Photochemical grafting of polysulfobetaine onto polyethylene and polystyrene surfaces and investigation of long-term stability of the polysulfobetaine layer in seawater
(
John Wiley and Sons Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and polystyrene (PS) films with hydrophilic surface were prepared by photochemical grafting of sulfobetaine-based copolymer containing photolabile moiety, and long-term stability of the ...
Effect of plasma treatment on accelerated pla degradation
(
BME-PT and GTE
, 2021 , Article)
Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) has been found to be important in various applications, such as in the medical, pharma-ceutical, and packaging industries. However, the long-term associated degradation process of PLA is a limiting ...
Electrochemical surface activation of commercial tungsten carbide for enhanced electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution and methanol oxidation reactions
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2022 , Article)
The chemistry of electrocatalysts deals with multiple critical factors to facilitate the electrochemical reactions. Among those, the rate limiting depends on electrons transfer for chemisorptions of molecules in redox ...
Adhesive properties of polyester treated by cold plasma in oxygen and nitrogen atmospheres
(2013 , Article)
Polyester foil was treated by the surface diffuse barrier discharge (SDBD) plasma at atmospheric pressure in oxygen and/or in nitrogen containing a small amount of oxygen to improve its surface and adhesive properties. ...
Antimicrobial modification of PLA scaffolds with ascorbic and fumaric acids via plasma treatment
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
An optimal medical scaffold should be biocompatible and biodegradable and should have adequate mechanical properties and scaffold architecture porosity, a precise three-dimensional shape, and a reasonable manufacturing ...
Friction and wear response of a hard-anodized aa6082
(
Trans Tech Publications Ltd
, 2021 , Conference Paper)
The properties of anodized aluminum, and wear resistance in particular, are of high interest for the scientific community. In this study, discs of AA6082 were subjected to a peculiar hard anodizing process leading to ...
Foamy phase change materials based on linear low-density polyethylene and paraffin wax blends
(
Springer Nature
, 2018 , Article)
Foamy phase-change materials (FPCMs) based on linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) blended with 30 wt.% of paraffin wax (W) were successfully prepared for the first time. The advantage of these materials is their double ...
Electrospun Polystyrene/PANI-Ag fibers for organic dye removal and antibacterial application
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2020 , Article)
Herein we report superior dye-degradation performance for polyaniline-silver (PANI-Ag) nanoparticle coated on polystyrene (PS) electrospun membrane by in situ-polymerization method. Morphological study of the coated membrane ...
Dry sliding tribological properties of a hard anodized aa6082 aluminum alloy
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
The applications of aluminum and its alloys are still limited by low hardness and low wear resistance properties. Surface modifications, such anodizing and plasma electrolytic oxidation, represent a feasible way to overcome ...
Antibacterial treatment of LDPE with halogen derivatives via cold plasma
(
BME-PT and GTE
, 2015 , Article)
The factor limiting the application of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) in healthcare is its high susceptibility to bacterial growth. For this reason, we here investigated antibacterial treatments of LDPE foils using ...
