Univerza v Mariboru je skupaj s Pokrajinskim muzejem organizirala okroglo mizo Dediščinska znanost in podnebne spremembe, katere namen je bil spodbuditi različne deležnike k povezovanju in izvajanju interdisciplinarnih raziskav, ki
Microencapsulation of cannabidiol in liposomes as coating for cellulose for potential advanced sanitary material
The microencapsulation of the cannabidiol and its integration into the tampon can eliminate vaginal inflammation, which at the same time lead to relaxation of the abdominal muscles. The tampon, which
Rapid Functionalization of Polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE) Surfaces with Nitrogen Functional Groups
The biocompatibility of body implants made from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is inadequate; therefore, the surface should be grafted with biocompatible molecules. Because PTFE is an inert polymer, the adhesion of the
Non-Equilibrium Plasma Methods for Tailoring Surface Properties of Polyvinylidene Fluoride: Review and Challenges
Modification and functionalization of polymer surface properties is desired in numerous applications, and a standard technique is a treatment with non-equilibrium gaseous plasma. Fluorinated polymers exhibit specific properties and are
Effective Removal of Acid Dye in Synthetic and Silk Dyeing Effluent: Isotherm and Kinetic Studies
Here, we propose a low-cost, sustainable, and viable adsorbent (pine tree-derived biochar) to remove acid dyes such as acid violet 17 (AV), which is used in the silk dyeing industry.
One-Step Fabrication of Hollow Spherical Cellulose Beads: Application in pH-Responsive Therapeutic Delivery
The path to greater sustainability and the development of polymeric drug delivery systems requires innovative approaches. The adaptation and use of biobased materials for applications such as targeted therapeutic delivery
Humidity Response of Cellulose Thin Films
Cellulose-water interactions are crucial to understand biological processes as well as to develop tailor made cellulose-based products. However, the main challenge to study these interactions is the diversity of natural
Adsorptive Removal of Heavy Metal Ions by Waste Wool
Raw and waste wool were studied for the removal of heavy metal ions such as Zn(II) and Cu (II) from wastewater. Characterization of both wool samples was done by attenuated
