Extending waste paper, cellulose and filler use beyond recycling by entering the circular economy creating cellulose-CaCO3 composites reconstituted from ionic liquid
(Springer Science and Business Media B.V., 2022)
Cellulose-fibre lifecycle is severely limited within today’s recycling methodology. Feedstock cellulose and filler abound in products considered uneconomic, unsuitable for standard deinking or too weak for original product ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Air Permeability and Water Vapor Resistance of Differently Finished Cotton and Cotton/Elastane Single Jersey Knitted Fabrics
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2022)
This study investigates the knitted fabrics' air permeability and water vapor resistance as complex phenomena of the interaction between the fiber nature, fabric structural characteristics and, different wet processes. ...
Biocompatibility and antibiofilm activity of graphene-oxide functionalized titanium discs and collagen membranes
(Elsevier Inc., 2022)
The aims of the study were: 1) to evaluate the effect on biofilm formation of barrier membranes and titanium surfaces coated with graphene-oxide (GO); 2) to analyze the connection between the superficial topography of the ...
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 ...
Quality of Cotton and cotton/elastane Single Jersey Knitted Fabrics before and after Softening and in Situ Synthesis of Cu-based Nanoparticles
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2022)
The quality of cotton and cotton/elastane single jersey knitted fabrics before and after softening was evaluated through their mechanical properties, pilling, and volume electrical resistivity. Elastane-containing fabrics ...
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, ...
