Antibacterial and Cytotoxicity Effects of TiO2-Grafted Cellulose Nanocomposite

TiO2-grafted cellulose bio-nanocomposite (Cell.Com) was successfully prepared by combining modified cellulose and TiO2 nanoparticles via copper-catalyzed alkyne-azide click reaction. The antibacterial and cytotoxicity effects of Cell.Com containing cellulose, triazole ring and TiO2 moieties are reported in this work. The antibacterial activity of Cell.Com was investigated against gram positive ...

Synthesis and Characterisation of Styrene Butadiene Styrene Based Grafted Copolymers for Use in Potential Biomedical Applications

In the annals of history the evolution of the synthetic rubber industry can be traced to the early 1930s where the first emulsion polymerised styrene butadiene rubber known as Buna S was prepared by I. G. Farbenindustrie in Germany. But it was not until the US Government in 1940 established the Rubber Reserve Company, a stockpile of natural rubber and the development of a synthetic rubber progr...

Taste sensing with polyacrylamide grafted cellulose

The research work covers polymer membrane preparation, morphology study, and structural characterization of the membrane and study of the taste sensing characteristics of membrane for five different taste substances. FTIR spectroscopic analysis, UV spectroscopic analysis and SEM were carried for the structure and morphology of polyacrylamide (PAM) grafted cellulose membrane. Sensor characterist...

Development of Styrene-Grafted Polyurethane by Radiation-Based Techniques

Polyurethane (PU) is the fifth most common polymer in the general consumer market, following Polypropylene (PP), Polyethylene (PE), Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and Polystyrene (PS), and the most common polymer for thermosetting resins. In particular, polyurethane has excellent hardness and heat resistance, is a widely used material for electronic products and automotive parts, and can be used to ...
