface: Thermal treatment effects
(ETRAN, 2022)
Pure Ti films deposited by radio-frequency magnetron sputtering on FTO glass were anodized to fabricate TiO2 nanotubes (NTs) arrays. The TiO2 NTs/FTO samples were sintered at 450, 550 and 630°C, in ambient air. The thermal ...
Statistical methods for designing a Geiger–Muller counter suitable for an early warning system
(Elsevier B.V., 2022)
The paper discusses statistical methods that can be applied when constructing the Geiger–Muller counters to obtain the same response to radiation, regardless of their dimensions. This issue is relevant for the improvement ...
Influence of pilling on the quality of flax single jersey knitted fabrics
(SAGE Publications Ltd, 2022)
In this work, the quality of four plain single jersey weft-knitted fabrics (produced from the same flax yarn) having different structural characteristics (stitch density, weight, and thickness) before and after pilling, ...
Volumetric and Transport Properties of Isoamyl Acetate Based Binary Systems-Experimental Determination and Modeling
(American Chemical Society, 2022)
Three binary mixtures consisting of isoamyl acetate and 1-butanol or isobutanol or isopentanol were experimentally investigated in terms of their density, viscosity refractive index, and ultrasonic speed of sound, in the ...
Achieving a Superhydrophobic, Moisture, Oil and Gas Barrier Film Using a Regenerated Cellulose–Calcium Carbonate Composite Derived from Paper Components or Waste
(MDPI, 2022)
It has been a persistent challenge to develop eco-friendly packaging cellulose film providing the required multiple barrier properties whilst simultaneously contributing to a circular economy. Typically, a cellulosic film ...
Multiblock copolymers containing poly(butylene succinate) and poly(ε-caprolactone) blocks: Effect of block ratio and length on physical properties and biodegradability
(Springer Science and Business Media B.V., 2022)
In order to obtain polymers with preserved thermal properties and tunable biodegradability multiblock copolymers comprising blocks of biodegradable polyesters poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) ...
Multispectral electromagnetic shielding and mechanical properties of carbon fabrics reinforced by silver deposition
(Materials Chemistry and Physics, 2022)
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) has become a widespread modern environmental pollutant. There is an essential need for practical and applicable materials for its attenuation. Therefore, the presented research has focused ...
