Impact of corona and radio-frequency plasma treatment on the degradation of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV)
(
BME-PT and GTE
, 2022 , Article)
Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) is a polyester, produced naturally by microorganisms, with excellent biocompatibility. Corona and radio-frequency (RF) plasma treatment were applied in order to improve ...
Electrochemical performance of Ti3C2Tx MXene in aqueous media: towards ultrasensitive H2O2 sensing
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
An extensive characterization of pristine and oxidized Ti3C2Tx (T: O, OH, F) MXene showed that exposure of MXene to an anodic potential in the aqueous solution oxidizes the nanomaterial forming TiO2 layer or TiO2 domains ...
