Biodegradation of cellulose fibers functionalized with CuO/Cu2O nanoparticles in combination with polycarboxylic acids
(Cellulose, 2022)
Sustainable biodegradation of cellulose fibers is critical for composting after the end of a product's life. In this study, we aimed at investigating the effect of in situ synthesized CuO/Cu2O nanoparticles (NPs) with ...
Design and characterization of whey protein nanocarriers for thyme essential oil encapsulation obtained by freeze-drying
(Elsevier, 2022)
Innovative coating powders, based on whey protein concentrate (10–15 wt%) as native (WPC) or denatured protein (D-WPC), solely or in combination with alginate (0.75 wt%, AL), containing thyme essential oil, were produced ...
Green in situ synthesis of Ag- and Cu-based nanoparticles on viscose fabric using a Punica granatum peel extract
(Elsevier B.V., 2023)
The demand for medical textiles in various forms with strong antimicrobial activity drastically increased during the COVID19 pandemic. In an attempt to tackle this issue and to develop antimicrobial textiles in more ...
Closing the Loop: Dyeing and Adsorption Potential of Mulberry Wood Waste
(Journal of Natural Fibers, 2022)
This study reports the successful transformation of mulberry wood waste into natural textile dye and adsorbent for Pb2+ ions from an aqueous solution. Fabrics of different chemical compositions were dyed using mulberry ...
A review on the role of plasma technology in the nano-finishing of textile materials with metal and metal oxide nanoparticles
(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2022)
Nano-finishing of textiles with metal and metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) is relatively simple, but insufficiently efficient binding between the fibers and NPs poses a big problem because of the poor stability of textile ...
The Effect of Nanofibrillated Tempo-oxidized Cotton Linters on the Strength and Optical Properties of Paper
(Journal of Natural Fibers, 2022)
This study elaborates the application of composite films based on nanofibrillated cellulose obtained from cotton linters oxidized in the 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl radical (TEMPO)/NaBr/NaClO system, with the use ...
Effect of chemical modifications and coating with Cu-based nanoparticles on the electro-physical properties of jute fabrics in a condition of high humidity
(Elsevier B.V., 2022)
The electro-physical properties of raw, alkali and oxidatively modified jute fabrics were investigated as complex phenomena of the interactions between the fabrics’ chemical composition, carboxyl group content, crystallinity, ...
Removal of trivalent chromium from aqueous solutions by natural clays: Valorization of saturated adsorbents as raw materials in ceramic manufacturing
(Elsevier, 2023)
Kaolinite/illite (KUb) and sepiolite (SEP) clays were used to study Cr(III) adsorption removal from aqueous solutions so that they could be utilized after saturation for ceramic manufacturing. SEP had a larger specific ...
Capillary rise and sorption ability of hemp fibers oxidized by non-selective oxidative agents: hydrogen peroxide and potassium permanganate
(Journal of Natural Fibers, 2022)
In this paper, the capillary rise and sorption ability of hemp fibers oxidized with hydrogen peroxide and potassium permanganate were studied, with the aim to get more insight into the changes in the structure of hemp ...
Amyloid-like aggregation influenced by lead(II) and cadmium(II) ions in hen egg white ovalbumin
(Elsevier B.V., 2023)
The aggregation of proteins into fibrillar, amyloid-like aggregates generally results in an improved, positive effect on various techno-functional properties within food products, such as gelation, emulsification, and foam ...
