ŠIMKO P., SKLÁRŠOVÁ B., ŠIMON P., BELAJOVÁ E. (2006): Effect of plastic packages on benzo[a]pyrene concentration in sunflower oil. Czech J. Food Sci., 24: 143–148. Commercially available sunflower oil and the same oil distilled additionally in a molecular evaporator (to remove naturally occurring compounds) was spiked with benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) at the levels of 37.1 and 38.6 μg/kg, respectively....

The characterization of the dielectric properties wood–polymer composites (WPCs) is essential to understand their interaction with electromagnetic fields and evaluate potential use for new applications. Thus, spectroscopy monitored evolution WPCs over a wide frequency range 1 MHz GHz. were prepared using mixtures different proportions (40%, 50%, 60%) wood bark fibers from various species, high-...

Abstract In Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) processing the raw materials are purified terephthalic acid (PTA), moderately (MTA), monoehalene glycol (MEG). The of PTA is very difficult and costly. For reducing percent we using different percentages MTA blend in PET processing. affected properties polyester melt spinning process. such as elongation, tenacity, molecular chain length, b-color IV, ...

Construction of flexible pavements with hot mix asphalt (HMA) mixtures consumes huge energy which impacts the resources and the environment of the world. Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) is an effective alternative as they produced with lower mixing and compaction temperature than those used in HMA production. This technology decreases energy consumption, saves money, and reducing the environmental pollu...

The safety of 6 modified terephthalate polymers as cosmetic ingredients was assessed. These ingredients mostly function as exfoliants, bulking agents, hair fixatives, and viscosity-increasing agents-nonaqueous. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is used in leave-on products up to 100% and in rinse-off products up to 2%. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel (Panel) considered that the PET u...

Two different procedures of grafting with silver nanoparticles (AgNP) of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), activated by plasma treatment, are studied. In the first procedure, the PET foil was grafted with biphenyl-4,4'-dithiol and subsequently with silver nanoparticles. In the second one, the PET foil was grafted with silver nanoparticles previously coated with the same dithiol. X-ray photoelec...
