Optimization of modifier deposition on the alumina surface to enhance mechanical properties and cavitation resistance
(Springer, New York, 2020)
Composites based on poly(methyl methacrylate), dimethyl itaconate matrix and alumina particles were prepared. Ferrous oxide-doped alumina particles (Al2O3Fe) and commercial alumina nanoparticles (Al(2)O(3)n) modified with ...
Oxidized Hemp Fibers with Simultaneously Increased Capillarity and Reduced Moisture Sorption as Suitable Textile Material for Advanced Application in Sportswear
(Fibers and Polymers, 2021)
Applications of hemp fibers, as a promising natural material in the textile field, mostly require improved fiber properties. In this paper, the oxidation of hemp fibers with potassium permanganate was applied to reduce the ...
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 ...
Molecular weight distribution and functional group profiles of TEMPO-oxidized lyocell fibers
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2013)
The effects of TEMPO-mediated oxidation, performed with NaClO, a catalytic amount of NaBr, and 2,2',6,6'-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxy radical (TEMPO), were studied on lyocell fibers by means of GPC using multiple detection ...
Electrospun Poly(vinylbutyral)/silica Composite Fibres for Impregnation of Aramid Fabrics
(Materiale Plastice, 2014)
The poly (vinyl butyral)/silica (PVB/SiO2) composite fibers were produced by the electrospinning process. The experiments were performed with the PVB solution in concentration of 10 wt.% where ethanol was used as the ...
Migration of cypermethrin to and through the PET containers and artificial neural network-based estimation of its emission
(Springer Verlag, 2019)
Nowadays, the extensive use of pesticides in crops production puts a significant challenge to minimize its side effects along with safe production, storage, and after-use treatment. This paper reports results related to ...
Recycling of silver-plated brass for production of high purity copper and ultrafine silver powder for electric contacts
(Bulgarian Chemical Communications, 2014)
The paper presents an improved process for recycling of silver-plate brass housing. Silver and copper are recovered with a purity of 99.99 % and 99.90 %, respectively, with the aim of obtaining materials of higher value ...
Photocatalytic Degradation of Dye CI Direct Blue 78 Using TiO2 Nanoparticles Immobilized on Recycled Wool-Based Nonwoven Material
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2013)
This paper discusses the possibility of immobilization of TiO2 nanoparticles onto recycled wool-based nonwoven material, which can be utilized for removal of dyes from wastewater. The photocatalytic activity of TiO2 ...
Antimicrobial activity and biocompatibility of Ag--(+) and Cu2+ -doped biphasic hydroxyapatite/alpha-tricalcium phosphate obtained from hydrothermally synthesized Ag+- and Cu2+ -doped hydroxyapatite
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2014)
Hydroxyapatite (HAp) powders doped with Ag+ or Cu2+ were synthesized by a hydrothermal method in order to obtain biomaterial with an antimicrobial effect. The synthesis was performed with two contents of dopant (Ag+ or ...
Purification technologies for crude biodiesel obtained by alkali-catalyzed transesterification
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2014)
For commercial application, the ester product of alkali-catalyzed transesterification of vegetable oil or animal fats should be refined after glycerol separation by settling to fulfill the biodiesel standard specifications. ...
