Present paper examines the effect of acid type and hydrolysis conditions on morphology, size, yield and crystallinity of produced cellulose nanocrystal (CNC). Cellulose obtained from waste office paper was hydrolyzed under the same conditions by Maleic acid (MA) and Sulfuric Acid (SA) in separate treatments.  Also this cellulose was hydrolyzed under different timing and temperature by MA and SA...

In the cation of the title compound, C(11)H(15)ClNO(+)·C(4)H(3)O(4) (-)·C(4)H(4)O(4), the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the chlorine-substituted aromatic ring and the 4-hy-droxy-piperidinium ring (C-C-C-C-C-N) is 61.9 (8)°. Intra-molecular O-H⋯O and inter-molecular O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonding, as well as weak π-stacking inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.646 (5) Å] h...

ABSTRACT. Acrylated Parkia biglobosa medium oil alkyd prepared by the reaction between an acid containing acrylic copolymer and a monoglyceride followed by the addition of polyol and dibasic acid has been investigated for improved properties. The results revealed that acid functional acrylic copolymers containing maleic anhydride as a functional co-monomer can successfully be used to modify alk...

This paper presents the degradation of phenol in wastewater using anolyte, which is generated from electrochemical activation process. Anolyte consists of reactive ions and free radicals, which contribute to its oxidizing behavior. The optimum conditions, which facilitate a complete degradation of phenol, were found using variation of dosage of anolyte and reaction time. It was found that about...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The erbium, chromium: yttrium, scandium, gallium, garnet (Er,Cr:YSGG) hydrokinetic laser system has been successful in the ablation of dental tissues. It has been reported that this system is also useful for preparing tooth surfaces for adhesion, but results to date have been controversial. PURPOSE This in vitro study evaluated the bond strengths of porcelain laminate ven...

Luminescent polynorbornene (PNB)/quantum dot (CdSe@ZnS; QD) composite nanorods and nanotubes were successfully prepared using anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membranes of various pore sizes as templates. To protect QDs with high quantum yield from quenching during the phosphoric acid treatment used to remove the AAO templates, chemically stable and optically clear norbornene-maleic anhydride copoly...
