cellulose/atrophy

Magnesium stearate (MgSt) is a common lubricant used in tablet formulations to facilitate tablet manufacturing by reducing ejection force. The use of MgSt in tablet formulation is known to potentially deteriorate tabletability of plastic powders and slow down drug dissolution. Here, we report

Cell wall deterioration throughout enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulosic biomass is greatly affected by the chemical composition and the ultrastructure of the fiber cell wall. The resulting pattern of cell wall deterioration will reveal information on cellulose activity throughout enzymatic hydrolysis.

The recycled paper and board industry needs to improve the quality of their products to meet customer demands. The refining process and strength additives are commonly used to increase mechanical properties. Interfiber bonding can also be improved using cellulose nanofibers (CNF). A circular economy

The framework of this work was to develop an emulsion-based edible film based on a chitosan nanoparticle matrix with cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) as a stabilizer and reinforcement filler. The chitosan nanoparticles were synthesized based on ionic cross-linking with sodium tripolyphosphate and

A modified chemotaxis chamber was used to evaluate cellulose acetate/nitrate filters for the measurement of dog sperm motility. The distance travelled into the filters was affected by filter pore size, incubation time and sperm concentration. After storage of spermatozoa at 37 degrees C the distance

A 35-year-old white male sustained head injuries in a motor vehicle accident. He underwent neurosurgical repair of a frontotemporal skull fracture and lacerated left frontal lobe; regenerated oxidized cellulose (Surgicel) was placed into the anterior cranial fossa for hemostasis. Forty-eight hours

Cellulose paper, whose main component is cellulose polymer, has been widely used in oil-immersed power transformer that gradually deteriorates during transformer operation. Thermal aging is the main degradation form for cellulose paper immersed in insulation oil (oil-paper insulation) in a

Among animals, urochordates (e.g., ascidians) are unique in their ability to biosynthesize cellulose. In ascidians cellulose is synthesized in the epidermis and incorporated into a protective coat know as the tunic. A putative cellulose synthase-like gene was first identified in the genome sequences

OBJECTIVE To demonstrate that an enhanced sediment microbial fuel cell (SMFC) system can accelerate the degradation of cellulose in fresh water sediments as the accumulation of cellulose in lake sediments may aggravate the lake marsh, increase organic matter content and result in rapid deterioration

Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells have achieved high power conversion efficiencies (PCE) of around 22 %, comparable to conventional silicon and thin-film solar cells. However, the poor stability of the perovskite material is one of the significant drawbacks for its practical

Herein, an optical colorimetric sensor based on photonic cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) was successfully developed to offer a convenient approach for measuring the qualitative index of high humidity (>85% RH). The addition of monovalent electrolyte (0.11 wt% NaCl) to CNC suspension before gelation

Insecticide spray in fruit gardens is a very common practice in different districts of Pakistan. These toxic sprays not only deteriorate the taste of fruit but also due to wet deposition travel through soil, they reach groundwater via leaching process. In the present study, imidazolium-based ionic

Phosphorylated cellulose nanocrystal (P-CNC)/imogolite nanotube (natural aluminosilicate nanotube) hybrid thin films were fabricated by spin-assisted layer-by-layer assembly. Phosphorylation of CNC with diammonium hydrogen phosphate ((NH4)2HPO4) was carried out to introduce phosphate groups on the
