Owing to non-degradable waste plastics causing serious environmental pollution, the development of natural polymeric materials has become an important topic. Herein, multilayer tunicate cellulose films (MTCFs) were fabricated by a top-down approach, where alkali treated mantles layer-by-layer hot-pressed. Strong hydrogen bonds that formed between layers resulted in good interfacial compatibilit...

We have studied the influence of oxygen radio frequency glow discharge (RfGD) on the surface and bulk properties of poly(D,L-lactic acid) (PDLLA) and the effect of this surface modification on both protein adsorption and bone cell behavior. PDLLA films were characterized before and after plasma surface modification by water contact angle, surface energy, and adhesion tension of water as well as...

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of moderate electric field (MEF) treatment, as a non-thermal technology, on structure and techno-functionality sodium caseinate. Colloidal dispersions caseinate were subjected different MEF processing conditions (2.56 V cm−1 for 1 2 h, 38.46 5 20 s) their structural, physical, emulsifying film-forming characteristics assessed. The Fourier transform infrar...

Many factors influence physical properties of edible composite films fabricated from hydrocolloids and lipids. Novel edible emulsified films were made using PGP, glycerol and stearic (SA) or oleic (OA) fatty acids by Tween-80 addition and emulsification of filmogenic solutions. In this study, the effect of physical state of fatty acids on the pistachio globulin protein (PGP) edible film prop...

the effect of evaporation rate on structural, morphological and optical properties of electron beam evaporated cds thin films have been investigated. cds thin film deposited by electron beam evaporation method in 12nm/min and 60nm/min evaporation rates on glass substrates. x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, uv-vis-nir spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy were used to character...

this article reports a study of the thermo-oxidation and biodegradation in the soil of low-density polyethylene/starch films (ldpe/starch) by infrared spectroscopy: films of ldpe/starch blends of different composition (starch content range from 0 to 15% w/w),were prepared and exposed to thermo-oxidation at different temperatures at 80, 90 and 100°c,and buried in the soil of public dump during 3...

a bionanocomposite film was developed by nanoclay incorporation to chitosan films, using a solution casting method and the effects of nanoclay concentration (0.5, 1.0, and 3% w/w) on the physical and mechanical properties of the chitosan films were evaluated. moreover, x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy, and fourier transform infrared spectra (ftir) were used for studying mic...

indium tin oxide (ito) thin films were deposited on glass substrates by rf sputtering using an ito ceramic target (in2o3-sno2, 90-10 wt. %). after deposition, samples were annealed at different temperatures in vacuum furnace. the post vacuum annealing effects on the structural, optical and electrical properties of ito films were investigated. polycrystalline ito films have been analyzed in wide...

objective: radiochromic ebt3 film is a later generation of radiochromic films. the aim of this study is to compare ebt and ebt3 radiochromic films in radiotherapy fields of breast cancer. methods: a rando phantom was irradiated by a 6 mv siemens primus linac with medial and lateral fields of radiotherapy of breast cancer. dosimetry was performed in various points in the fields using ebt and ebt...

protein based films used for food packaging despite having numerous benefits like biodegradability and renewability suffer from essential drawbacks of weak mechanical and water vapour barrier properties. in recent years efforts for improving functional properties of such films from various resources, through modifying formulation, molecular crosslinking and promote proteins based composite film...
