Apparent digestibility coefficients (ADCs) of dry matter, crude protein, crude lipid, nitrogen-free extract, and energy in selected carbohydrate sources including wheat flour (WF), α-potato starch (PS), α-corn starch (CS), Na alginate (AL), dextrin (DEX), and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) were determined for olive flounder. The olive flounder averaging 150 ± 8.0 g were held in 300-L tanks at a ...

Biomass-based filtration media are of interest as an economical means to remove pollutants and nutrients found in stormwater runoff. Refined aspen wood fiber samples treated with iron salt solutions demonstrated limited capacities to remove (ortho)phosphate from test solutions. To provide additional sites for iron complex formation, and thereby impart a greater capacity for phosphate removal, a...

The commercialized binder carboxymethyl cellulose sodium (CMC-Na) is considered unsuitable for micro-sized SiOx anode as it cannot endure the large volume change to retain conductive network during repeated charge/discharge cycles. Herein, a small amount of silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs) added slurry preparation process “nano-combs” unfold convoluted CMC-Na polymer chains so that they undergo co...

Abstract The current work aims to synthesize carboxymethyl cellulose/polypyrrole (CMC/PPy) blends with different PPy concentrations as promising for energy storage devices low cost and excellent chemical physical characteristics. structural dielectric characteristics of CMC/PPy were studied. FT-IR spectroscopy is utilized study the properties present blends, whereas are explored at frequency ra...

For tailored functionalization of cellulose based papers, the interaction between paper fibers and functional additives must be understood. Planar surfaces represent a suitable model system for studying binding additives. In this work, polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs) are prepared by alternating dip-coating negatively charged derivate carboxymethyl polycation, either polydiallyldimethylammoni...

The complete computational study of the methyldopa drug and its derivatives prodrug 1-4(methyldopa-cellulose (Ce), methyldopa-carboxymethyl cellulose(CMC), methyldopa-maleic anhydride cellulose (MAC)and methyldopa-hydroxypropyl cellulose(HPC)) was performed by Density Function theory method with Becker’s three parameter hybrid functional (B3LYP) 6-31G++ (d, p) basis set using Gaussian 09 progra...

The objective of this study is to inkjet print resistor-capacitor (RC) low pass electrical filters, using a novel water-based cellulose graphene ink, and compare the voltage-frequency and transient behavior to equivalent circuits constructed from discrete passive components. The synthesized non-toxic graphene-carboxymethyl cellulose (G-CMC) ink is deposited on mechanically flexible polyimide su...

Mango fruit (cv. Seddik) is known as a delicate for storage after harvest. Herein, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and guar gum-based silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were used coatings, their effects on postharvest behavior quality attributes investigated. AgNPs synthesized using chemical reduction approach then combined with CMC gum coating bases. fruits coated the developed pre-characterized CMC-A...
