Effect Of Reaction Conditions On The Surface Modification Of Cellulose Nanofibrils With Aminopropyl Triethoxysilane
(MDPI, 2018-04-13)
Nine different surface modifications of cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) with 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane (ATS) by using three different solvent systems (water, ethanol, and a mixture of both) were investigated. The effect ...
A Green Approach towards Native Collagen Scaffolds: Environmental and Physicochemical Assessment
(MDPI, 2020-07-18)
Native collagen scaffolds were prepared in this work, in which both materials and environmental approaches were considered with the aim of providing a global strategy towards more sustainable biomaterials. From the ...
Electroconductive Photo-Curable PEGDA-Gelatin/PEDOT:PSS Hydrogels for Prospective Cardiac Tissue Engineering Application
(Frontiers Media, 2022-06)
Electroconductive hydrogels (ECHs) have attracted interest for tissue engineering applications due to their ability to promote the regeneration of electroactive tissues. Hence, ECHs with tunable electrical and mechanical ...
Non-destructive determination of core-transition-outer wood of Pinus nigra combining FTIR spectroscopy and prediction models
(Elsevier, 2022-08)
The early detection of wood quality by using advanced analytical non-destructive methods is an ongoing area of research and is highly interesting for the forest-based sector. The presence of core wood has negative effects ...
Antioxidant, Antifungal and Phytochemical Investigations of Capparis spinosa L.
(MDPI, 2021-10-19)
The antioxidant and antifungal activities of crude hydro-ethanolic extract from Capparis spinosa L. (Capparidaceae) leaves and their fractions, obtained by liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) using solvents with increasing ...
Catalyst Deactivation And Regeneration Processes In Biogas Tri-Reforming Process. The Effect Of Hydrogen Sulfide Addition
(MDPI AG, 2018-01-09)
This work studies Ni-based catalyst deactivation and regeneration processes in the presence of H2S under a biogas tri-reforming process for hydrogen production, which is an energy vector of great interest. 25 ppm of hydrogen ...
Halochromic and antioxidant capacity of smart films of chitosan/chitin nanocrystals with curcuma oil and anthocyanins
(Elsevier, 2021-02)
Curcuma longa L. essential oil and anthocyanin extracts contain bioactive compounds such as antioxidant properties and their pigments are able to change color when exposed to different pH or ammonium gas. In this context, ...
Nanofibrillated Cellulose-Based Aerogels Functionalized with Tajuva (Maclura tinctoria) Heartwood Extract
(MDPI, 2021-03-16)
Aerogels are 3-D nanostructures of non-fluid colloidal interconnected porous networks consisting of loosely packed bonded particles that are expanded throughout their volume by gas and exhibit ultra-low density and high ...
Assessment of Bleached and Unbleached Nanofibers from Pistachio Shells for Nanopaper Making
(MDPI, 2021-03-04)
Cellulose and lignocellulose nanofibrils were extracted from pistachio shells utilizing environmentally friendly pulping and totally chlorine-free bleaching. The extracted nanofibers were used to elaborate nanopaper, a ...
Effect of the Chemical Composition of Free-Terpene Hydrocarbons Essential Oils on Antifungal Activity
(MDPI, 2019-09-19)
In this study, Carum carvi L. essential oil (CEO) and Origanum majorana L. essential oil (MEO) was steam-distillated under reduced pressure. We henceforth obtained three fractions for each essential oil: CF1, CF2, CF3, ...
