Effect of Moisture on the Mechanical Properties of Wood–Plastic Composites Hybridized with Metal Grid Layers
(MDPI, 2023)
Wood–plastic composites (WPCs) are some of the most common modern composite materials for interior and exterior design that combine natural waste wood properties and the molding possibility of a thermoplastic polymer binder. ...
Ecological and Health Risks Attributed to Rare Earth Elements in Coal Fly Ash
(MDPI, 2024)
The occurrence and distribution of yttrium and rare earth elements (REYs), along with major elements and heavy metal(loid)s (HMs) in coal fly ash (CFA) from five coal-fired power plants (CFPPs), were analyzed, and the ...
Spatial Variability of Rare Earth Elements in Groundwater in the Vicinity of a Coal-Fired Power Plant and Associated Health Risk
(MDPI, 2024)
This study investigated the occurrence and distribution of rare earth elements (REEs), including 14 lanthanoids, scandium (Sc), and yttrium (Y), in groundwater around a large coal-fired thermal power plant (TPP). The ICP-MS ...
Obtaining Medical Textiles Based on Viscose and Chitosan/Zinc Nanoparticles with Improved Antibacterial Properties by Using a Dielectric Barrier Discharge
(MDPI, 2022)
This study aimed to obtain functional viscose textiles based on chitosan coatings with improved antibacterial properties and washing durability. For that reason, before functionalization with chitosan/zinc nanoparticles ...
Structural, Mechanical, and Barrier Properties of the Polyvinylidene Fluoride-Bacterial Nanocellulose-Based Hybrid Composite
(MDPI, 2024)
This study presents an analysis of films which consist of two layers; one layer is PVDF as the matrix, along with fillers BaTiO3 (BT), and the second is one bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) filled with Fe3O4. The mass fraction ...
Cleavage Fracture of the Air Cooled Medium Carbon Microalloyed Forging Steels with Heterogeneous Microstructures
(MDPI, 2022)
Cleavage fracture of the V and Ti-V microalloyed forging steels was investigated by the four-point bending testing of the notched specimens of Griffith-Owen’s type at −196◦ C, in conjunction with the finite element analysis ...
Citric Acid Cross-Linked Gelatin-Based Composites with Improved Microhardness
(MDPI, 2024)
The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of cross-linking and reinforcements in gelatin on the physico-mechanical properties of obtained composites. The gelatin-based composites cross-linked with citric acid ...
Vitamin B Complex and Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis—Attenuation of the Clinical Signs and Gut Microbiota Dysbiosis
(MDPI, 2022)
The present study aimed to investigate the neuroprotective effects of the vitamin B complex (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, and B12—VBC), by studying the changes in the femoral nerve, quadriceps muscle, popliteal lymph nodes and gut ...
Coriolus versicolor Mushroom Grown on Selenium-Rich Zeolitic Tuff as a Potential Novel Food Supplement
(University of Zagreb, 2022)
Research background. In the recent years, considerable attention has been given to selenium status since its deficiency is linked with various disorders and affects at least 13 % of world population. Additionally, mushrooms ...
Separation of high-value extracts from Silybum marianum seeds: Influence of extraction technique and storage on composition and bioactivity
(Academic Press, 2022)
Extracts from Silybum marianum seeds have high industrial potential due to their application as phytopharmaceuticals and food. In order to optimize its production, conventional extraction (in Soxhlet apparatus using solvents ...
