Characterization of corn cob as a possible raw building material
Usually, the corn cob is considered an agriculture waste. This natural and organic waste material may be used in the industry, in general, and in the building industry, in particular. The work presented in this paper was developed in order to give a contribution to the knowledge of this material, by attempting to describe and assess its macrostructure and microstructure, elementary chemical com...
متن کاملFractionation of Regular Corn Starch: A Comparison of Aqueous Leaching
Starch is an extraordinarily versatile polymer used in a wide array of products from paper to prepared foods. Despite its current wide usage, its potential for additional applications continues to be explored. Unfortunately, new creative developments are hampered, in part, because of a lack of detailed structure and function studies on all but the basic amylose and amylopectin molecules. To bet...
متن کاملTailoring barrier properties of thermoplastic corn starch-based films (TPCS) by means of a multilayer design.
This work compares the effect of adding different biopolyester electrospun coatings made of polycaprolactone (PCL), polylactic acid (PLA) and polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) on oxygen and water vapour barrier properties of a thermoplastic corn starch (TPCS) film. The morphology of the developed multilayer structures was also examined by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Results showed a positive li...
متن کاملExotic Corn Lines with Increased Resistant Starch and Impact on Starch Thermal Characteristics
Cereal Chem. 87(3):190–193 Ten parent corn lines, including four mutants (dull sugary2, amyloseextender sugary2, amylose-extender dull, and an amylose-extender with introgressed Guatemalen germplasm [GUAT ae]) and six lines with introgressed exotic germplasm backgrounds, were crossed with each other to create 20 progeny crosses to increase resistant starch (RS) as a dietary fiber in corn starch...
متن کاملConcrete as a Green Building Material
Concrete is by far the most widely used construction material worldwide. Its huge popularity is the result of a number of well-known advantages, such as low cost, general availability, and wide applicability. But this popularity of concrete also carries with it a great environmental cost. The billions of tons of natural materials mined and processed each year, by their sheer volume, are bound t...
