Investigation of corrosion behaviour of carbon nanotubes coated basalt fabric as a reinforcement material
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2019)
In this study, the corrosion behaviour of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) coated basalt fibre (BF) (BFCNTs) obtained by chemical vapour deposition (CVD), was studied. During CVD, the CNTs were grown on BF, (a) at different growth ...
Nano-finishing of cellulose textile materials with copper and copper oxide nanoparticles
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2019)
Nano-finishing of textile materials with metal and metal oxide nanoparticles has been in the focus of science and textile industry almost two decades. The emergence of bacteria resistance to silver nanoparticles due to ...
Stability of TEMPO-oxidized cotton fibers during natural aging
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2020)
Stability of cotton fibers oxidized by the 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxy radical (TEMPO)-mediated system during natural aging was monitored; the oxidized and five-year-aged fibers were characterized in terms of ...
Pectin-based nanocomposite aerogels for potential insulated food packaging application
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2018)
Environmental-friendly pectin-TiO2 nanocomposite aerogels were prepared via sol-gel process and subsequent drying under supercritical conditions. The first step includes dissolution of pectin in water, addition of proper ...
Composite materials from fully bio-based thermosetting resins and recycled waste poly(ethylene terephthalate)
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2018)
During the last two decades, interest in bio-based polymers, especially in bio-based composite materials, has grown as a result of environmental concerns. In this paper new composites obtained from fully bio-based unsaturated ...
Mg/Cu co-substituted hydroxyapatite - Biocompatibility, mechanical properties and antimicrobial activity
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2019)
The aim of this study was to improve the mechanical properties and to optimize antimicrobial activity of hydroxyapatite (HAP) by simultaneous doping with Mg and Cu ions in order to obtain material that would be able to ...
Towards sustainability of lactic acid and poly-lactic acid polymers production
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2019)
Lactic acid (LA) is a platform chemical which can be produced biotechnologically on agricultural residues, wastes and by-products and further used for production of biodegradable, biocompatible LA polymers. These polymers ...
Multifunctional jute fabrics obtained by different chemical modifications
(Springer, 2020)
The aim of the present research is first to reduce the jute fabric non-cellulosic components by using different chemical modifications (i.e. alkali and oxidative) and then to analyze their influence on the jute fabric ...
Surface cleaning of raw cotton fibers with atmospheric pressure air plasma
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2018)
In this work, a possibility to use atmospheric pressure plasma treatment to clean cotton fibers surface was investigated. Dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) operating in air was used as plasma source. After plasma treatment, ...
Cytotoxicity studies of novel Ag/alginate nanocomposites aimed for wound treatment
