Antimicrobial Bioactive Band-Aids with Prolonged and Controlled Action
(Medical and Healthcare Textiles, 2010)
The paper discusses the antimicrobial bioactive band-aids, a modem means of wound management and healing, which are effective against a wide spectrum of microorganisms. Ion-exchange fibres and nonwoven textile materials ...
Synthesis and characterization of polystyrene based nanocomposites
(Polystyrene: Synthesis, Characteristics and Applications, 2014)
Polystyrene, one of the most important material in the modern plastic industry and one of the major synthetic polymer in use today, offers an extremely broad range of applications, due to its good physical properties and ...
Study of homogenization treatments of cast 5xxx series ai-mg-mn alloy modified with zn
(Light Metals 2012, 2016)
Microstructural changes of DC-cast 5xxx series AI-Mg-Mn alloy modified with Zn addition occurring during the homogenization treatments were studied through the thickness of a rolling ingot. The homogenization treatments ...
Removal of Synthetic Dyes from Wastewaters Using Horseradish Peroxidase
(New York: Nova Science Publishers, Inc., 2019)
Horseradish peroxidase is a heme-containing plant enzyme (HRP; EC 1.11.1.7) with a wide range of biotechnological and medical applications. In combination with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as an oxidant HRP can be used in the ...
Advances in mathematical modeling of supercritical extraction processes
(Mathematical Research Summaries, 2017)
A new trend in mathematical modeling of supercritical extraction process from plant material is presented. The most of the previously published models considered properties of the fixed bed of plant material during the ...
High pressure modified cotton in wound dressing applications
(Cotton Fibres: Characteristics, Uses and Performance, 2017)
The use of cotton in wound dressing applications is discussed in this chapter. Cotton gauze provides flexibility, controlled adherence to the surrounding tissue, gas permeability, durability and absorbance of fluids exuded ...
Micro and nanoscale morphology characterization of compatibilized polymer blends by microscopy
(Compatibilization of Polymer Blends: Micro and Nano Scale Phase Morphologies, Interphase Characteriz, 2019)
Polymer blends are mostly immiscible at a molecular level due to their large molecular mass. Therefore, the study of the way how two polymers are mixed together is of great interest. The properties of the polymer blend are ...
Biodiesel Fuel Production by Enzymatic Transesterification of Oils: Recent Trends, Challenges and Future Perspectives
(IntechOpen, 2011)
Liquid fuels have been used for many years as the most dominant and basic fuel for motor
engines. However, declining fossil fuel resources as well as the tendency for developing
new renewable biofuels have shifted the ...
Erythrocyte membranes: Unique constituent of biological/hybri drug delivery systems
(Erythrocytes: Structure, Functions and Clinical Aspects, 2019)
For many decades, the red blood cell membranes were in focus of research interest solely as a model system for investigation into the various membrane-related phenomena, composition/organization or membrane transport ...
Vegetable oil as a feedstock for biodiesel synthesis
(Vegetable Oil: Properties, Uses and Benefits, 2016)
Limited reserves of fossil fuels as well as the growing concern for the environment, has led to a worldwide search for renewable energy sources, among which biodiesel, a mixture of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME), is one ...
