New superabsorbent hydrogels were synthesized through free radical graft copolymerization of partially neutralized acrylic acid (AA) and 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS) onto carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) backbones. The structure and morphology of the synthesized superabsorbent hydrogels were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microsco...

Drilling fluids can be considered complex liquids containing several desired materials. These materials (small additives) are specialty products that serve a specific need, such as controlling the rheological properties of drilling fluid and reducing corrosion for operational both oil gas wells. Additives used to resist called inhibitors. Previous research has shown polymers Carboxymethyl Cellu...

Fungi involved in the biodegradation of maizecob were isolated and screened for cellulase activity using glucose and carboxylmethyl cellulose as carbon sources. The effect of the carbon sources on cellulase production was determined. Eleven fungi species were isolated which include Rhizopus oryzae, Aspergillus flavus, Mucor racemosus, Aspergillus niger, Penicillium atrovenetum, Penicillium expa...

To utilize a super-hydrophobic tetradecane-adsorbed marshmallow-like gel as phase-change material (PCM) carrier for latent heat transportation by mixing the particles with sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) solution, dispersion characteristics and flow of slurry were investigated. investigate slurry, visual observation under static conditions was performed while varying concentration CMC, app...

Paper artifacts have unique cultural and historical values. However, over time, many paper appear with disease characteristics such as embrittlement photoaging, losing the most fundamental function of literature archive. The reinforcement handling degraded is, therefore, a necessary measure to extend their service life, key which lies in prevention photoaging. This intended use graphene oxide (...

This research was conducted to determine the effect of kweni mango juice addition and percentage Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) on physicochemical characteristics watermelon albedo fruitghurt. The used completely randomized design with two factors, i.e (12.5%, 15.0%, 17.5%) (0.3%, 0.5%, 0.7%). results showed that had highly significant ash content, vitamin C total lactic acid bacteria, viscosity...

PURPOSE 5-Methoxy-carbonylamino-N-acetyltryptamine (5-MCA-NAT, a melatonin receptor agonist) produces a clear intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction in New Zealand White rabbits and glaucomatous monkeys. The goal of this study was to evaluate whether the hypotensive effect of 5-MCA-NAT was enhanced by the presence of cellulose derivatives, some of them with bioadhesive properties, as well as to d...

Locusts are able to digest the cellulose of Gramineae plants, resulting in their being considered as major crop pests. To illustrate the mechanism involved in cellulose digestion, the cellulolytic activity and zymography in the gut contents of 16 locust species were determined using carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) as substrate. The diversity of gut symbiotic bacteria was studied using denaturing ...

Efficient cellulolytic enzymes are needed to degrade recalcitrant plant biomass during ethanol purification and make lignocellulosic biofuels a cost-effective alternative to fossil fuels. Despite the large number of insect species that feed on lignocellulosic material, limited availability of quantitative studies comparing cellulase activity among insect taxa constrains identification of candid...

Medicinal carbon (MC) tablets were prepared to obtain an oral dosage form that can be easily taken. The MC tablets were made by the wet granule compression method, in which hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC), carboxymethyl cellulose sodium (CMC-Na) and maltitol (MT) were applied as binders. Brilliant Blue FCF (BB) was used as a model drug. The binders were evaluated in terms of formability of the gr...
