Upcycling of the Used Cigarette Butt Filters through Pyrolysis Process: Detailed Kinetic Mechanism with Bio-Char Characterization
(Polymers, 2023)
Thermo-chemical conversion via the pyrolysis of cigarette butt (CB) filters was successfully valorized and upcycled in the pre-carbonization and carbonization stages. The pre-carbonization stage (devolatilization) of the ...
Biodegradability Assessment of Polyester Copolymers Based on Poly(ethylene adipate) and Poly(ε-caprolactone)
(MDPI AG, 2022)
Biodegradable polymers contain chains that are hydrolytically or enzymatically cleaved, resulting in soluble degradation products. Biodegradability is particularly desired in biomedical applications, in which degradation ...
Upcycling biodegradable pva/starch film to a bacterial biopigment and biopolymer
(MDPI, 2021)
Meeting the challenge of circularity for plastics requires amenability to repurposing post-use, as equivalent or upcycled products. In a compelling advancement, complete circularity for a biodegradable polyvinyl ...
Chemical modification of glycoproteins’ carbohydrate moiety as a general strategy for the synthesis of efficient biocatalysts by biomimetic mineralization: The case of glucose oxidase
(MDPI, 2021)
Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) is widely used as a protective coating to en-capsulate proteins via biomimetic mineralization. The formation of nucleation centers and further biocomposite crystal growth is entirely ...
Obtaining Medical Textiles Based on Viscose and Chitosan/Zinc Nanoparticles with Improved Antibacterial Properties by Using a Dielectric Barrier Discharge
(Switzerland : Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2022)
This study aimed to obtain functional viscose textiles based on chitosan coatings with improved antibacterial properties and washing durability. For that reason, before functionalization with chitosan/zinc nanoparticles ...
Optimization of reactive diluent for bio-based unsaturated polyester resin: A rheological and thermomechanical study
(MDPI, 2021)
Nowadays, unsaturated polyester resins (UPR) are mainly obtained from non-renewable resources. The ever-increasing regulations and the continuous demand for more sustainability have led to extensive research towards more ...
The Effect of Glycol Derivatives on the Properties of Bio-Based Unsaturated Polyesters
(MDPI, 2022)
The scope of the present study was to prepare fully bio-based unsaturated polyester resins (UPRs) with comparable properties to the commercial formulations. The focus was set on the determination of the optimal prepolymer ...
