Smart poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate/itaconic acid) hydrogels for biomedical application
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2010)
pH- and temperature-sensitive hydrogels, based on 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and itaconic acid (IA) copolymers, were prepared by gamma-irradiation and characterized in order to examine their potential use in ...
Study on the photocatalytic degradation of insecticide methomyl in water
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2010)
Photo-Fenton degradation of the insecticide methomyl in water using Fe-ZSM-5 zeolite and AlFe-pillared montmorillonite catalysts under halogen lamp light was studied. The study was performed at room temperature in a glass ...
The influence of aluminium surface pretreatment on the corrosion stability and adhesion of powder polyester coating
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2010)
One of the most important factors in corrosion prevention by protective coatings is the coating adhesion loss under environmental influence. Thus, adhesion strength is often used when characterizing protective properties ...
Optimization Approach for Continuous Catalytic Regenerative Reformer Processes
(Amer Chemical Soc, Washington, 2010)
The new approach for simulation and optimization of a continuous catalytic regenerative (CCR) reformer process is proposed. Typical CCR reforming processes consist of three to four reactors with recycle. The reaction ...
Fast evaluation of periodic operation of a heterogeneous reactor based on nonlinear frequency response analysis
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2010)
The concept of higher-order frequency response functions (FRFs), which is based on Volterra series representation of nonlineral systems, is used to analyse the time-average performance of a perfectly mixed reactor subject ...
Synthesis of antimicrobial monophase silver-doped hydroxyapatite nanopowders for bone tissue engineering
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2011)
Monophase silver-doped hydroxyapatite (AgxCa10-x(PO4)(6)(OH)(2); 0.002 lt = x lt = 0.04) nanoparticles were prepared using a neutralization method and investigated with respect to potential medical applications. This ...
Thermal and optical properties of silver-poly(methylmethacrylate) nanocomposites prepared by in-situ radical polymerization
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2010)
Surface modified silver nanoparticles dispersed in chloroform were encapsulated in poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) by in-situ radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate initiated by 2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile. The ...
Evaluation of periodic operation of a trickle-bed reactor based on empirical modeling
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2010)
In this paper, we propose a new procedure for fast evaluation of the potential of periodic operations in trickle-bed reactors, based on empirical modeling. Step response experiments, with different input amplitudes, were ...
The effect of the addition of colloidal iridium oxide into sol-gel obtained titanium and ruthenium oxide coatings on titanium on their electrochemical properties
(Royal Soc Chemistry, Cambridge, 2010)
Electrochemical properties of sol-gel processed Ti(0.6)Ir(0.4)O(2) and Ti(0.6)Ru(0.3)Ir(0.1)O(2) coatings on titanium substrate were investigated using cyclic voltammetry, polarization measurements and electrochemical ...
A Validated Model of GAG Deposition, Cell Distribution, and Growth of Tissue Engineered Cartilage Cultured in a Rotating Bioreactor
(John Wiley & Sons Inc, Hoboken, 2010)
In this work a new phenomenological model of growth of cartilage tissue cultured in a rotating bioreactor is developed. It represents an advancement of a previously derived model of deposition of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) ...
