This work presents a new additive manufacturing electrochemical device with conductive graphene and polylactic acid (PLA) filament its application for epinephrine sensing. A three-electrode configuration based on screen-printed electrode architecture an easy-to-connect connector was designed. The sensor surface chemically treated dimethylformamide (DMF) to remove the insulating thermoplastic ex...

Oily wastewater is an urgent issue that threatens the ecosystem and human health. Superhydrophobic porous materials are widely concerned as promising candidates for effective oil/water separation oil adsorption. However, superhydrophobic still confronted with frustrations such complex preparation processes secondary pollution to environment. biodegradability a relatively simple process more att...

To enhance wheat straw compatibility with the polylactic acid (PLA) matrix, several graphene-based materials (GBMs) derivatives, including graphene nanoplatelets, oxide, and nano graphite particles a constant fraction of 0.1 wt.-%, were employed for surface functionalisation straw. Wheat quality was assessed by comparing PLA bio-based composites' mechanical thermal performance without GBM funct...

Abstract This research work is aimed to convert fish scale wastes as an effective reinforcement in polylactic acid (PLA) a new bio-composite filament for fused deposition-based 3D printing applications. Various concentrations of particles (0, 10, 20, and 30%) were used make the filaments. The performance developed filaments was assessed by into various test specimens perform tensile, flexural, ...

Due to the poor compatibility caused by large difference in hydrophilicity and interface between polylactic acid (PLA) cellulose acetate (CA), blending of two materials is difficult application limited. To solve this problem, a type polyamide amine (PAMAM) dendrimer was introduced modify PLA/CA blends work. The results showed that PAMAM could improve blends, promote distribution CA crystallizat...

Polylactic acid (PLA)/cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) composite foams have attracted much attention due to their biodegradability and potential replace petroleum-based foams. However, the dispersion of (unmodified) CNCs in PLA remains challenging. Here, we used Pickering emulsion templating method unmodified stabilize microspheres prepare a concentrated masterbatch. This masterbatch was conventiona...

Biodegradable polylactic acid (PLA) polymer was evaluated for its application as a material for antimicrobial food packaging. PLA films were incorporated with nisin to for control of foodborne pathogens. Antimicrobial activity of PLA/nisin films against Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli O157:H7, and Salmonella Enteritidis were evaluated in culture media and liquid foods (orange juice and...

In this study, blends of polypropylene (PP) with polylactic acid (PLA) and polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) biopolymers wood flour were prepared, Fuzzy Grey Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) methods used to determine the best properties. The physical, mechanical, thermal, structural, morphological properties composites determined. obtained results showed that PLA generally improved mechanical PP c...

Mitomycin C is one of the most effective chemotherapeutic agents for a wide spectrum of cancers, but its clinical use is still hindered by the mitomycin C (MMC) delivery systems. In this study, the MMC-loaded polymer-lipid hybrid nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by a single-step assembly (ACS Nano 2012, 6:4955 to 4965) of MMC-soybean phosphatidyhlcholine (SPC) complex (Mol. Pharmaceutics 2013,...
