The transition to low-carbon emitting technologies provokes an increasing demand in energy conversion and storage systems such as fuel cells, batteries, supercapacitors, consequently, the need for their raw materials. use of new chemistries from earth-abundant precursors instead scarce, toxic, nondegradable components existing current must be a priority future years. Cellulose is most abundant ...

Chitosan, a biocompatible polysaccharide having antimicrobial efficacy, is highly useful for biomedical and other applications. How chitosan properties can be tailored continues to attract intense research interest. Herein, chitosan/carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) materials filled with montmorillonite (MMT) were thermomechanically processed resulting in excellent nanoclay dispersion. Inclusion of...

In the high-Arctic, increased temperature results in permafrost thawing and primary production. This fresh plant-derived material is predicted to prime microbial consortia for degradation of organic matter stored tundra soils. However, effects warming plant input on community structure hardly known. We assessed use glycine, a readily available C N source, cellulose, long C-biopolymer, by prokar...

The process of bacterial transformation results from the introduction specific genetic material into bacteria cells and subsequent gene expression. This technology has significant applications in cloning technology, allows new possibilities for breeding. use cellulose babassu mesocarp to improve was not found literature. Thus, objective this work evaluate effect biopolymers (cellulose biopolyme...

This bibliometric study encompasses all publications between 2000 and 2020 on the production of cellulose-containing food packaging, often proposed as an alternative to petro-based materials. Results show a fast-growing interest in this area, especially during last decade, with 1029 documents published high-impact journals. In topic where countries such Italy, Sweden Spain high scientific per c...

Cellulose and chitin are two of the most abundant biopolymer on earth, have been attracted a lot interest from many researchers, especially related to their nanoparticles form. Recently method extract them into nanoscale materials mostly by mineral or liquid acid hydrolysis, such as sulfuric hydrochloric acid. Despite high yield production, disadvantages produced use hydrolysis catalyst, low th...

PURPOSE To evaluate histologically the integration process of cellulose gel produced by Zoogloea sp when implanted into rabbits' eviscerated eyes. METHODS This experimental study employed 36 eyes of 18 rabbits subjected to evisceration of their right eyes. The sclerocorneal bag was sutured and filled with biopolymer from sugar cane in the gel state. All animals were clinically examined by bio...
