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 ...

To explore the potential role of polymers in the development of drug-delivery systems, this study investigated the use of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), acrylic acid (AA) and N' N'-methylenebis-acrylamide (MBA) in the synthesis of hydrogels for controlled drug delivery of acyclovir (ACV). Different proportions of β-CD, CMC, AA and MBA were blended with each other to fabri...

In the present study, chitosan/carboxymethyl cellulose/silica hybrid membrane (CS/CMC/Silica) was prepared by using chitosan and carboxymethyl cellulose in the presence of 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTMS) as the crosslinking agent and used to remove Cr(VI) iron in effluent. The structure of CS/CMC/Silica hybrid membrane was characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy and scanning electron micr...

Silver nanoparticles stabilized in sodium-carboxymethyl cellulose (Na-CMC) solution with degree of substitution 0,65-0.85 and polymerization 200-600 were synthesized. The structure, physico-chemical, mechanical properties bactericidal activity films obtained from solutions Na-CMC containing silver studied. shape size structure determined using atomic force microscopy UV - spectroscopy. It is es...

This thesis project aimed to fractionate cornstalk into cellulose and lignin, and utilize the crude cornstalk-derived cellulose for the production of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and the lignin for the sybthesis of bio-based phenol-formaldehyde resole resins as wood adhesives. In this thesis work, cornstalk was efficiently fractionated into crude cellulose and crude lignin in mixed solvents o...

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...

Positively-charged ε-poly(L-lysine) (ε-PL) and negatively-charged carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) were alternately deposited on a cellulose paper surface by the layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly technique. The formation of ε-PL/CMC multilayers was confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR), and zeta potential measurement. The morphologies of the mul...

Objective: To evaluate the antimicrobial properties and dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) cytotoxicity of synthesized carboxymethyl cellulose-silver nanoparticles impregnated on titanium plates. Material and methods: The antibacterial effect of silver nanoparticles in a carboxymethyl cellulose matrix impregnated on titanium plates (Ti-AgNPs) in three concentrations: 16%, 50% and 100% was determine...

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...
