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 ...
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 ...
Stability of TEMPO-oxidized cotton fibers during natural aging
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2020)
Stability of cotton fibers oxidized by the 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxy radical (TEMPO)-mediated system during natural aging was monitored; the oxidized and five-year-aged fibers were characterized in terms of ...
Principal component analysis of morphological descriptors for monitoring surface defects induced by thermal shock
(Elsevier Ltd, 2021)
Pattern recognition techniques are applied to various morphological descriptors to monitor the formation and propagation of surface defects of materials subjected to thermal shock. A low-cement high-alumina castable was ...
Influence of Potassium Permanganate Oxidation on Structure and Properties of Cotton
(Taylor & Francis Inc, Philadelphia, 2022)
Cotton yarn was oxidized using the various concentrations and pH of potassium permanganate solutions, in order to investigate the influence of oxidation parameters on chemical, mechanical and sorption properties of cotton. ...
Systematic review: gastric microbiota in health and disease
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2020)
Background Helicobacter pylori is the most infamous constituent of the gastric microbiota and its presence is the strongest risk factor for gastric cancer and other gastroduodenal diseases. Although historically the healthy ...
Novel antimicrobial nanocomposite based on polypropylene non-woven fabric, biopolymer alginate and copper oxides nanoparticles
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2020)
The objective of this study was to develop novel antimicrobial nanocomposite material based on polypropylene (PP) non-woven fabric, biopolymer alginate and copper oxides nanoparticles. In order to introduce polar groups ...
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 ...
Absorption and fluorescence spectral properties of azo dyes based on 3-amido-6-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pyridone: Solvent and substituent effects
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2020)
A series of nine 5-(4-substituted phenylazo)-3-amido-6-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pyridones were synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, H-1 and C-13 NMR, UV-Vis, and PL spectroscopy. Photophysical properties of the dyes were ...
