Experimental data are presented on the enhanced solubilities and micelle/water partition coefficients of 14 polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in solutions of the bile salts sodium taurocholate (TC) and sodium taurodeoxycholate (TDC) below and above the critical micellar concentration (CMC). Solubilities of PCBs in micellar solutions above the CMC depend linearly on bile salt concentration and th...

ABSTRACT. Biopolymers are referred to the bio-degradable polymer that is derived from living organisms in nature or synthesized renewable materials but needs polymerization. There consisting of monomeric units bond together through a covalent obtain large molecules. A biopolymeric blend sodium carboxymethyl cellulose/sodium alginate (Na-CMC/SA) film was prepared by casting/solvent evaporation m...

This study aimed to develop an environmentally friendly silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using banana peel extract as reducing and capping agent. AgNPs obtained were characterized via Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Preservation of blocks coated with sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (Na-CMC) Na-CMC incorporated (Na-CMC + AgNPs) for 5 days also condu...

Fourier transform infrared (FTIR)-attenuated total reflection (ATR) spectroscopy and viscometry were applied to study the micellization of two bile lipids, sodium taurochenodeoxycholate (NaTCDC) and sodium glycocholate (NaGC), in aqueous solutions. The CH2 stretching bands of the bile lipid hydrocarbon region were shifted to higher frequencies suggesting initial critical micellization at 2.5 mM...

Propolis is a resinous product collected by honeybees with complex chemical composition. Sodium carboxymethylcellulose polymer commonly used in wound care. The goal of the present work was to produce and characterize NaCMC membranes loaded extract Brazilian brown propolis (CMC-P). Flavonoids phenolic acids were identified extracts, where main substance kaempferide. extracted active against S. a...

Cellulose fibers were converted into a valuable cellulose derivative, which is easily marketable with additional values. Alkali cellulose and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is the most important cellulose derivatives. Alpha-cellulose was furnished as raw material for production of CMC, which is obtained from short cotton fibers, then purified. Alpha-cellulose is available in the international ma...

PURPOSE A number of researchers have suggested the use of sodium hyaluronate carboxymethyl cellulose (HA-CMC) membrane for preventing postoperative adhesion. This study evaluated the antiadhesive effect and safety of HA-CMC membrane in thyroidectomy for papillary thyroid cancer. METHODS One hundred sixty-two patients who underwent thyroidectomy were prospectively randomized. In the study grou...

As typical periodontopathic bacteria, Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (A. actinomycetemcomitans) were exposed to electrolyzed ion-reduced water (ERI) and ERI containing 1% sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC-Na) (ERI-1% CMC-Na), and the time course of their bactericidal action was evaluated. More than 99% of each bacteria species were killed aft...

We study the influence of different surfactants on NaCl crystallization during evaporation of aqueous salt solutions. We found that at concentrations of sodium chloride close to saturation, only the cationic surfactant CTAB and the nonionic surfactant Tween 80 remain stable. For the nonionic surfactant, the high concentration of salt does not significantly change either the critical micellar co...

Sodium hyaluronate-carboxymethylcellulose (HA/CMC) formulations are gels that effectively reduce postoperative adhesions in both animals and humans, when placed in the peritoneal or pelvic cavities concomitant with surgical manipulation. However, it has been suggested that the use of these products may increase the risk of peritoneal infection after contamination with intestinal contents during...
