ABSTRACT Sterculia gum is a complex polysaccharide of high molecular weight. The rapid swelling of gum particles, their relative insolubility and their unusual resistance to bacterial and enzymatic breakdown make this gum suitable as a bulk laxative. The present work deals with development of granular formulation using Sterculia gum and its evaluation. The evaluation includes size gradation usi...

Cellulose nanofibers are one class of natural fibers that have resulted in structures with remarkable mechanical properties. In this study, the cellulose nanofibers are used as reinforcements in the forms of layered films in a bio-derived resin. Assessment of swelling behavior is performed together with an assessment of the tension and fracture behavior. Crack resistance behavior is compared to...

Abstract
 This study aims to determine the effect of concentration stearic acid and cellulose from tapioca processing solid waste on characteristics foam biocomposite glucomannan optimal so as produce best biocomposite. used a randomized block design with two factors. Factor I is which consists 3 levels (2% ; 4% 6%). II maleic anhydride (2.5%; 5%; 7.5%). The variables observed were tensile...

Abstract This paper reports the results of effects oleamide addition on hardness, as one mechanical behaviours, styrene butadiene rubber/silica (SBR/silica) composite. The base SBR was compounded with silica, a reinforcing filler, and others compounding chemicals. silica into rubber matrix at 30 phr chemicals were added based semi-efficient formulation. has been done using opened two-roll mills...

This paper considers the possibilities of increasing radiation resistance to helium swelling beryllium oxide ceramics due preliminary irradiation with heavy ions. Interest in this topic is possibility using these as materials for inert matrices nuclear fuel and structural reflectors high-temperature reactors. The samples studied were irradiated two stages, namely Ar8+, Kr15+, Xe22+ ions a fluen...

The world eagerly needs cleanly-generated electricity in the future. Fusion reactor is one of the most ideal energy resources to defeat the environmental degradation caused by the consumption of traditional fossil energy. To meet the design requirements of fusion reactor, the development of the structural materials which can sustain the elevated temperature, high helium concentration and extrem...

The key aim of this paper is to study the presence effect LiO impurity phases in Li2ZrO3 ceramics on resistance helium swelling and structural degradation during implanted accumulation near-surface layer structure. hypothesis put forward based a number scientific papers, which it was reported that two or more lithium-containing led decrease rate radiation damage gas due additional interfacial b...

A 2 Year old boy presented with painful ballooning of both eyes with the 2 days history of trauma to the head while playing. His vaccination was complete. On examination he was afebrile. The Eyes were ballooned with blackish crust over both lids. On local examination, eye swelling was tense with severe tenderness. The diagnosis of Preseptal cellulitis was made .We did an Emergency drainage and ...
