Antimicrobial properties of (meth)acrylate based hydrogels
(An Introduction to Antibacterial Properties, 2020)
The rapid emergence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens is becoming an imminent global public health problem. The development of novel antimicrobial materials aiming to prevent or control infections caused by these pathogens ...
Semi-interpenetrating networks based on (Meth)acrylate, itaconic acid, and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) hydrogels for biomedical applications
(Springer Singapore, 2020)
In this study, three series of semi-interpenetrating networks were synthesized based on 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA), itaconic acid (IA), and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) as interpenetrating ...
Encapsulation Techniques for Food Purposes
(CRC Press, 2022)
Demand for functional food that offers health benefits beyond basic nutrition is increasing. However, challenges in development of nutritionally-enriched food are often limiting its wider production. Generally, the bioactivity ...
Nature and chemistry of bioactive components of wild edible mushrooms
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)
Mushrooms have been used in traditional medicine for centuries, although only relatively recently they have become a subject of intensive studies as a source of potential drugs and products that could be used in the treatment ...
Toxic components and toxicology of wild mushrooms
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)
Wild mushroom foraging has always come with the risk of mistaking edible mushrooms with poisonous ones. Poisonous mushrooms can cause a diverse spectrum of clinical signs and symptoms, ranging from simple, self-limited ...
A Comprehensive Review of the Effect of Elastane and Common Wet Processes on the Cotton and Cotton/Elastane Knitted Fabrics’ Properties and Revalorization of Fabric Waste
(Cham : Springer, 2024)
This paper represents a comprehensive review of the effect of elastane and common wet processes (bleaching, dyeing, and softening) on the properties of 100% cotton and half or full plated cotton/elastane single jersey ...
The Realm of Smart Biomass Degrading Enzymes in Low-Carbon Fuels and Chemicals Production
(Cham : Springer, 2024)
Due to the depletion of fossil fuel sources and the issues posed by climate change, there is an increasing demand for renewable and sustainable fuel alternatives. Biofuels are a viable replacement for fossil fuels since ...
Emerging Non-thermal Processing of Food Waste and by-Products for Sustainable Food Systems - Selected Cases
(Springer Nature Switzerland AG, 2022)
Food waste and by-products are generated in all stages of food supply chain and it is estimated that third of all produced food is wasted. The goal is to minimise avoidable waste, to recover resources in sustainable way ...
Chemical Modifications of Jute Fiber Properties for Lifecycle Enhancement by Utilization in Wastewater Treatment
(New York : Nova Science Publishers, Inc., 2022)
The increased demand for cheap, biodegradable, renewable, and recyclable fibers with exceptional properties positioned jute (Corchorus capsularis L. and Corchorus olitorius L.) in the second place (after cotton) in the ...
Hemp-Based Materials for Applications in Wastewater Treatment by Biosorption-Oriented Processes: A Review
(Singapore : Springer Nature, 2022)
Treatment of wastewater pollution is a critical issue in the context of growing population and industrialization. Actual treatment methods are expensive and not fully effective and rely on fossil fuel-derived chemicals, ...
