Closing the Loop: Dyeing and Adsorption Potential of Mulberry Wood Waste
(Journal of Natural Fibers, 2022)
This study reports the successful transformation of mulberry wood waste into natural textile dye and adsorbent for Pb2+ ions from an aqueous solution. Fabrics of different chemical compositions were dyed using mulberry ...
Thermal Design Method for Optimization of Dry Heat Transfer through Hemp-Based Knitted Fabrics
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2022)
In the present research, folding of yarns was applied as a method for designing thermal transport characteristics of hemp-based knits. The rib-knitted fabrics were made by combining one of two cotton two-folded yarns ...
Effect of chemical modifications and coating with Cu-based nanoparticles on the electro-physical properties of jute fabrics in a condition of high humidity
(Elsevier B.V., 2022)
The electro-physical properties of raw, alkali and oxidatively modified jute fabrics were investigated as complex phenomena of the interactions between the fabrics’ chemical composition, carboxyl group content, crystallinity, ...
Investigation of seasonal variations and multiple fuel options in a novel tri-generation CSP integrated hybrid energy process
(Elsevier Ltd, 2022)
This work presents a novel Mixed-Integer Non-linear Program (MINLP) that accounts for the presence of multiple fuels in tri-generation systems. The key novelty of this work pertains to the use of hybrid energy systems in ...
Renewable hydrogen production perspective in Serbia via biogas generated from food processing wastewaters
(Elsevier Ltd, 2022)
Renewable hydrogen produced from the waste streams can be a good option for clean energy production and reduction of greenhouse gases emissions into the environment. In this study, the potential for hydrogen production ...
Antioxidant and cell-friendly Fe2TiO5 nanoparticles for food packaging application
(Elsevier Ltd, 2022)
An emerging technology of active packaging enables prolongation of food shelf life by limiting the oxygen transfer and the reactivity of free radicals, which both destruct food freshness. In this work, Fe2TiO5 nanoparticles ...
Enhanced Antimicrobial Activity of Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Treated and Aged Cotton Fibers
(Journal of Natural Fibers, 2022)
In this work, plasma pretreatment of raw cotton fibers combined with silver sorption was used for the preparation of antimicrobial fabrics. Special attention was given to the aging effect investigated seven days after ...
Acetylation of cellulose – Another pathway of natural cellulose aging during library storage of books and papers
(Elsevier Ltd, 2022)
Gaseous acetic acid is formed under conditions of storage of historic paper objects. Its presence not only promotes hydrolytic cleavage of cellulose, but also causes acetylation of the cellulosic material to very small ...
Novel eco-friendly initiation system based on vitamin C for energy efficient synthesis of PMAA hydrogel used for delivery of phenolic compounds
(Elsevier B.V., 2023)
This study reports successful free radical synthesis of pH-sensitive hydrogels based on poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) by using new green initiation system based on vitamin C and hydrogen peroxide (VC/H2O2). The application ...
The Effect of Nanofibrillated Tempo-oxidized Cotton Linters on the Strength and Optical Properties of Paper
(Journal of Natural Fibers, 2022)
This study elaborates the application of composite films based on nanofibrillated cellulose obtained from cotton linters oxidized in the 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl radical (TEMPO)/NaBr/NaClO system, with the use ...
