Miscibility, interactions and antimicrobial activity of poly(ε-caprolactone)/ chloramphenicol blends
(Elsevier, 2018-03-13)
Poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) has been blended with Chloramphenicol (CAM), a well-known bacteriostatic antibiotic, in order to obtain new biomaterials with antibacterial properties. The resulting samples have been thoroughly ...
Rehabilitation of masonry arches with compatible advanced composite material
(Elsevier, 2011-12-01)
Stone masonry arches are structures of great functional and architectural importance as they may be found in a large number of constructions that are mainly historic buildings. Although relatively solid structures, time ...
Non-linear analytical model of composites based on basalt textile reinforced mortar under uniaxial tension
(Elsevier, 2013-12-01)
[EN] The recent development of inorganic based composites as low-cost materials in reinforced concrete structural strengthening and precast thin-walled components, requires the creation of models that predict the mechanical ...
The conformation of chloramphenicol in the ordered and disordered phases
(Elsevier, 2019-03-15)
The conformational behavior of chloramphenicol (CHL) in the solid, liquid and
vapor phases is revisited here by means of FTIR spectroscopy and QM methods. In the
crystalline phase, both the IR analysis and QM computations ...
Experimental and numerical modeling of basalt textile reinforced mortar behavior under uniaxial tensile stress
(Elsevier, 2014-03-01)
During the last years several projects and studies have improved the knowledge about textile reinforced mortar (TRM) technology. TRM has already been used in strengthening masonry and reinforced concrete structural elements ...
Strengthening masonry vaults with organic and inorganic composites: An experimental approach
(Elsevier, 2015-11-15)
Polymer-reinforced fibers are now commonly applied to buildings for structural retrofitting purposes. These materials add greater tensile strength to structures, at the expense of a slight increase in weight. However, they ...
Hydrolytic degradation and cytotoxicity of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)/multiwalled carbon nanotubes for bone regeneration
(Wiley, 2019-08-27)
Biodegradable poly(l-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA)/multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) scaffolds produced by thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) are studied for bone regeneration. Their magnetic properties, cytotoxicity, ...
Evaluating Efficacy of Antimicrobial and Antifouling Materials for Urinary Tract Medical Devices: Challenges and Recommendations
(WILEY-VCH, 2019-05)
In Europe, the mean incidence of urinary tract infections in intensive care units is 1.1 per 1000 patient-days. Of these cases, catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) account for 98%. In total, CAUTI in ...
Tributyl citrate as an effective plasticizer for biodegradable polymers: effect of the plasticizer on the free volume, transport and mechanical properties
(Society of Chemical Industry. Wiley, 2018-06-16)
The effectiveness of tributyl citrate (TbC) as plasticizer for polylactide (PLLA) and poly(hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) was analyzed in order to improve the ductility of these polymers and make them good candidates for food ...
Mortar-based systems for externally bonded strengthening of masonry
(Springer, 2014-06-12)
[EN]Mortar-based composite materials appear particularly promising for use as externally bonded reinforcement (EBR) systems for masonry structures. Nevertheless, their mechanical performance, which may significantly differ ...
