Antimicrobial properties of (meth)acrylate based hydrogels
(An Introduction to Antibacterial Properties, 2020)
The rapid emergence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens is becoming an imminent global public health problem. The development of novel antimicrobial materials aiming to prevent or control infections caused by these pathogens ...
Semi-interpenetrating networks based on (Meth)acrylate, itaconic acid, and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) hydrogels for biomedical applications
(Springer Singapore, 2020)
In this study, three series of semi-interpenetrating networks were synthesized based on 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA), itaconic acid (IA), and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) as interpenetrating ...
Environmental Pollution in the Vicinity of an Aluminium Smelter in Siberia
(Springer, Cham., 2022)
Detailed studies of snow and soil contamination within the influence zone of the Irkutsk Aluminium Metallurgical Plant were carried out for the period of 1996–2015. The main types of atmospheric and soil pollution and the ...
Hemp-Based Materials for Applications in Wastewater Treatment by Biosorption-Oriented Processes: A Review
(Singapore : Springer Nature, 2022)
Treatment of wastewater pollution is a critical issue in the context of growing population and industrialization. Actual treatment methods are expensive and not fully effective and rely on fossil fuel-derived chemicals, ...
Chemical Modifications of Jute Fiber Properties for Lifecycle Enhancement by Utilization in Wastewater Treatment
(New York : Nova Science Publishers, Inc., 2022)
The increased demand for cheap, biodegradable, renewable, and recyclable fibers with exceptional properties positioned jute (Corchorus capsularis L. and Corchorus olitorius L.) in the second place (after cotton) in the ...
A Life Cycle Energy Assessment for Biogas as Energy Carrier
(Springer International Publishing, 2023)
This chapter aims to evaluate energy flows in the life cycle of biogas utilization (i.e., production of thermal energy, cogeneration, traffic, and production of hydrogen), starting from feedstock and anaerobic digestion, ...
Controlled Release Systems for Food Application
(CRC Press, 2022)
The controlled active molecule-delivery technology has progressed over the last decades, with the development of sustained release systems for application in food sector. It is useful to control the rate and extent of food ...
Microbiota changes throughout life - an overview
(Elsevier, 2022)
Over the course of human evolutionary path, our microbiota has co-evolved to achieve a solid relationship with the human host in various body sites. The most densely populated site is the distal gut and gut microbiota is ...
Encapsulation Techniques for Food Purposes
(CRC Press, 2022)
Demand for functional food that offers health benefits beyond basic nutrition is increasing. However, challenges in development of nutritionally-enriched food are often limiting its wider production. Generally, the bioactivity ...
The Role of Plant Cell Wall Degrading Enzymes in Biorefinery Development
(Wiley, 2022)
The utilization of lignocellulosic biomass for biofuel production is a very important
step in the transition towards to the circular economy. Within this process, the enzymatic
hydrolysis are employed in a conversion ...
