Reaction microkinetic model of xylose dehydration to furfural over beta zeolite catalyst
(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2023)
In recent decades, there has been a growing interest in bio-refineries as a crucial element in transitioning to a low-carbon economy. One specific aspect of this interest is the conversion of carbohydrates into separate ...
Dynamic light scattering analysis of immune complexes in sera of rheumatoid arthritis patients
(Academic Press Inc., 2023)
The size of circulating immune complexes (CICs) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) could be an emerging criterion in disease diagnosis. This study analyzed size and electrokinetic potential of CICs from RA patients, healthy young ...
Enzymatic Glycosylation Strategies in the Production of Bioactive Compounds
(MDPI, 2023)
Enzymatic glycosylation is a versatile and sustainable biotechnological approach that plays a pivotal role in the production of bioactive compounds. This process involves the enzymatic transfer of sugar moieties onto various ...
The transformation of cellulose acetate into a new biocidal polymer by effluent-free grafting in supercritical carbon dioxide
(Elsevier B.V., 2023)
The study reports an effluent-free, green process for the production of materials with favorable antibiofilm properties by cellulose acetate grafting with quaternary ammonium compounds in supercritical carbon dioxide. Two ...
Hydroxyapatite/poly(vinyl alcohol)/chitosan coating with gentamicin for orthopedic implants
(Elsevier Ltd., 2023)
Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) was employed to fabricate composite coatings aimed for orthopedic implants. Hydroxyapatite (HAP), poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and chitosan (CS) coatings, with or without antibiotic gentamicin ...
Zn2+/Poly(2-Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Itaconic Acid) Hydrogels as Potential Antibacterial Wound Dressings
(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2023)
Antibacterial hydrogels, as an advanced approach, can create optimal conditions for wound healing, even in the fight against stubborn and difficult-to-treat wound infections. Interestingly, pH is an often neglected clinical ...
Influence of added extracts of herbs (salvia lavandulifolia, salvia officinalis) and fruits (malpighia glabra) on rheological, textural, and functional (AChE-inhibitory and antioxidant activity) characteristics of dark chocolate
(Springer, 2023)
In this study, a new product was evaluated: enriched dark chocolate with two encapsulated plant extracts: Salvia Lavandiulaefolia and Salvia officinalis with the addition of fruit extract Malpighia glabra (acerola). ...
Predicting liquid chromatography−electrospray ionization/mass spectrometry signal from the structure of model compounds and experimental factors; case study of aripiprazole and its impurities
(Elsevier B.V., 2023)
A priori estimation of analyte response is crucial for the efficient development of liquid chromatography–electrospray ionization/mass spectrometry (LC–ESI/MS) methods, but remains a demanding task given the lack of knowledge ...
Evaluation of the antibacterial effectiveness of novel copper/polypyrrole nanocomposite
(Elsevier B.V., 2023)
A novel and effective antibacterial agent based on a combination of copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) and polypyrrole (PPy) is presented. By using a straightforward in situ polymerization method in water, a copper/polypyrrole ...
The impact of the polycaprolactone content on the properties of polyurethane networks
(Elsevier Ltd., 2023)
The influence of soft segment (SS) content on the properties of novel polyurethane networks (PUNs), prepared by a two-step polymerization in a solvent mixture, was investigated in this work. Hyperbranched polyester of the ...
