Melt processability, characterization, and antibacterial activity of compression-molded green composite sheets made of poly(3- hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) reinforced with coconut fibers impregnated with oregano essential oil
(Elsevier, 2018-09)
New packaging materials based on green composite sheets consisting of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydro-
xyvalerate) (PHBV) and coconut fibers (CFs) were obtained by twin-screw extrusion (TSE) followed by com-
pression ...
Multilayer structures based on annealed electrospun biopolymer coatings of interest in water and aroma barrier fiber-based food packaging applications
(Wiley, 2018-08)
In this research work, for the first time, a fiber-based packaging material was coated by annealed electrospun ultrathin fibers of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate), poly(vinyl alcohol), and polylactide. The resultant mono- and ...
Enhancement of plasma protein adsorption and osteogenesis of hMSCs by functionalized siloxane coatings for titanium implants
(Wiley, 2018-03)
A series of sol–gel derived silicon based coatings
were developed to improve the osseointegration of commer-
cial titanium dental implants. The osseointegration starts
with a positive interaction between the implant ...
Characterization of thermal contacts between heat exchangers and a thermoelectric module by impedance spectroscopy
(Elsevier, 2019)
Heat to electricity energy conversion efficiency of a thermoelectric (TE) device is not only influenced by the TE materials properties, but it also depends on the temperature difference between both sides of the TE legs. ...
Accelerated Discovery of Thermoelectric Materials: Combinatorial Facility and High-Throughput Measurement of Thermoelectric Power Factor
(American Chemical Society, 2016-05)
A series of processes have been developed to facilitate the rapid discovery of new promising thermoelectric alloys. A novel combinatorial facility where elements are wire-fed and laser-melted was designed and constructed. ...
