Closing the loop: As(V) adsorption onto goethite impregnated coal-combustion fly ash as integral building materials
(Journal of Cleaner Production, 2021)
Fly and bottom ash(es) are the most abundant generated by-products of coal combustion in thermal power plants. This investigation offers a sustainable solution of a double and circular use of industrial waste material in ...
Valorization of unexploited artichoke leaves dust for obtaining of extracts rich in natural antioxidants
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2021)
This study has developed an improved and fast microwave-assisted procedure for extraction of high yields of natural antioxidants from artichoke leaves dust. The material is derived as an abundant residue remained after ...
Impedance analysis of milk quality using functionalized polyamide textile-based sensor
(Computers and Electronics in Agriculture, 2021)
Present paper demonstrates design and characterization of a textile based microfluidic chip sensor for the detection of milk adulteration through measuring the real part of the impedance and impedance phase angle. Polyamide ...
Analysis and experimental demonstration of forced periodic operation of an adiabatic stirred tank reactor: Simultaneous modulation of inlet concentration and total flow-rate
(Chemical Engineering Journal, 2021)
It is well known, that forced periodic operation possesses the potential for process improvements. Nevertheless, only a small number of applications is reported, due to complex realization, limited predictability and high ...
Development of comfortable and eco-friendly cellulose based textiles with improved sustainability
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2020)
Considering specific mechanical, hygienic and protective properties of hemp, as well as its positive
sustainability aspects, the raising role of hemp fibres in the textile sector can be expected. The limited
deformability ...
Tailoring the properties of waterborne polyurethanes by incorporating different content of poly(dimethylsiloxane)
(Progress in Organic Coatings, 2021)
A series of novel waterborne polyurethanes (WBPUs) was synthesized using alpha,omega-dihydroxypropyl poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS), isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI), 2,2-bis-(hydroxymethyl) propionic acid (DMPA) and triethylamine ...
Twin nucleation from a single lt c plus a > dislocation in hexagonal close-packed crystals
(Acta Materialia, 2021)
Twinning plays an important role in governing the balance between strength and ductility in hexagonal-close-packed (HCP) metals. Here, we report a combined experimental and theoretical study of twin nucleation from a single ...
Multifunctional jute fabrics obtained by different chemical modifications
(Springer, 2020)
The aim of the present research is first to reduce the jute fabric non-cellulosic components by using different chemical modifications (i.e. alkali and oxidative) and then to analyze their influence on the jute fabric ...
Effect of plasma treatment on chemical composition, structure and sorption properties of lignocellulosic hemp fibers (Cannabis sativa L.)
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2020)
Hemp fibers with different amount of hemicelluloses and lignin were subjected to atmospheric pressure dielectric barrier discharge under different conditions (40 W and 80 W power of discharge, const. time 120 s) in order ...
Hybrid acrylic nanocomposites with excellent transparency and hardness/toughness balance
(Elsevier B.V., 2020)
The composite nanofibers were used as reinforcement in acrylic polymer for the overall enhancement of thermo-mechanical properties, adhesion between fibers and matrix, and fracture toughness of the final nanocomposite since ...
