This work addresses the development of a novel user-interactive image analysis computed technique to determine main characteristics cellular structure materials with any density, morphology, and/or cell size from micrographs obtained source—scanning electron microscopy, optical etc. The specific analyzed parameters are (mean diameter), anisotropy, distribution, and density. A comparison several conventionally used methods is also presented in this work. such application offers quick (<3...
Current approaches for the remediation of oil spills propose utilization functionalized polymeric foams as efficient absorbents. However, majority materials employed, studies are focused on sophisticated surface treatments while significant role morphological parameters porous structure pristine remains unexplored. Herein, we prove that structural pores play a fundamental removal from water. The presented experimental and theoretical study shows polyurethane with highly interconnected open...
Herein we present an interesting approach for the reutilization of coffee waste in water remediation. This is achieved by development bioelastomeric foams composed 60 wt % spent powder and 40 silicone elastomer using sugar leaching technique. In this study, necessary characteristics developed "green" successful removal Pb2+ Hg2+ ions from water, identify involved mechanisms. The capability to interact with not affected presence other metal as tests real wastewater demonstrate. incorporation...
Abstract A new type of nanocellular polymeric material based on PMMA and a MAM triblock copolymer is presented. The production avoids the use physical additives leads to completely homogeneous nanostructured polymers with large number CO 2 nucleation sites. foamed materials show average cell sizes <200 nm relative foam densities 0.4, presenting structure. effect not measured before in demonstrated, which an increase glass transition temperature due confining chains walls foam. effects...
An environmentally friendly method to produce tunable bulk micro or nanoporous structures is presented. Nano- and micro-porous are obtained by gas dissolution foaming using CO2, following the pattern of polymer blends between poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) a triblock copolymer, namely poly(methylmethacrylate)-co-poly(butyl acrylate)-co-poly(methyl methacrylate) (MAM) nanostructuration. Membranes depth filters can be produced this method, varying amount copolymer in blend. Furthermore, main...
A new and straightforward single-step route to decorate melamine foams with silver nanoparticles (ME/Ag) is proposed. Uniform coatings of diameters less than 10 nm are formed in situ directly on the struts surface foams, after their dipping an AgNO3 solution. We prove that stably adhered amount can be controlled by concentration solution time. Following this production route, ME/Ag obtained content ranging between 0.2 18.6 wt % excellent antibacterial performance, making them appropriate for...
The excellent catalytic properties of copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) for the degradation highly toxic and recalcitrant chlorpyrifos pesticide are widely known. However, CuNPs generally present low stability caused by their high sensitivity to oxidation, which leads a change response over time. In current work, immobilization into polycaprolactone (PCL) matrix via electrospinning was demonstrated be very effective method retard air solvent oxidation ensure constant activity in long term. were...
Fibrous mats with hydrophobic and oleophilic properties have been fabricated used as absorbents of oil from stable water in emulsions.
PMMA-based magnetic nanocomposite fibrous mats reach oil absorption efficiencies up to 90% in water–oil stable emulsions.
