Simple Preparation of Cellulosic Lightweight Materials from Eucalyptus Pulp

Thermal Degradation of Cellulosic Materials

Fortisan, cellulose triacetate, and NOroxidized cellulose were pyrolyzed in a vacuum in the temperature range 1800 to 465 0 C. Cotton cellulose and cellulose t ri acetate were also pyrolyzed in nitrogen at atmospheric pressure. The tar yields were in the decreasing order from: Cotton, Fortisan, cellulose triacetate, and oxidized cellulose. The other volatiles consisted mainly of acetic acid, ca...

In vivo study of respiratory depression of pulp tissue resulting from cavity preparation and dental materials.

Pulpal respiration in second and third premolar dog teeth was measured by a radioisotope tracer determination. Dental amalgam, a zinc oxide and eugenol base, and a calcium hydroxide base were placed into a cavity preparation. Following a two-week period the teeth wer~ extracted intact. The pulp tissue was removed and suspended in a phosphate buffer saline solution (PBS) which 14C-succinic acid ...

Approaching super-hydrophobicity from cellulosic materials: A Review

The development of super-hydrophobic surfaces has been inspired by natural systems and uses a number of novel (nano) technologies. Superhydrophobicity has stimulated much scientific and industrial interest because of applications in water repellency, selfcleaning, friction reduction, antifouling, etc. Despite its inherent hydrophilicity, cellulose has unparalleled advantages as a substrate for ...
