Slippery liquid-infused porous polymeric surfaces based on natural oil with antimicrobial effect
( MDPI AG , 2021 , Article)Many polymer materials have found a wide variety of applications in biomedical indus-tries due to their excellent mechanical properties. However, the infections associated with the bio-film formation represent serious ... -
Sulfobetaine-based polydisulfides with tunable upper critical solution temperature (UCST) in water alcohols mixture, depolymerization kinetics and surface wettability
( Academic Press Inc. , 2021 , Article)Hypothesis: Synthesis of a new family of polymers having a polydisulfide structure can be conducted from sulfobetaine-based derivative of natural (R)-lipoic acid. A polydisulfide backbone of polymer can be depolymerized ... -
The effect of electro spinning parameters on polystyrene nano fiber morphology: Oil-water separation
( Desalination Publications , 2018 , Article)This manuscript reports optimized conditions necessary to prepare electro-spun nano fibers and microfibers using two different forms of polystyrene (PS) in dimethylformamide (DMF). We conducted a systematic and methodical ... -
The separation of emulsified water/oil mixtures through adsorption on plasma-treated polyethylene powder
( MDPI AG , 2021 , Article)This paper addresses the preparation and characterization of efficient adsorbents for tertiary treatment (oil content below 100 ppm) of oil/water emulsions. Powdered low-density polyethylene (LDPE) was modified by ...
