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 ...
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 ...
The structural, electrical and optical properties of spark plasma sintered BaSn1-xSbxO3 ceramics
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2020)
Antimony doped barium-stannate dense ceramic materials were synthesized using spark plasma sintering technique out of mechanically activated precursor powders. The influence of various Sb concentrations (x = 0.00 - 0.10) ...
Structural insight into the fiber dyeing ability: Pyridinium arylazo pyridone dyes
(Elsevier Ltd., 2021)
Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of nine 6-hydroxy-4-methyl-3-pyridinium-2-pyridone based azo dyes, wherein, eight of them being novel. Used building blocks ensured water solubility of six dyes and made ...
Recommendations for replacing PET on packaging, fiber, and film materials with biobased counterparts
(Green Chemistry, 2021)
This review sheds light on urgent questions that arise from the need to replace a polymer resin,-poly(ethylene terephthalate), which represents 7.7% market-share in the global plastic demand (Plastics-the Facts 2019), by ...
The chitosan-based bioactive composite coating on titanium
(Elsevier B.V., 2021)
This paper describes a promising electrophoretic deposition (EPD) approach for developing composite coatings based on chitosan with the additional components of hydroxyapatite, graphene, and gentamicin on titanium substrate. ...
Old Plant, New Possibilities: Wild Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L., Ericaceae) in Topical Skin Preparation
(Antioxidants, 2021)
Bilberry represents a valuable source of antioxidant substances responsible for its application for the treatment of different conditions (such as inflammation, cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, and different ...
Characterization of potential probiotic strain, L. reuteri B2, and its microencapsulation using alginate-based biopolymers
(International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2021)
In this study, Lactobacillus reuteri B2 was isolated from the feces of C57BL/6 mice and assessed on probiotic activity. L. reuteri B2 was identified by 16S rDNA sequencing, which the cell viability in acidic conditions at ...
The effect of the ultrasound agitation and source of ceria particles on the morphology and structure of the Zn-Co-CeO2 composite coatings
(Journal of Materials Research and Technology-JMR&T, 2021)
The goal of this research was to develop and analyse novel Zn-Co-CeO2 protective coatings on steel. Two different sources of ceria (CeO2) particles were employed: commercial powder and synthesized stable colloidal ...
