Hydrothermal synthesis of TiO2/carbon composites and their application for removal of organic pollutants
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2019)
TiO2/carbon composites were synthesized by hydrothermal carbonization, using titanium isopropoxide and glucose precursor solution to obtain composites with Ti/C molar ratios ranging from 0.05 to 0.30. Characterization of ...
Hydrometallurgical Process for Selective Metals Recovery from Waste-Printed Circuit Boards
(MDPI, Basel, 2018)
This paper presents an experimentally-proved hydrometallurgical process for selective metals recovery from the waste-printed circuit boards (WPCBs) using a combination of conventional and time-saving methods: leaching, ...
Natural Macromolecules as Carriers for Essential Oils: From Extraction to Biomedical Application
(Frontiers Media Sa, Lausanne, 2020)
Essential oils (EOs) and their main constituents, the terpenes, are widely studied, mostly relating to their antioxidant ability and bioactivity, such as antimicrobial, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and range of other ...
Real-Time AFM and Impedance Corrosion Monitoring of Environmentally Friendly Ceria Films on AA7075
(Electrochemical Soc Inc, Pennington, 2020)
Cerium-based conversion coatings have emerged as promising green alternatives to the harmful chromium-based ones, but the mechanism of corrosive protection still remains a subject of academic and industrial research. This ...
Removal of Nickel Ions from Aqueous Solutions by 2-Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Itaconic Acid Hydrogels Optimized with Response Surface Methodology
(Gels, 2021)
The adsorption of Ni2+ ions from water solutions by using hydrogels based on 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA) and itaconic acid (IA) was studied. Hydrogel synthesis was optimized with response surface methodology (RSM). The ...
Microstructural and Cavitation Erosion Behavior of the CuAlNi Shape Memory Alloy
(Metals, 2021)
Microstructural and cavitation erosion testing was carried out on Cu-12.8Al-4.1Ni (wt. %) shape memory alloy (SMA) samples produced by continuous casting followed by heat treatment consisting of solution annealing at 885 ...
Polyhydroxyalkanoate/Antifungal Polyene Formulations with Monomeric Hydroxyalkanoic Acids for Improved Antifungal Efficiency
(Antibiotics, 2021)
Novel biodegradable and biocompatible formulations of "old" but "gold" drugs such as nystatin (Nys) and amphotericin B (AmB) were made using a biopolymer as a matrix. Medium chain length polyhydroxyalkanoates (mcl-PHA) ...
Selenate adsorption from water using the hydrous iron oxide-impregnated hybrid polymer
(MDPI, Basel, 2020)
Hybrid adsorbent, based on the cross-linked copolymer impregnated with hydrous iron oxide, was applied for the first time for Se(VI) adsorption from water. The influence of the initial solution pH, selenate concentration ...
Chitosan Nanoparticles Functionalized Viscose Fabrics as Potentially Durable Antibacterial Medical Textiles
(Materials, 2021)
This research proposed two pretreatments of viscose fabrics: oxidation with 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxy radical (TEMPO) and coating with TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibrils (TOCN), to introduce functional groups ...
Enhanced Skin Performance of Emulgel vs. Cream as Systems for Topical Delivery of Herbal Actives (Immortelle Extract and Hemp Oil)
(Pharmaceutics, 2021)
Immortelle, as rich source of chlorogenic acid and the phloroglucinol alpha-pyrone compound arzanol, possesses anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, affects cell regeneration, and has positive effect on many skin ...
