In the present work three common polyolefins: high density polyethylene (HDPE), low
density polyethylene (LDPE) and polypropylene (PP) have been treated with an …

In this article we review the recent developments in the field of high resolution lateral
map** of the surface chemical composition of polymers by atomic force microscopy (AFM) …

3D printing has revolutionized a number of industries, but complete extension to electronics,
robotics, and machines has yet to be realized. Current limitations are due to the absence of …

In this study, we explored the application of GPE, a novel environmental depressant derived
from grape peel extract, for the flotation separation of sphalerite and chalcopyrite. We …

Functionalized textiles and especially cosmetotextiles are increasingly used in the cosmetics
and pharmaceutical industries. A cosmetotextile allows the administration of active …

Industries worldwide have been impacted by environmental regulations, economics, and
ultimately consumers, which has led to more thought about the development of sustainable …

The functional properties of wheat powders depend largely on the surface characteristics of
their particles. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) has been considered to investigate …

Surface modification as a route to improving the performance of polymeric biomaterials is an
area of much topical interest. Ultraviolet (UV) light treatment has received much attention …

During atmospheric pressure plasma treatment, the existence of moisture in the substrate
material may have a potential influence on the treatment effect. In this study, nylon 6 fibers …

Low temperature plasma treatment has been conducted in textile industry and has some
success in the dyeing and finishing processes. In this paper, an attempt was made to apply …
