Enzyme Catalyzed Copolymerization of Lignosulfonates for Hydrophobic Coatings
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2021 Enzymatic polymerization of lignin can generate a variety of value-added products concomitantly replacing fossil-based resources. In line with this approach, a laccase from the thermophilic fungus Myceliophthora thermophila (MtL) was used to couple a ...

Development of antiseptic adaptation and cross-adapatation in selected oral pathogens in vitro [PDF]
, 2019 There is evidence that pathogenic bacteria can adapt to antiseptics upon repeated exposure. More alarming is the concomitant increase in antibiotic resistance that has been described for some pathogens.

HYDROPHOBIC IMPREGNATION OF GEOPOLYMER COMPOSITE BY ETHOXYSILANES
Acta Polytechnica, 2018 A geopolymer composite was impregnated by incorporating the hydrophobic alkyl group on the outer surface and in the inner structure of the geopolymer. Ethoxysilanes 1H,1H,2H,2H perfluoroctyltriethoxysilane and hexadecyltrimethoxysilane were used as the ...

Applications of three-dimensional carbon nanotube networks
Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2015 In this paper, we show that it is possible to synthesize carbon-based three-dimensional networks by adding sulfur, as growth enhancer, during the synthesis process. The obtained material is self-supporting and consists of curved and interconnected carbon

Hydrophobic Attraction Measured between Asymmetric Hydrophobic Surfaces
Langmuir, 2018 The interaction forces between silica surfaces modified to different degrees of hydrophobicity were measured using colloidal probe atomic force microscopy (AFM). A highly hydrophobic silica particle was prepared with octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS), and the interaction forces were measured against silica substrates modified to produce surfaces of ...

A study of bacteria adhesion and microbial corrosion on different stainless steels in environment containing Desulfovibrio vulgaris [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2021 Stainless steel is an important material used in many applications due to its mechanical strength and corrosion-resistant properties. The high corrosion resistance of stainless steel is provided by the passive film.

Assessing the effect of dynamics on the closed-loop protein-folding hypothesis [PDF]
, 2014 The closed-loop (loop-n-lock) hypothesis of protein folding suggests that loops of about 25 residues, closed through interactions between the loop ends (locks), play an important role in protein structure.
