Edible blend films of pectin and poly(ethylene glycol): Preparation and physico-chemical evaluation
(Elsevier, 2018)
The aim of this study was the development of novel polysaccharide based films intended to be used as edible food packaging material. The films were prepared by solution casting method using highly methoxylated pectin (PEC) ...
Hydrogel based on chitosan, itaconic acid and methacrylic acid as adsorbent of Cd2+ ions from aqueous solution
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2010)
A hydrogel has been synthesized by ionic crosslinking of chitosan (Ch) with itaconic acid (IA), followed by a free radical polymerization and crosslinking of Ch/IA network by adding methacrylic acid and the crosslinker. ...
Origin of the Zero-Field Splitting in Mononuclear Octahedral Mn-IV Complexes: A Combined Experimental and Theoretical Investigation
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2016)
The aim of this work was to determine and understand the origin of the electronic properties of Mn-IV complexes, especially the zero-field splitting (ZFS), through a combined experimental and theoretical investigation on ...
Sorption of zinc by novel pH-sensitive hydrogels based on chitosan, itaconic acid and methacrylic acid
(Elsevier, 2011)
Novel pH-sensitive hydrogels based on chitosan, itaconic acid and methacrylic acid were applied as adsorbents for the removal of Zn(2+) ions from aqueous solution. In batch tests, the influence of solution pH, contact time, ...
RuxTi1-xO2 as the support for Pt nanoparticles: Electrocatalysis of methanol oxidation
(Elsevier, 2015)
Two binary Ru-Ti oxides, Rum Ti0.9O2 and Ru0.7Ti0.3O2, were synthesized by the sol-gel method and used as an electrocatalyst support. The system was characterized by XRD, EDS, TEM and cyclic voltammetry. The Rum Ti0.9O2 ...
Electrochemical oxidation of ethanol on palladium-nickel nanocatalyst in alkaline media
(Elsevier, 2016)
Pd-Ni/C catalyst was synthesized employing a borohydride reduction method. The high area Ni was first dispersed on the carbon support and then modified by Pd nanoparticles. Transmission electron microscopy confirmed ...
Polarographic Assay Based on Hydrogen Peroxide Scavenging in Determination of Antioxidant Activity of Strong Alcohol Beverages
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2010)
Total antioxidant (AO) activity of strong alcohol beverages such as wine and plum brandies, whiskeys, herbal and sweet fruit liqueurs have been assessed using a polarographic assay based on hydrogen peroxide scavenging ...
Inter- and intraspecific variability of selected diarylheptanoid compounds and leaf morphometric traits in Alnus glutinosa and Alnus incana
(Walter De Gruyter, 2018)
The reliability of diarylheptanoids as chemotaxonomic markers at inter-and intraspecific levels has been investigated. Six diarylheptanoids were quantified in bark ethanol extracts of four Alnus spp. populations by ...
Preferred Geometries and Energies of Sulfur Sulfur Interactions in Crystal Structures
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2016)
It has been demonstrated that sulfur sulfur interactions can exist in various molecular systems. In this work we investigated sulfur-sulfur interactions in crystal structures of small molecules by analyzing geometric data ...
Evaluation of potentially toxic element contamination in the riparian zone of the River Sava
(Elsevier, 2019)
Contaminated sediments transported onto the river terrace during high water events can contribute significant quantities of potentially toxic elements to riparian soils. Seven trace elements (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn) ...
