Starch-based completely biodegradable polymer materials
Starch is a natural polymer which possesses many unique properties and some shortcoming simultaneously. Some synthetic polymers are biodegradable and can be tailor-made easily. Therefore, by combining the individual advantages of starch and synthetic polymers, starch-based completely biodegradable polymers (SCBP) are potential for applications in biomedical and environmental fields. Therefore i...
متن کاملBiodegradable Polyphosphazene Based Peptide-Polymer Hybrids
A novel series of peptide based hybrid polymers designed to undergo enzymatic degradation is presented, via macrosubstitution of a polyphosphazene backbone with the tetrapeptide Gly-Phe-Leu-Gly. Further co-substitution of the hybrid polymers with hydrophilic polyalkylene oxide Jeffamine M-1000 leads to water soluble and biodegradable hybrid polymers. Detailed degradation studies, via 31P NMR sp...
متن کاملBiodegradable polylactic acid polymer with nisin for use in antimicrobial food packaging.
Biodegradable polylactic acid (PLA) polymer was evaluated for its application as a material for antimicrobial food packaging. PLA films were incorporated with nisin to for control of foodborne pathogens. Antimicrobial activity of PLA/nisin films against Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli O157:H7, and Salmonella Enteritidis were evaluated in culture media and liquid foods (orange juice and...
متن کاملZinc and Zinc Compounds
Zinc is an essential element in people’s diet. Too little zinc can cause health problems, but too much zinc is harmful. The U.S. Recommended Dietary Allowance (U.S. RDA) for zinc is 5 15 milligrams a day for humans. Not enough zinc in one’s diet can result in a loss of appetite, a decreased sense of taste and smell, slow wound healing and skin sores, or a damaged immune system. Young men who do...
متن کاملStudy on the Antimicrobial Properties of Citrate-Based Biodegradable Polymers
Citrate-based polymers possess unique advantages for various biomedical applications since citric acid is a natural metabolism product, which is biocompatible and antimicrobial. In polymer synthesis, citric acid also provides multiple functional groups to control the crosslinking of polymers and active binding sites for further conjugation of biomolecules. Our group recently developed a number ...
