Study of the synergetic effect of co-pyrolysis of lignite and high-density polyethylene aiming to improve utilization of low-rank coal
(MDPI, 2021)
The mutual impact of low-quality lignite and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) during open system pyrolysis was investigated, aiming to improve utilization of lignite with simultaneous treatment of HDPE waste. Pyrolysis of ...
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 ...
The influence of isoenzymes composition and chemical modification on horseradish peroxidase@ZIF-8 bio-composite performance
(MDPI, 2022)
Many articles in the literature deal with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) biomineralization,but none pay attention to the isoenzyme composition of commercial HRP or the influence of thecarbohydrate component of the protein ...
Biodegradable Hydrogel Scaffolds Based on 2-Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate, Gelatin, Poly(β-amino esters), and Hydroxyapatite
(MDPI, 2022)
New composite 3D scaffolds were developed as a combination of synthetic polymer, poly(2-
hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA), and a natural polymer, gelatin, with a ceramic component,
nanohydroxyapatite (ID nHAp) dopped ...
Bioactive Interpenetrating Hydrogel Networks Based on 2-Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate and Gelatin Intertwined with Alginate and Dopped with Apatite as Scaffolding Biomaterials
(Switzerland : Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2022)
Our goal was to create bioimitated scaffolding materials for biomedical purposes. The guiding idea was that we used an interpenetrating structural hierarchy of natural extracellular matrix as a “pattern” to design hydrogel ...
Immobilization of Horseradish Peroxidase on Magnetite-Alginate Beads to Enable Effective Strong Binding and Enzyme Recycling during Anthraquinone Dyes’ Degradation
(MDPI, 2022)
The aim of this study was to investigate covalent immobilization of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) on magnetic nanoparticles (Mag) encapsulated in calcium alginate beads (MABs) for color degradation, combining easy and fast ...
Influence of Novel SrTiO3/MnO2 Hybrid Nanoparticles on Poly(methyl methacrylate) Thermal and Mechanical Behavior
(MDPI, 2024)
While dental poly methyl methacrylate(PMMA) possesses distinctive qualities such as ease of fabrication, cost-effectiveness, and favorable physical and mechanical properties, these attributes alone are inadequate to impart ...
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 ...
Synthesis, Characterization and Application of Biobased Unsaturated Polyester Resin Reinforced with Unmodified/Modified Biosilica Nanoparticles
(MDPI, 2023)
This paper presents sustainable technology for environmentally friendly composite production. Biobased unsaturated polyester resin (b-UPR), synthesized from waste polyethylene terephthalate (PET) glycosylate and renewable ...
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 ...
