The increasing interest in the fate of organic contaminants in the aquatic environment requires the elucidation of relevant abiotic transformation processes. These processes often involve the ubiquitous dissolved organic matter (DOM), a complex mixture of ...
Introduction and Aims Drinks consumed in real life are diverse, in terms of beverage type, container size and alcohol by volume. To date, most ecological momentary assessment studies have assessed drinking amounts with 'standard' drinks, although their eve ...
Thiol precursor content in Melon B. and Sauvignon blanc grape juices obtained under vacuum was determined by quantifying cysteinylated and glutathionylated conjugates of 3-mercaptohexan-1-ol (3MH) and 4-methyl-4-mercaptopentan-2-one (4MMP). This characteri ...
Innovative pretreatment by UVC light (185 nm) and by radio-frequency (RF) plasma at atmospheric pressure to functionalize the Nylon surface, increasing its bondability toward TiO2, is reported in this study In the case of UVC light pretreatment in air, the ...
Two new innovative findings presented in this study are: (a) TiO2-cotton fabrics obtained by pretreatment with UVC-light (185nm) at atmospheric pressure introduced functionalities into the cotton surface enabling the chelation/binding of TiO2. This was pos ...
The photocatalytic activity of TiO2–SiO2-coated cotton textiles was investigated through the self-cleaning of red wine stains. It was shown that a TiO2–SiO2 species could be produced at temperatures of 100 °C with acceptable photo-activity on non-heat resi ...
