This paper provides a bio-based polyurethane foam (PUR) solution, following cradle-to-factory approach. The design of rigid PURs, reinforced with sustainable fillers have gained remarkable attention in "green" construction sector. Their marked performances make them viable solution for synthetic counterparts' replacement. In this work, functionalized hemp fibers and silica powders were selected as reactive fillers, imparting multifunctional properties to the designed PURs. Hemp underwent...
The growing interest of oncologists in natural compounds such as polyphenols and flavonoids is encouraging the development innovative efficient carriers for delivery those drugs. This study examines carboxymethyl chitosan-based microcapsules created by spray drying a method delivering biologically active isolated from Cistus herb. Effects sterilization encapsulation on polyphenol flavonoid content extract were investigated to optimize production process. Furthermore, vitro studies carried...
In this study we explored the implementation of vapor induced phase separation (VIPS) to produce cellulose acetate microcapsules for encapsulation a complex mix fragrances. VIPS is technique used membrane preparation, but barely mentioned microencapsulation. We compared products from and more common microencapsulation process, immersion precipitation (IPS). The capsules prepared via show core-shell structure with thin polymeric shell surrounding internally empty space, conversely those...
Constant increase of greenhouse gas emission by human activity causes a climate change, with carbon dioxide as the main contributor. In nature, CO 2 fixation takes place in leaves where carbonic anhydrase (CA) catalyzes hydration reaction. Inspired this photosynthesis process, we come polysulfone biomimetic membrane containing CA for capture. Two immobilization approaches were investigated: physical and chemical. For reason, prepared blank to physically adsorb enzyme on its surface,...
