The emulsifying ability of OSA-modified and native starch in the granular form, in the dissolved state and a combination of both was compared. This study aims to understand mixed systems of particles and dissolved starch with respect to what species dominates at droplet interfaces and how stability is affected by addition of one of the species to already formed emulsions. It was possible to cre...

The aim of this work was to use cellulose nanocrystals that were obtained by hydrolysis in phosphoric acid solution and further modified with succinic anhydride the microwave field for PLA reinforcement. A series all-bionanocomposites containing unmodified surface CNC content range 1–3 %w.t. melt blending tested XRD, SEM, DSC DMA investigate effect esterification CNCs on structure, morphology, ...

Chemically modified pullulan was evaluated for its sorption efficiency and selectivity to remove cadmium (Cd) from spiked high-hardness groundwater (GW). Pullulan esterified with succinic anhydride using dimethylaminopyridine showed a fairly high degree of substitution value as confirmed by (1)H NMR spectroscopy. Pullulan succinate (Pull-Suc) was converted into the sodium salt (Pull-Suc-Na). Th...

A novel nanoadsorbent for the removal of heavy metal ions is reported. Cotton was first hydrolyzed to obtain cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). CNCs were then chemically modified with succinic anhydride to obtain SCNCs. The sodic nanoadsorbent (NaSCNCs) was further prepared by treatment of SCNCs with saturated NaHCO3 aqueous solution. Batch experiments were carried out with SCNCs and NaSCNCs for th...

Various sensing materials have been demonstrated to increase the precision of technology. Nevertheless, this complicates fabrication process for integration obtain devices that can simultaneously accommodate various gas detectors, like electronic nose. The study here focuses on exploring response different functionalization specific provide an alternative way achieve selective multiple gases. T...
