Saccharum munja biomass is a cheap lignocelluloses which has high carbohydrate content and, if properly pre-treated, could be converted to fermentable sugar. The aim of the study is to isolate cellulose degrading microbes from soil samples collected from different regions and to identify cellulose degrading microbes of fungi. A total of 20 soil samples were collected and processed for isolating...

In this study coatings of kaolin and talc particles were successfully applied on the surface polyamide 12 powder intended for laser sintering (LS). Microscopic observations revealed that using carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) as modifier fillers led to a better coverage polymer grains with between 6 16% function filler type content. Differential scanning calorimetry measurements showed addition an...

A carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)/polyethyleneimine (PEI) hybrid hydrogel was successfully prepared under green processing conditions. The CMC and PEI formed a polyelectrolyte complex, the three-dimensional (3D) network structure hardened by chemical crosslinking, resulting in suitable properties. In CMC/PEI hydrogel, surface charge easily switched according to pH change, swelling contraction rev...

In the present paper five wild Pleurotus species namely P. floridanus Singer, P. pulmonarius (Fr.) Quél., P. sapidus Quél., P. cystidiosus O.K.Mill. and P. sajor-caju (Fr.) Sing., collected from different localities of North West India have been studied for the qualitative estimation of cellulose and lignin degradation enzymes through colorimetric assays. On the basis of the results obtained, t...

Superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) are functional macromolecules with high water absorption and retention capacities. Nowadays, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) nanofibrils (CMCNFs) widely utilized as absorbent materials to replace petroleum-based SAPs, which lead environmental pollution. However, their water- holding characteristics inferior compared those of SAPs. In this study, we explore the polym...

BACKGROUND Cassava starch, the economically important agricultural commodity in Thailand, can readily be cast into films. However, the cassava starch film is brittle and weak, leading to inadequate mechanical properties. The properties of starch film can be improved by adding plasticizers and blending with the other biopolymers. RESULTS Cassava starch (5%w/v) based films plasticized with glyc...

In the present work, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)–polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)–NH4NO3 with addition of ethylene carbonate (EC) based polymer blend electrolyte (PBE) was explored. The complexes PBE EC revealed that an interaction –OH and –COO? CMC–PVA dissociation H+ from NH4NO3 provides a flexibility pathway for ion hopping. optimum ionic conductivity at room temperature found to be 3.92 × 10?3 S/c...

To improve the dispersion effectiveness of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in epoxy and adhesion resulted composites on steel substrates, this paper proposed to surface treat CNTs using carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) epoxy-CNTs composite. The characterizations properties reinforced by CMC treated were then systematically investigated. with three different weight fractions (0.5%, 1%, 2%) CMCs their compo...

Pineapple leaf waste, with its high cellulose content, can serve as alternative starting material for the production of carboxymethyl (CMC). In this study, synthesis conditions CMC from pineapple leaves via use microwave heating were optimized. Box-Behnken design and response surface methodology applied to schedule experiments optimize condition, respectively. Preparation was investigated by va...

In this study, bisphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) and two types of polysaccharide, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and hyaluronic acid (HyA), were used to fabricate composite block bone grafts, and their physical and biological features and performances were compared and evaluated in vitro and in vivo. Specimens of the following were prepared as 6 mm diameter, 2 mm thick discs; BPC mixed with CMC ...
