The efficiency of their use in aqueous environments is significantly affected by the presence of cations, Ca2+ and Mg2+ in particular, as they can decrease the concentration of the surfactant due to precipitation. To understand cation–sulfonate interactions better, we study both NaLAS colloidal solutions in the presence of CaCl2 and precipitates forming at higher salt concentrations. Upon addition of CaCl2, we find the surface tension and critical micelle concentration of NaLAS to decrease significantly, in line with earlier findings for alkylbenzylsulfonates in the presence of divalent cations. Strikingly, an increase in the surface tension is discernible above 0.6 g L–1 NaLAS, accompanied by the decrease of apparent micelle sizes, which in turn gives rise to transparent systems. Thus, there appears to be a second critical concentration indicating another micellar equilibrium. Furthermore, the maximum salt tolerance of the surfactant is 0.1 g L–1 Ca2+, above which rapid precipitation occurs yielding sparingly soluble CaLAS2∙2H2O.}, year = {2023}, eissn = {1996-1944}, orcid-numbers = {Janovák, László/0000-0002-2066-319X; Szabados, Márton/0000-0002-7588-335X; Bús, Csaba/0000-0002-4515-8317; Kukovecz, Ákos/0000-0003-0716-9557; Kónya, Zoltán/0000-0002-9406-8596; Dékány, Imre/0000-0001-5472-5355; Sipos, Pál Miklós/0000-0003-1407-0950; Kutus, Bence/0000-0001-5023-0152} } @article{MTMT:33169983, title = {Optimization of Plasmonic Copper Content at Copper-Modified Strontium Titanate (Cu-SrTiO3): Synthesis, Characterization, Photocatalytic Activity}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33169983}, author = {Ágoston, Áron and Balog, Ádám and Narbutas, Šarūnas and Dékány, Imre and Janovák, László}, doi = {10.3390/catal12091041}, journal-iso = {CATALYSTS}, journal = {CATALYSTS}, volume = {12}, unique-id = {33169983}, abstract = {Catalyst development still has a major impact on science today, as we can use catalysts to break down certain pollutants in an energy-efficient way. There is no comprehensive literature on the development of SrTiO3-based photocatalysts, so study in this area is justified. Related to this topic, here we report the facile preparation of surface-modified SrTiO3 photocatalyst, performed by plasmonic copper deposition. In the case of the copper-modified samples (0.25–3 wt.% Cu content), the photooxidation of phenol, as model contaminant, was almost 4–5 times higher than the bare SrTiO3. However, the photocatalytic activity was not linearly related to copper content, since the highest photoactivity was achieved at 1 wt.% copper content. The reason for the better activity was the plasmonic effect of copper, which increases the recombination time of charge separation on the catalyst surface. During slower recombination, more water is oxidized to hydroxyl radicals, which can lead to faster degradation of phenol.}, year = {2022}, eissn = {2073-4344}, orcid-numbers = {Dékány, Imre/0000-0001-5472-5355; Janovák, László/0000-0002-2066-319X} } @article{MTMT:33098545, title = {Photoreactive Coating Material as an Effective and Durable Antimicrobial Composite in Reducing Bacterial Load on Surfaces in Livestock}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33098545}, author = {Kerek, Ádám and Sasvári, Mátyás and Jerzsele, Ákos and Somogyi, Zoltán and Janovák, László and Abonyi-Tóth, Zsolt and Dékány, Imre}, doi = {10.3390/biomedicines10092312}, journal-iso = {BIOMEDICINES}, journal = {BIOMEDICINES}, volume = {10}, unique-id = {33098545}, abstract = {Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a well-known photocatalytic compound that can be used to effectively reduce the presence of pathogens in human and animal hospitals via ROS release. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of a polymer-based composite layer containing TiO2 and zinc oxide (ZnO) against Escherichia coli (E. coli) of animal origin. We showed that the photocatalyst coating caused a significant (p < 0.001) reduction in pathogen numbers compared to the control with an average reduction of 94% over 30 min. We used six light sources of different wattages (4 W, 7 W, 9 W, 12 W, 18 W, 36 W) at six distances (35 cm, 100 cm, 150 cm, 200 cm, 250 cm, 300 cm). Samples (n = 2160) were taken in the 36 settings and showed no significant difference in efficacy between light intensity and distance. We also investigated the influence of organic contaminant that resulted in lower activity as well as the effect of a water jet and a high-pressure device on the antibacterial activity. We found that the latter completely removed the coating from the surface, which significantly (p < 0.0001) reduced its antibacterial potential. As a conclusion, light intensity and distance does not reduce the efficacy of the polymer, but the presence of organic contaminants does.}, year = {2022}, eissn = {2227-9059}, orcid-numbers = {Janovák, László/0000-0002-2066-319X; Abonyi-Tóth, Zsolt/0000-0002-5585-3313; Dékány, Imre/0000-0001-5472-5355} } @article{MTMT:32895864, title = {Synthesis of self-cleaning and photoreactive spherical layered double oxide/polymer composite thin layers: Biofouling and inactivation of bacteria}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32895864}, author = {Imre-Deák, Ágota and Janovák, László and Tallósy, Szabolcs Péter and Godič-Torkar, Karmen and Abram, Anže and Dékány, Imre and Sebők, Dániel and Bohinc, Klemen}, doi = {10.1016/j.clay.2022.106587}, journal-iso = {APPL CLAY SCI}, journal = {APPLIED CLAY SCIENCE}, volume = {228}, unique-id = {32895864}, issn = {0169-1317}, year = {2022}, eissn = {1872-9053}, orcid-numbers = {Imre-Deák, Ágota/0000-0002-6781-1727; Janovák, László/0000-0002-2066-319X; Tallósy, Szabolcs Péter/0000-0001-7150-452X; Dékány, Imre/0000-0001-5472-5355; Sebők, Dániel/0000-0001-9769-5598} } @article{MTMT:32893726, title = {Use of Self-Assembled Colloidal Prodrug Nanoparticles for Controlled Drug Delivery of Anticancer, Antifibrotic and Antibacterial Mitomycin}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32893726}, author = {Abdelghafour, Mohamed M. and Imre-Deák, Ágota and Szabó, Diána and Dékány, Imre and Rovó, László and Janovák, László}, doi = {10.3390/ijms23126807}, journal-iso = {INT J MOL SCI}, journal = {INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR SCIENCES}, volume = {23}, unique-id = {32893726}, issn = {1661-6596}, year = {2022}, eissn = {1422-0067}, orcid-numbers = {Abdelghafour, Mohamed M./0000-0002-7895-4555; Imre-Deák, Ágota/0000-0002-6781-1727; Dékány, Imre/0000-0001-5472-5355; Rovó, László/0000-0003-1782-1756; Janovák, László/0000-0002-2066-319X} } @article{MTMT:32803563, title = {Antioxidant Colloids Via Heteroaggregation of Cerium Oxide Nanoparticles and Latex Beads}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32803563}, author = {Alsharif, Nizar Bilal Saleem and Samu, Gergely Ferenc and Sáringer, Szilárd and Szerlauth, Adél and Takács, Dóra and Varga, Viktória and Dékány, Imre and Szilágyi, István}, doi = {10.1016/j.colsurfb.2022.112531}, journal-iso = {COLLOID SURFACE B}, journal = {COLLOIDS AND SURFACES B: BIOINTERFACES}, volume = {216}, unique-id = {32803563}, issn = {0927-7765}, year = {2022}, eissn = {1873-4367}, orcid-numbers = {Samu, Gergely Ferenc/0000-0002-3239-9154; Sáringer, Szilárd/0000-0002-1906-8094; Varga, Viktória/0000-0001-9933-7604; Dékány, Imre/0000-0001-5472-5355; Szilágyi, István/0000-0001-7289-0979} } @article{MTMT:32792927, title = {Rational Mitomycin Nanocarriers Based on Hydrophobically Functionalized Polyelectrolytes and Poly(lactide-co-glycolide)}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32792927}, author = {Lamch, Łukasz and Wilk, Kazimiera A. and Dékány, Imre and Imre-Deák, Ágota and Varga, Viktória and Janovák, László}, doi = {10.1021/acs.langmuir.1c03360}, journal-iso = {LANGMUIR}, journal = {LANGMUIR}, volume = {38}, unique-id = {32792927}, issn = {0743-7463}, year = {2022}, eissn = {1520-5827}, pages = {5404-5417}, orcid-numbers = {Lamch, Łukasz/0000-0002-0332-7119; Wilk, Kazimiera A./0000-0002-2020-1761; Dékány, Imre/0000-0001-5472-5355; Imre-Deák, Ágota/0000-0002-6781-1727; Varga, Viktória/0000-0001-9933-7604; Janovák, László/0000-0002-2066-319X} } @article{MTMT:32763928, title = {Fundamentals and utilization of solid/ liquid phase boundary interactions on functional surfaces}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32763928}, author = {Mérai, László and Imre-Deák, Ágota and Dékány, Imre and Janovák, László}, doi = {10.1016/j.cis.2022.102657}, journal-iso = {ADV COLLOID INTERFAC}, journal = {ADVANCES IN COLLOID AND INTERFACE SCIENCE}, volume = {303}, unique-id = {32763928}, issn = {0001-8686}, year = {2022}, eissn = {1873-3727}, orcid-numbers = {Imre-Deák, Ágota/0000-0002-6781-1727; Dékány, Imre/0000-0001-5472-5355; Janovák, László/0000-0002-2066-319X} } @article{MTMT:32585272, title = {Kolloidkémiai iskolák}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32585272}, author = {Dékány, Imre and Nagyné László, Krisztina}, journal-iso = {MAGY KEM LAP}, journal = {MAGYAR KÉMIKUSOK LAPJA}, volume = {76}, unique-id = {32585272}, issn = {0025-0163}, year = {2021}, eissn = {1588-1199}, pages = {237-237}, orcid-numbers = {Dékány, Imre/0000-0001-5472-5355; Nagyné László, Krisztina/0000-0003-4499-3983} } @article{MTMT:32585256, title = {Adszorpció és stabilitás organikus biner elegyekben}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32585256}, author = {Dékány, Imre}, journal-iso = {MAGY KEM LAP}, journal = {MAGYAR KÉMIKUSOK LAPJA}, volume = {76}, unique-id = {32585256}, issn = {0025-0163}, year = {2021}, eissn = {1588-1199}, pages = {230-236}, orcid-numbers = {Dékány, Imre/0000-0001-5472-5355} }
