The purpose of the present study was to evaluate carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) coated polypropylene (PP) films containing Zataria multiflora (ZEO) essential oils (4%) as an antimicrobial packaging for chicken breast stored at 4 °C. To increase PP film hydrophilicity, it was treated by atmospheric cold plasma prior to coating by CMC. Then, different films including PP, PP/CMC, PP/CMC containing ...

The present paper reports the graft copolymerization of vinyl sulfonic acid onto sodium carboxymethyl cellulose by free radical polymerization using potassium peroxydiphosphate/thiourea redox system in an inert atmosp...

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) convert biodegradable materials into electricity, potentially contributing to an array of renewable energy production strategies tailored for specific applications. Since there are no known microorganisms that can both metabolize cellulose and transfer electrons to solid extracellular substrates, the conversion of cellulosic biomass to electricity requires a syntroph...

The interactions between polystyrene latex particles and ethyl cellulose (EC) with different functionalization pattern have been investigated. 3-Mono-O-EC and EC with statistical functionalization pattern in the anhydroglucose units were studied in aqueous solutions and dispersions. EC belongs to a group of polymers that phase separate upon heating. The two types of EC showed large differences ...

The present study was done to prepare tablet for captopril (CAP) which used in the treatment of hypertension and heart failure. CAP is mainly absorbed from proximal intestine a lesser extent stomach. tablets were prepared by using polymer carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) drug release system. buffer solutions use at (pH=12,7.4,8.5) as media similitude acidity index stomach, testiness, blood plasma ...

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and benefits of hysteroscopic surgery in the treatment of dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) or intrauterine lesions causing uterine bleeding. Methods: This study prospectively enrolled 100 patients who underwent operative hysteroscopy in tertiary referral university center because of uterine bleeding due to endometria...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of soybean extracts obtained using different extraction methods on the skin of female rats. METHOD A total of 64 female Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 8 equal groups. Various extracts were administered to the female rats by oral gavage for one month. The groups comprised carboxymethyl cellulose-free control, carboxymethyl ...
