Obtaining Polysaccharide-Based Fabrics with Improved Moisture Sorption and Dye Adsorption Properties
(MDPI, 2023)
Raw jute fabric was treated with 0.5, 1.0, or 2.0% chitosan solution to improve its sorption
properties (evaluated through the moisture sorption and adsorption of textile dye Reactive Orange 16 (RO 16)), which are essential ...
Plasma Treatment as a Sustainable Method for Enhancing the Wettability of Jute Fabrics
(MDPI, 2023)
In this paper, raw jute fabric was subjected to atmospheric pressure dielectric barrier discharge (at 150 or 300 Hz) to enhance its wettability, i.e., capillarity and wetting time. Attenuated Total Reflectance-Fourier ...
Evaluation of In Vitro Skin Permeation of Enzymatically Synthesized Phloridzin Acetates from Emulsions and Liposomes Dispersed in Gel
(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2022)
This work aims to evaluate the effect of cosmetic formulations on the skin permeation of phloridzin acetates, therefore in vitro transdermal delivery of these bioactive compounds across Strat-M membrane is investigated. ...
Whey as a Carrier Material for Blueberry Bioactive Components: Incorporation in White Chocolate
(MDPI, 2022)
White chocolate is considered an unhealthier product than dark and milk chocolate due to the absence of cocoa solids containing polyphenols and other valuable components such as minerals and dietary fiber. This paper aimed ...
Prebiotic effect of galacto-oligosaccharides on the skin microbiota and determination of their diffusion properties
(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2022)
Recently, prebiotics are attracting plenty of attention in the field of skin care, since it is found that they are able to support the balance of beneficial and harmful microorganisms on the skin, and accordingly prevent ...
Black Pine (Pinus nigra) Essential Oil as a Green Corrosion Inhibitor for Carbon Steel
(MDPI, 2023)
In this work, the essential oil of black pine (Pinus nigra J. F. Arnold) was used for the first time as a natural, ecological, and sustainable corrosion inhibitor for the acid cleaning of carbon steel. The essential oil ...
The surprising discovery of two new subterranean Leptodirini of the genus Spelaeobates Müller, 1901 (Coleoptera, Leiodidae, Cholevinae) from Croatia after more than a century
(Pensoft Publishers, 2023)
Two new subterranean leiodid taxa of the genus Spelaeobates Müller, 1901 from three pits in northern Dalmatia (Croatia), S. coriniensis sp. nov. and S. coriniensis nonveilleri ssp. nov., are described. The morphological ...
Structure-Dependent Electrochemical Behavior of 2-Pyridone Derivatives: A Combined Experimental and Theoretical Study
(MDPI, 2023)
In this work, the electrooxidation ability of nine pyridones was evaluated using cyclic(CV) and square-wave voltammetry (SWV) in Britton–Robinson (BR) aqueous buffer solutions on aglassy carbon electrode (GC). The dependence ...
Revalorization of Cotton and Cotton/Elastane Knitted Fabric Waste
(Korean Fiber Society, 2023)
The present paper demonstrates a simple way for revalorization of differently softened cotton and cotton/elastane knitted fabric waste collected from the textile industry. Such waste was used as an adsorbent for Congo Red ...
Mechanical properties of acrylate matrix composite reinforced with manganese-aluminum layered double hydroxide
(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2023)
Acrylate polymers are used in several applications such as dentistry, medicine, and industry. The modification of their properties using the reinforcement is of key importance for the possible applications. Layered double ...
