Loosening Xyloglucan for The Enzymatic Degradation of Cellulose in Wood

Cellulose Acetate Nanofiltration Membranes for Cadmium Remediation

In this work, cellulose acetate (CA) nanofiltration (NF) membranes were prepared via non-solvent phase inversion technique (NIPS). Polymer concentration was varied from 22 to 25 wt% in order to study its effect on the membrane properties. The fabricated membranes were characterized in terms of morphological analysis using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), contact angle, water content, water p...

Pebax-Modified Cellulose Acetate Membrane for CO2/N2 Separation

Carbon dioxide (CO2) release from the exhaust gas streams of power plants that burn fossil fuels contributes the most emission of this gas, which includes more than half of the greenhouse effects. Thus, the separation of CO2 from exhaust gases is one of the main environmental concerns. Membrane technology, due to many advantages, has attracted many research attentions among the various gas sepa...

Enzymatic phosphorylation of acetate.

The metabolic utilization of acetate (oxidation via the citric acid cycle, synthesis of higher fatty acids, cholesterol, and possibly other compounds) requires a preliminary activation through conversion to acetyl C0A.l Two main mechanisms are known to bring about this activation (2). One of these mechanisms, utilized by animal tissues, yeast, and some bacteria, seems to involve a single enzyme...

Morphology, in Vitro - Degradation and Drug Release Profile of Poly (ethylene-co-vinyl Acetate) / Microcrystalline Cellulose Acetate

Microcrystalline cellulose acetate (MCC) was incorporated in poly (ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) (EVA) at different loading. The morphology, swelling properties and drug release profile were studied with respect to MCC loading to study its potential application as ocular inserts. The XRD patterns showed a good compatibility between the components. However swelling ratio and in-vitro degradation of...
