The composite of polybenzoxazine and barium strontium titanate (BST or Ba0.3Sr0.7 TiO3 with different BST loadings up to 80 wt.%) were synthesized and fabricated as a substrate. The effects of volume fraction of ceramic ...

Silk fibroin (SF) is a natural protein produced by the mulberry silkworm (Bombyx mori). It was chosen as a matrix in bionanocomposite sponges for yeast cell immobilization. Cellulose whiskers (CLWs), having an aspect ratio ...

In this research, ethylene epoxidation reaction was investigated in low temperature plasma systems: parallel plate dielectric barrier discharge (DBD), cylindrical DBD, corona discharge, and DBD jet. The combined catalytic ...

Generally, the aim of using food packaging is to preserve food products. However, microbial contamination is able to cause food deterioration. Therefore, the antimicrobial substances are often incorporated into packaging ...

To reduce carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere, adsorption is believed to be one of the most attractive methods for post-combustion treatment of flue gas. In this work, activated carbon (AC) was modified with ...

The production of biodiesel from transesterification of palm oil with methanol was studied by using CaO-ZnO prepared by incipient-wetness impregnation (IWI) and co-precipitation (CP) methods as a heterogeneous base catalyst. ...

Maleic anhydride (MAH) grafted high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene (PP) are important compatibilizers in polymer blends, as adhesion promoters and bonding agents for polymers. In this research, modifications ...

Solution casting of polycaprolactone (PCL) and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-2-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) in various ratios with coated and uncoated bioactive proteins were studied for potential use as bone scaffolds. The ...

Partially ordered carbon have been widely studied and used in various applications such as gas separation, catalyst supports, and electrode materials. They have been conventionally prepared by pyrolysis and physical or ...

This study focuses on creating a biorefinery model for the production of bio- ethanol, lactic acid (LA) and bio succinic acid (BSA) from sugarcane and cassava by evaluating the-performance of the biorefinery in both ...
