Bio-Inspired Nanomembranes as Building Blocks for Nanophotonics, Plasmonics and Metamaterials
(MDPI AG, 2022)
Nanomembranes are the most widespread building block of life, as they encompass cell and organelle walls. Their synthetic counterparts can be described as freestanding or free-floating structures thinner than 100 nm, down ...
TiO2/Bi2O3 coatings formed by plasma electrolytic oxidation of titanium for photocatalytic applications
(Springer, 2022)
TiO2 coatings modified by Bi2O3 particles were successfully formed by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) process of titanium in supporting electrolyte (10 g/L Na3PO4·10H2O) with the addition of Bi2O3 particles. The ...
Studying the influence of common wet processes on the quality of 1 × 1 rib cotton/elastane knitted fabrics
(SAGE Publications, 2022)
This research studied the influence of common wet processes (i.e. bleaching, dyeing, or softening) on the quality of 1 × 1 rib cotton/elastane knitted fabrics. The changes in their structural (thickness, weight, and stitch ...
Structure-activity and binding orientations analysis of potent, newly synthesized, acetylcholinesterase inhibitors
(Elsevier B.V., 2023)
Fourteen novel N-benzylpiperidine and N,N-diarylpiperazine conjugates were synthesized and pharmacologically evaluated as donepezil analogs, in a ligand-based drug design approach. All compounds possessed high to moderate ...
Investigation of Nonlinear Piezoelectric Energy Harvester for Low-Frequency and Wideband Applications
(MDPI AG, 2022)
This paper proposes a monostable nonlinear Piezoelectric Energy Harvester (PEH). The harvester is based on an unconventional exsect-tapered fixed-guided spring design, which introduces nonlinearity into the system due to ...
Dripping Rainfall Simulators for Soil Research - Design Review
(MDPI AG, 2022)
Dripping rainfall simulators are important instruments in soil research. However, a large number of non-standardized simulators have been developed, making it difficult to combine and compare the results of different studies ...
Lychnothamnus barbatus (Meyen) Leonhardi 1863, A New Species to the Flora of Montenegro
(Elsevier BV, 2023)
This study presents a newly discovered site of Lychnothamnus barbatus, one of the rarest charophytes worldwide of a disjunctive, Euro-Australasian-American distribution. The species is the only representative of the genus ...
One-pot plasma electrolytic oxidation synthesis of TiO2/Sb2O3 coatings for photocatalysis
(Elsevier BV, 2022)
Anatase TiO2 coatings modified by Sb2O3 particles were formed by plasma electrolytic oxidation of titanium in 10 g/L Na3PO4⋅10H2O with addition of Sb2O3 particles. The photodegradation of methyl orange under simulated ...
Elucidating the antibiofilm activity of Frangula emodin against Staphylococcus aureus biofilms
(Wiley, 2022)
Aims Because the Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most well‐known pathogens associated with medical devices and nosocomial infections, the aim of the study was to examine antibiofilm potential of emodin against it. ...
A family of perforated submicrometer core–shell plasmonic particles bio-inspired by leafhopper brochosomes
(Springer, 2022)
We proposed and investigated a family of multifunctional plasmonic biomimetic structures inspired by natural brochosome powders secreted by leafhoppers (insects from Cicadellidae family): spheres with diameters (600–1000) ...
