Novel biodegradable and non-fouling systems for controlled-release based on poly(ε-caprolactone)/Quercetin blends and biomimetic bacterial S-layer coatings
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019-08-05)
Quercetin is a strong antioxidant with low bioavailability due to its high crystallinity. A further drawback is that Quercetin has potentially toxic effects at high concentrations. To improve this low water solubility, as ...
Benefits of Polydopamine as Particle/Matrix Interface in Polylactide/PD-BaSO4 Scaffolds
(MDPI, 2020-07-31)
This work reports the versatility of polydopamine (PD) when applied as a particle coating in a composite of polylactide (PLA). Polydopamine was observed to increase the particle–matrix interface strength and facilitate the ...
Bond between steel reinforcement bars and electric arc furnace slag concrete
(Springer, 2017-04-21)
This paper deals with the bond between steel reinforcement and recycled aggregate concrete, including Electric arc furnace (EAF) slag as full replacement of natural coarse aggregates. Pull-out tests were carried out according ...
Comparison between experimental values and standards on natural stone masonry mechanical properties
(Elsevier, 2012-03-01)
[EN] The research presented in this paper investigates the mechanical properties under compressive loads of a natural stone masonry. Selected materials and arrangement are typical from the Romanesque period, the main ...
Miscibility, interactions and antimicrobial activity of poly(ε-caprolactone)/ chloramphenicol blends
(Elsevier, 2018-03-13)
Poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) has been blended with Chloramphenicol (CAM), a well-known bacteriostatic antibiotic, in order to obtain new biomaterials with antibacterial properties. The resulting samples have been thoroughly ...
Rehabilitation of masonry arches with compatible advanced composite material
(Elsevier, 2011-12-01)
Stone masonry arches are structures of great functional and architectural importance as they may be found in a large number of constructions that are mainly historic buildings. Although relatively solid structures, time ...
Non-linear analytical model of composites based on basalt textile reinforced mortar under uniaxial tension
(Elsevier, 2013-12-01)
[EN] The recent development of inorganic based composites as low-cost materials in reinforced concrete structural strengthening and precast thin-walled components, requires the creation of models that predict the mechanical ...
The conformation of chloramphenicol in the ordered and disordered phases
(Elsevier, 2019-03-15)
The conformational behavior of chloramphenicol (CHL) in the solid, liquid and
vapor phases is revisited here by means of FTIR spectroscopy and QM methods. In the
crystalline phase, both the IR analysis and QM computations ...
Experimental and numerical modeling of basalt textile reinforced mortar behavior under uniaxial tensile stress
(Elsevier, 2014-03-01)
During the last years several projects and studies have improved the knowledge about textile reinforced mortar (TRM) technology. TRM has already been used in strengthening masonry and reinforced concrete structural elements ...
Lactide-caprolactone copolymers with tuneable barrier properties for packaging applications
(Elsevier, 2020-06-07)
Lactide-caprolactone copolymers have been synthetized employing two metallic catalysts, Ph3Bi and SnOct2. The analysis of the microstructure by NMR reveals that gradient like copolymers are obtained with SnOct2 catalyst, ...
