1. EVALUATION OF POLY(VINYL ALCOHOL) ADDITION EFFECT ON NANOFIBRILLATED CELLULOSE FILMS CHARACTERISTICS
ABSTRACT In this study, based on the mechanical shear treatment, the cellulosic pulp was fibrillated in nanofibrils dispersed in aqueous suspension. Nanofibrillated Cellulose (NFC) matrix - Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) nanocomposite films’ were prepared by casting from NFC/PVA suspension mixtures. The thermal and mechanical properties of the obtained films were

2. Polyurethane/poly (Ionic Liquids) Cellulosic Composites and their Evaluation for Separation of CO2 from Natural Gas
The development of both versatile and inexpensive sorbents for CO2/CH4 separation has become one of the greatest challenges to the environment and natural gas processing. This study reports the preparation and characterization of polyurethane (PU)/ cellulose based poly(ionic liquid)(CPIL) composites for CO2/CH4 separation. PU matrix was reinforced with CPIL

3. THE MULTIROLE OF MODIFIED NATURAL GUMS FOR MULTICOMPONENT POLYMERS: AS COUPLING AGENTS FOR POLYMERS REINFORCED WITH CELLULOSIC FIBERS OR COMPATIBILIZERS FOR BIODEGRADABLE POLYMER BLENDS
In this work, the capability to use pine rosin as a biodegradable coupling agent/compatibilizer is studied. To formulate composites, post-consumer polypropylene and discarded agave fibers (as reinforcing agent) are coupled with pine rosin (in pure or maleated form). Besides, poly(lactic acid) (PLA) with poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) are comp

4. Composites based on low-density polyethylene combined with PETcoated SBS paperboard shavings
ABSTRACT In this study, polymer composites comprised of shavings of SBS paperboard coated with polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and recycled low-density polyethylene (LDPE) were obtained. The tensile properties, flexural strength, impact resistance and water absorption were determined according to the standards published by the American Society for Testing a

5. Comparison of Cellulose Extraction from Sugarcane Bagasse Through Alkali
This article investigated the cellulose obtained from sugarcane bagasse by five different extraction mercerization methods. The comparison of the methods gives a clearer picture of that is more effective and feasible for production of SCB cellulose. All the celluloses were characterised by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR), Thermal

6. Cloning and expression of an endoglucanase gene from the thermotolerant fungus Aspergillus fumigatus DBiNU-1 in Kluyveromyces lactis
Abstract An intronless endoglucanase from thermotolerant Aspergillus fumigatus DBINU-1 was cloned, characterized and expressed in the yeast Kluyveromyces lactis. The full-length open reading frame of the endoglucanase gene from A. fumigatus DBiNU-1, designated Cel7, was 1383 nucleotides in length and encoded a protein of 460 amino acid residues. The predicte

7. Production of Furan Compounds from Sugarcane Bagasse Using a Catalytic System Containing ZnCl2/HCl or AlCl3/HCl in a Biphasic System
In this work, two catalytic systems combining Lewis and Brønsted acids (ZnCl2/HCl and AlCl3/HCl) were applied in a tetrahydrofuran (THF)/NaClaq biphasic system to produce furan compounds from plant polysaccharides. The following cellulosic matrices were applied for this purpose: α-cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose and both native and steam-exploded sug

8. The isolation of pentose-assimilating yeasts and their xylose fermentation potential
ABSTRACT For the implementation of cellulosic ethanol technology, the maximum use of lignocellulosic materials is important to increase efficiency and to reduce costs. In this context, appropriate use of the pentose released by hemicellulose hydrolysis could improve de economic viability of this process. Since the Saccharomyces cerevisiae is unable to fermen

9. A new material to prevent urethral damage after implantation of artificial devices: an experimental study
ABSTRACT Objective To validate the application of the bacterial cellulose (BC) membrane as a protecting barrier to the urethra. Materials and Methods Forty female Wistar rats (four groups of 10): Group 1 (sham), the urethra was dissected as in previous groups and nothing applied around; Group 2, received a 0.7cm strip of the BC applied around the urethra

10. Nanocellulose Produced from Rice Hulls and its Effect on the Properties of Biodegradable Starch Films
Rice hull is a residue from agro-industry that can be used to produce nanocellulose. We produced nanocellulose from rice hulls through bleaching (with a 5% NaOH solution followed by a peracetic acid solution) and acid hydrolysis at a mild temperature (45ºC) followed by ultrasonication. We investigated the microstructure, crystallinity and thermal stability

11. Experimental use of a cellulosic biopolymer as a new material for suburethral sling in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence
Purpose: To analyze the interaction between the cellulose exopolysaccharide (CEC) and urethral tissue when used as a pubovaginal sling. Materials and Methods: Forty Wistar rats were divided into four groups. In groups A and B the cellulose exopolysaccharide (CEC) was implanted around the urethral tissue (bladder neck below the upper margin) and the rats we

12. ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF NANOFIBRILLATED CELLULOSE FROM OAT HULLS
The objectives of this work were to investigate the microstructure, crystallinity and thermal stability of nanofibrillated cellulose obtained from oat hulls using bleaching and acid hydrolysis at a mild temperature (45 ºC) followed by ultrasonication. The oat hulls were bleached with peracetic acid, and after bleaching, the compact structure around the cell
