Antibacterial activity of thymol/carvacrol and clinoptilolite composites prepared by supercritical solvent impregnation
(Journal of Porous Materials, 2021)
Novel composites based on natural zeolite-clinoptilolite and monoterpene phenols-thymol and carvacrol were prepared by supercritical solvent impregnation (SSI) in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO(2)) at 30 MPa and 35 ...
The effect of natural modifiers for starch hydrophobization on performance of composite based on ethylene acrylic acid copolymer
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2021)
As a renewable resource, starch is considered to be fully biodegradable and nonpolluting to the environment but the hygroscopicity of starch is the main disadvantage for wider applicability in the production of a polymer-based ...
Use of chènevotte, a valuable co-product of industrial hemp fiber, as adsorbent for pollutant removal. Part i: Chemical, microscopic, spectroscopic and thermogravimetric characterization of raw and modified samples
(MDPI AG, 2021)
FINEAU (2021–2024) is a trans-disciplinary research project involving French, Serbian, Italian, Portuguese and Romanian colleagues, a French agricultural cooperative and two surface-treatment industries, intending to propose ...
Moisture absorption characteristics and effects on mechanical properties of Kolon/epoxy composites
(Current Applied Physics, 2021)
Para-aramid fibers (Kolon) are high performance polymeric fibers characterized by their high tenacity and impact resistance. They are used for the soft body armor structures in ballistics. In this study, the testing specimens ...
High-performance laminate material based on polyurethane and epoxide reinforced by silica particles from rice husk used for intelligent pedestrian crossings
(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2021)
Intelligent pedestrian crossings were made with the aim to increase pedestrian safety at poorly lit locations. New technologies include the design of polymer materials that have high performance by optimizing properties ...
Composition-property relationship of polyurethane networks based on polycaprolactone diol
(Springer, New York, 2021)
This work was focused on the synthesis of polyurethane networks (PUNs) based on polycaprolactone (PCL) as soft segment (SS) and Boltorn (R) aliphatic hyperbranched polyester of the second pseudo generation and 4,4 ...
Mesomorphism of novel stilbene-based bent-core liquid crystals
(Liquid Crystals, 2021)
A series of asymmetric bent-core liquid crystals, bearing the stilbene moiety in the side wing, was synthesised and characterised. Structural modifications of the non-stilbene wing resulted in formation of various mesophases. ...
A novel chitosan/tripolyphosphate/L-lysine conjugates for latent fingerprints detection and enhancement
(Journal of Forensic Sciences, 2021)
Most chemical and physical methods employed in visualizing latent marks have shown detrimental effects on human health and, therefore, some research groups have directed their attention to the utilization of various ...
Improvement in cavitation resistance of poly (vinyl butyral) composite films with silica nanoparticles: A technical note
(Polymers & Polymer Composites, 2021)
In this study poly (vinyl butyral)/silica (PVB/SiO2) composite films were subjected to the cavitation process. The experiments were carried out with a 10 wt.% PVB solution in ethanol. Silica nanoparticles were added into ...
Development and Validation of a Long-Term 3D Glioblastoma Cell Culture in Alginate Microfibers as a Novel Bio-Mimicking Model System for Preclinical Drug Testing
(Brain Sciences, 2021)
Background: Various three-dimensional (3D) glioblastoma cell culture models have a limited duration of viability. Our aim was to develop a long-term 3D glioblastoma model, which is necessary for reliable drug response ...
