In this study, nanocellulose is isolated from oil palm empty fruit bunches using ultrafine grinding and ultrasonication. Here, nanocellulose, a reinforcing agent, mixed with polyvinyl alcohol sodium alginate, which act as the matrices. Nanocellulose-based fibers are produced via wet spinning method calcium chloride coagulant solvent. The effects of content on morphological, mechanical, in vitro...

In this work, we study and report the phase behavior of mixture lauric acid (LA) stearic (SA) inside polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)–polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) nanofibrous mats woven using electrospinning technique.

A series of new nonionic antimicrobial polymers with a biodegradable polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) backbone grafted indole units and different hydrophobic alkyl or ether groups were synthesized by facile esterification.

Polyvinyl alcohol nanofibers incorporating the wide spectrum antibiotic gentamicin were prepared by Nanospider™ needleless technology. A polyvinyl alcohol layer, serving as a drug reservoir, was covered from both sides by polyurethane layers of various thicknesses. The multilayered structure of the nanofibers was observed using scanning electron microscopy, the porosity was characterized by mer...

The hypotensive effect of intramuscular or intravenous acetazolamide with frequent instillation of 2% or 4% pilocarpine in polyvinyl alcohol, or with single drops of pilocarpine in polyvinyl alcohol or oily vehicles, and the hypotensive effect of topical timolol alone and together with pilocarpine was investigated in the treatment of acute closed-angle glaucoma in 75 patients (81 eyes). The res...

objective(s): this paper describes synthesispolyvinyl alcohol/caf2:er nanofibers because of  its  photoluminescence properties.materials and methods:  first, caf2:er nanocomposite synthesized with co-precipitation method. in order to prepare polyvinyl alcohol (pva)/caf2:er nanofibers, caf2:er nanocomposites were added to the polyvinyl alcohol (pva) polymer. pva/caf2:er composite nanofibers were...
