1. Efficient Encapsulation and Controlled Release of N,N-Diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (DEET) from Oil-in-Water Emulsions Stabilized by Cationic Nanocellulose and Silica Nanoparticles
Oil-in-water emulsions containing N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (DEET) were developed aiming to extend the sustained release of the active compound, by using two oppositely charged nanomaterials, namely silica nanoparticles (SiNP) and cationic cellulose nanofibrils (CCNF), as stabilizers, and a mixture of food-grade nonionic surfactants to avoid precipitatio

2. HemoTypeSC point-of-care testing shows high sensitivity with alkaline cellulose acetate hemoglobin electrophoresis for screening hemoglobin SS and SC genotypes
ABSTRACT Introduction: By providing timely actionable results for prompt management, point-of-care testing (POCT) kits have revolutionised medical care for various diseases, ranging from infectious diseases like malaria to genetic disorders, such as sickle cell disease (SCD). They are, however, underutilised in the diagnosis of SCD in developing countries,

3. SYNTHESIS OF TOLUENE DIISOCYANATE URETHANE PREPOLYMER USING CASTOR OIL AND EVALUATION OF MECHANICAL PROPERTIES
This research is the synthesis of urethane prepolymer cast elastomer which had been produced using toluene diisocyanate and castor oil to replace the synthetic polyol, from petroleum origin, and the evaluation of mechanical properties of the polyurethane. The focus was to replace polyol from petroleum to vegetable material looking for renewable resources. Th

4. Efficacy of Disinfection of Rigid Endoscope by Ethyl Alcohol 70%
Abstract Introduction Currently, there is no safe, affordable, and ecologically-sustainable guideline that helps prevent contamination through endoscopy. We evaluated the safety of intermediate-level disinfection with 70% ethyl alcohol (w/v) based on biological-load recovery from rigid endoscopes after nasal endoscopy. Objective To demonstrate the efficacy

5. BIODEGRADABLE SODIUM CARBOXYMETHYL CELLULOSE MEMBRANES CONTAINING MELALEUCA ESSENTIAL OILS FOR WOUND CARE MATERIAL
NaCMC is a biocompatible polymer that can be crosslinked with citric acid to form a gel matrix. Melaleuca oils have antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties with potential for wound healing. The goal of this work was to investigate the characteristics of NaCMC-Melaleuca oils gels. The gels were characterized by FTIR, TGA, mechanical analysis, and in vi

6. New Use of an Absorbable Adhesion Barrier (INTERCEED) for Temporary Diverting Ileostomy in Minimally Invasive Rectal Surgery
ABSTRACT Objectives Sometimes, severe adhesion occurs between the rectus abdominis muscle and the ileal intestinal limbs after temporary diverting ileostomy. This can make ileostomy reversal difficult. The aim of the present study is to assess whether absorbable adhesion barrier made of oxidized regenerated cellulose (INTERCEED) could contribute to improved

7. Agroindustry Residues as a Source for Cellulose Nanofibers Production
Our study was motivated by the large amount of crop residues produced in Brazil, which represent underutilized waste biomass and a serious threat to the environment because of the landfilling. For example, even though the corn crop is not popular in Brazil, it is produced in the area of around 18-20 million hectares with an average production of 5-6 t ha-1.

8. Enzymatic efficiency of the decomposing microbiota: what does really matter for aquatic macrophytes invasions?
ABSTRACT Biological invasions have negative impacts on different ecosystem-level functions, such as nutrient cycling. In aquatic environments, exotic litter can change the activity of the decomposer microbiota. We tested whether litter quality, litter decay, and enzyme activity differed between nativeEgeria densaand exoticHydrilla verticillata. The invasive

9. Mucuna pruriens fiber: nutritional, functional and biological properties
Abstract An evaluation was done of the nutritional, functional and antioxidant properties of fiber residues from Mucuna pruriens bean. Nutritional value was quantified in terms of proximate composition, total dietary fiber (TDF), insoluble dietary fiber (IDF), soluble dietary fiber (SDF) and the Van Soest fiber components. Functional value was assayed by mea

10. Properties of Cu-Co Composite Catalysts for Synthesis of Aliphatic Alcohols
Cu-Co-containing cellulose-based carbon composite materials (Cu-Co/Cel) were formed by a matrix isolation method. Using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), infrared-Fourier spectroscopy (IR-Fourier spectroscopy), and non-isothermal research methods, the physicochemical properties of the composites were established. The catalysts

11. USE OF RESIDUES FROM THE CELLULOSE INDUSTRY AND SUGARCANE BAGASSE IN PARTICLEBOARDS
ABSTRACT The use of alternative materials such as lignocellulosic residues in the production of particleboards has increased considering that these residues are produced in large volumes and often do not have an appropriate destination. This research studied the use of residues from cellulose industries, sugarcane bagasse, and castor oil-based polyurethane r

12. EFEITO DO TEOR DE GLICEROL NO TRANSPORTE DE VAPOR D’ÁGUA ATRAVÉS DE FILMES DE TRIACETATO DE CELULOSE PRODUZIDOS A PARTIR DO APROVEITAMENTO DA PALHA DE MILHO (ZEA MAYS L.)
Glycerol is a plasticizer widely used due to its good plasticization efficiency, great availability, biocompatibility and low exudation. It is a renewable raw material that, when introduced in biodegradable films, promotes significant changes in its properties and, thus, guarantees a wide spectrum of application. In this work, corn straw was used to produce
