Natural antimicrobial extracted from medicinal plants

The aim of our project was to discover a new antimicrobial extracted from some medicinal plants. We choose Thymus vulgaris, Thymus capitatus and Melaleuca alternifolia. Then we extracted the essential oils from these plants by means of steam distillation. We discovered that there is no synergy between these three plants and that they are powerful bactericides, both on Gram+ and …

Cherry Flavour Concrete Innovative Biomaterial for Thermal Insulation

Cherry Flavour concrete is a study on the assessments of the thermal conductivity of cement realized with cherry kernel as lightweight recycling aggregates. The study conducted has put in evidence the lower thermal conductivity of the mixture containing cherry kernel, which are most suitable as a recycling aggregate for non-structural castings for thermal insulation. At the end the study showed …
