(
Academic Press Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
Simple and robust methods for modifying hydrophobic polymer surfaces with zwitterionic polymers using UV irradiation were developed. Two random zwitterionic copolymers consisting of either carboxybetaine or sulfobetaine ...
Photocatalytic Degradation of Pentachlorophenol Using ZnO Nanoparticles: Study of Intermediates and Toxicity
(
Springer International Publishing
, 2017 , Article)
The photocatalytic degradation of pentachlorophenol (PCP) was carried out using ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) in the presence of sunlight. The effect of different ZnO NPs sizes was synthesized by sol–gel method as well as loading ...
