In this contribution, supercritical CO2-assisted impregnation of LDPE/sepiolite nanocomposite films with two insecticidal terpene ketones (thymoquinone and R-(+)-pulegone) is investigated, as a strategy to enhance the ...

The aim of this contribution was to obtain bioactive materials for stored grain protection and food preservation, by incorporating a biopesticide (1-octen-3-ol) in polyethylene (LDPE) films using supercritical CO2–assisted ...

In this work, low density polyethylene (LDPE) films were loaded by scCO2-assisted impregnation with R-(−)-carvone, the main component of M. spicata and A. polystachya essential oils with antimicrobial and insecticidal ...

Supercritical CO2-assisted impregnation was applied to incorporate eugenol into polyamide fibers in order to develop a solvent-free material with antimicrobial properties to be potentially applied as dental floss. Impregnation ...

Microencapsulation of chia oil in soy protein microparticles was achieved using supercritical CO2-assisted impregnation, an alternative green technology. The effect of the process variables on retention and encapsulation ...

In this work, mass transfer kinetics of CO2 and eugenol into polyamide 6 (PA6) fibers under supercritical conditions were investigated in the context of the development of a functional dental floss for dental care applications ...

Release kinetics of thymoquinone and R-(+)-pulegone impregnated in low-density polyethylene (LDPE) films into air and the effect of supercritical CO2-assisted impregnation process on the diffusional properties of these ...

Eugenol (4-allyl-2-methoxyphenol) is a naturally occurring phenol present in many botanical extracts, such as clove, cinnamon, and nutmeg essential oils. The beneficial properties of this compound have been extensively ...
