TEMPO-oxidized cotton as a substrate for trypsin immobilization: impact of functional groups on proteolytic activity and stability
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2017)
Cotton fibers containing different amounts of aldehyde and carboxyl groups were prepared by varying TEMPO oxidation conditions and then employed as carriers for trypsin immobilization. Depending on the functional group ...
Biodegradation of cotton and cotton/polyester with Ag/TiO2 nanoparticles in soil
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
This study discusses the biodegradation behavior of cotton and cotton/PET fabrics impregnated with Ag/TiO2 nanoparticles in soil. Biodegradation behavior was evaluated by standard test method ASTM 5988-03 based on determination ...
Preparation and characterization of bismuth germanium oxide (BGO) polymer composites
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2017)
Bismuth germanium oxide Bi12GeO20 (BGO) has very interesting electrical, optical and magnetic properties. In order to make devices based on this material more flexible, its powder was used for preparing polymer composites. ...
Re-formation of metastable epsilon-Fe2O3 in post-annealing of Fe2O3/SiO2 nanostructure: Synthesis, computational particle shape analysis in micrographs and magnetic properties
(Ceramics International, 2017)
Several Fe2O3/SiO2 nanostructures were synthesized by the combination of the microemulsion and a sol-gel methods. Based on X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and magnetic measurements (giant coercivity similar to 2.13 T) we ...
Development of low calorie jams with increased content of natural dietary fibre made from tomato pomace
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
In this study, four jam formulations were developed, starting with the basic formulation (Jam 1) containing sucrose and without added pectin. Sucrose was partially (50%) replaced by stevioside in formulations of Jam 2 and ...
Improvement of supercritical CO2 and n-hexane extraction of wild growing pomegranate seed oil by microwave pretreatment
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2017)
Microwave radiation was suggested as a pretreatment technique to increase the yield of pomegranate seed oil. Seeds were pretreated at 100, 250 and 600 W during 2 and 6 min and then extracted by supercritical carbon dioxide ...
Novel modified nanocellulose applicable as reinforcement in high-performance nanocomposites
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
The influence of modification and vacuum/supercritical CO2 (scCO(2)) drying methods on the surface properties, morphology and thermal stability of cellulose nanocrystals (NC) was presented in this study. Introduction of ...
Influence of different pore-forming agents on wollastonite microstructures and adsorption capacities
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
In this study, porous macro- and micro-cellular wollastonite-based ceramics was synthesized. A ceramic precursor, methylhydrocyclosiloxane, together with micro-sized CaCO3, was used as a starting material. After 20 min of ...
Comparative life cycle assessment of Ni-based catalyst synthesis processes
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
Ni-based catalysts supported on ceramics are particularly suitable for industrial applications, for instance reforming of hydrocarbons to produce synthesis gas or hydrogen and production of carbon nanofibers. Conventional ...
Production of enzymes by a newly isolated Bacillus sp TMF-1 in solid state fermentation on agricultural by-products: The evaluation of substrate pretreatment methods
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
Study on potential of different agro-industrial waste residues for supporting the growth of newly isolated Bacillus sp. TMF-1 strain under solid-state fermentation (SSF) was conducted aiming to produce several industrially ...
