Phenolic film engineering for template-mediated microcapsule preparation

Preparation of Copper-loaded Microcapsule Formulations

Hybrid Film Biosensor for Phenolic Compounds Detection

Phenolic compounds are industrial chemicals widely used in the manufacture of products. Most of them are generated artificially and are found in the wastewaters from chemical plants, exhaust gases from incinerators, the side stream smoke from cigarettes. They are easily adsorbed in humans, regardless of their form. High levels of phenols have been shown to have detrimental effects on animal hea...

Preparation and characterization of a bionanopolymer film for walnut packaging

To apply the nanomaterial as a component in the packaging material structure, in this research, the carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film were prepared with three levels of nanoclay particles (0.5, 1 and 3%) using solution casting evaporation method. The incorporation of nanoclay on mechanical, water vapor permeability, and oxygen barrier properties of CMC/PVA-based film wa...

PCR template preparation for capillary DNA sequencing.

Fluorescence-based capillary DNA sequencing has facilitated the early completion of several complex sequencing projects. While capillary systems offer great benefits in terms of ease of use and automation, we find that they are sufficiently different from slab gel separation methodologies, demanding re-examination of the protocols used to generate and use DNA sequencing templates. We have recen...

Preparation and biosorption evaluation of Bacillus subtilis/alginate–chitosan microcapsule

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of alginate-chitosan microcapsule on viability characteristics of Bacillus subtilis and the ability of B. subtilis/alginate-chitosan microcapsule to remove uranium ion from aqueous solution. The effects of particle size, chitosan molecular weight and inoculum density on viability characteristics were studied using alginate-chitosan microcapsule-imm...
