The Efficiencies of Cellulose Acetate Filters

The Potentials and Applications of Cellulose Acetate in biosensor technology

The interest in cellulose and its derivatives has been exponentially increasing due to its excellent thermal stability, biocompatibility, chemical persistence and biodegradability. Among various cellulose derivatives, cellulose acetate (CA) has been applied in many applications including sensor systems, drug delivery systems, separation membrane, and tissue engineering. Recently, the electrospu...

Evaluation of cellulose acetate/nitrate filters for measuring the motility of dog spermatozoa.

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 penetrated into the filters reflected the deterioration of the sample, but was not as sensitive ...

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...

Thermal and Magnetic Characteristics of Cellulose Acetate- Fe3O4

Fe3O4 nanoparticles were synthesizedviaa simple chemical reaction between FeCl2.4H2O and Fe(NO3)3.9H2O under nitrogen atmosphere at room temperature, and then nanoparticles were added to cellulose acetate (CA) polymer. The influence of nanoparticles on the thermal properties of CA polymeric matrix was studied using the...
