Polyurethane networks based on polycaprolactone and hyperbranched polyester: Structural, thermal and mechanical investigation
(Elsevier, 2019)
A series of environmentally friendly polyurethane (PU) networks based on polycaprolactone as soft segment (SS) and Boltorn® aliphatic hyperbranched polyester of the second pseudo generation as crosslinking agent was prepared ...
Activation of Oxone® with plasma deposited mixed cobalt and alumina oxide for the dye degradation
(Elsevier, 2020)
The aim of this work is to examine the possibility of the formation of cobalt doped Al2O3 coatings on aluminum substrate by plasma electrolytic oxidation process (PEO) and application of the obtained material as catalyst ...
A CaO/zeolite-based catalyst obtained from waste chicken eggshell and coal fly ash for biodiesel production
(Elsevier, 2020)
The present paper is focused on the development of a new environment-friendly methanolysis catalyst completely
based on waste materials: lignite coal fly ash and chicken eggshells. A novel catalyst based on CaO
supported ...
Characterisation of the binding of dihydro-alpha-lipoic acid to fibrinogen and the effects on fibrinogen oxidation and fibrin formation
(Elsevier, 2020)
A reduced form of the alpha-lipoic acid, dihydro-alpha-lipoic acid (DHLA) is a potent, naturally occurring antioxidant which can be consumed as food constituent or as supplement at doses up to 600 mg/day. DHLA has inhibitory ...
Antistaphylococcal and biofilm inhibitory activities of Frangula alnus bark ethyl-acetate extract
(Elsevier, 2020)
Staphylococcus aureus is one of the leading causative of numerous infections that is resistant to various antibiotics. Since that we are facing with a serious problem of bacterial resistance it is necessary to find a new ...
Analysis and experimental demonstration of forced periodic operation of an adiabatic stirred tank reactor: Simultaneous modulation of inlet concentration and total flow-rate
(Elsevier, 2021)
It is well known, that forced periodic operation possesses the potential for process improvements. Nevertheless, only a small number of applications is reported, due to complex realization, limited predictability and high ...
Bacterial diversity in typical abandoned multi-contaminated nonferrous metal(loid) tailings during natural attenuation
(Elsevier, 2019)
Abandoned nonferrous metal(loid) tailings sites are anthropogenic, and represent unique and extreme ecological niches for microbial communities. Tailings contain elevated and toxic content of metal(loid)s that had negative ...
Chitosan and pectin-based films and coatings with active components for application in antimicrobial food packaging
(Elsevier, 2021)
This investigation was aimed to develop films and coatings based on natural biopolymers and active components, with physicochemical and functional properties for application in antimicrobial packaging. Biopolymer films ...
Dynamic stability of active sites in hydr(oxy)oxides for the oxygen evolution reaction
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020)
The poor activity and stability of electrode materials for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are the main bottlenecks in the water splitting reaction for H2 production. Here, by studying activity
stability trends for ...
Eliminating dissolution of platinum-based electrocatalysts at the atomic scale
(Nature Publishing Group, 2020)
A remaining challenge for deployment of proton-exchange membrane fuel cells is the
limited durability of Pt-nanoscale materials that operate at high voltages during the
cathodic oxygen reduction reaction. In this work, ...
