Adhesion Improvement Between Polyethylene and Aluminum Using Eco-Friendly Plasma Treatment
(
John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
, 2015 , Book chapter)
Photoimmobilization of zwitterionic polymers on surfaces to reduce cell adhesion
(
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 ...
PH-Switchable Interaction of a Carboxybetaine Ester-Based SAM with DNA and Gold Nanoparticles
(
American Chemical Society
, 2017 , Article)
We describe a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on a gold surface with a carboxybetaine ester functionality to control the interaction between DNA and gold nanoparticles via pH. The negatively charged phosphate backbone of ...
Improvement of aluminum/polyethylene adhesion through corona discharge
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2017 , Article)
Polyethylene (PE) is often used in several industrial applications including the building, packaging and transport industries. Aluminum (Al) is widely used in different applications in the automotive, railway, aeronautic, ...
Simple, Reversible, and Fast Modulation in Superwettability, Gradient, and Adsorption by Counterion Exchange on Self-Assembled Monolayer
(
American Chemical Society
, 2016 , Article)
A simple fabrication method for preparation of surfaces able to switch from superhydrophobic to superhydrophilic state in a reversible and fast way is described. A self-assembled monolayer (SAM) consisting of quaternary ...
The preparation, properties and applications of electrospun co-polyamide 6,12 membranes modified by cellulose nanocrystals
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
In this paper, we present the preparation and properties of a unique material system manufactured by electrospinning of co-polyamide 6,12 (coPA) from an n-propanol solution. A significant advantage of this system is that ...
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 ...
Laser Induced Periodic Surface Structures on Nano Metal Oxide filled Polyvinylidene Fluoride Nanocomposites
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
The ability of polarized pulsed laser in surface modification of substrate surfaces without thermally destroying them is a well-established concept of scientific procedure. In this work, we report the laser induced surface ...
Phase change materials designed from Tetra Pak waste and paraffin wax as unique thermal energy storage systems
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Thermal energy storage systems (TES) based on shape-stabilized phase change materials (SSPCM) designed from recycled Tetra Pak (TP) waste, paraffin wax (PW), and expanded graphite (EG) were investigated in this study. This ...
A novel alternative to free oil remediation and recovery: Foamy absorbents designed from low molecular paraffinic waste
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
This study focuses on preparing porous, hydrophobic, and oleophilic hydrocarbon-based foams applicable for removing free oils from water surfaces. Paraffinic waste material generated during industrial production of low-density ...
