Cellulose and chitosan with remarkable biocompatibility sophisticated physiochemical characteristics can be a new dawn to the advanced drug nano-carriers in cancer treatment. This study aims synthesize layer-by-layer bionanocomposites from rice straw cellulose encapsulated 5-Fluorouracil (CS-CF/5FU BNCs) using ionic gelation method sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP) cross-linker. Data X-ray Fourier-...

In nature, organic matrix macromolecules play a critical role in enhancing the mechanical properties of biomineralized composites such as bone and teeth. Designing artificial matrix analogues is promising but challenging because relatively little is known about how natural matrix components function. Therefore, in lieu of using natural components, we created biomimetic matrices using geneticall...

Cellulose and starch nanocrystals obtained from the acid hydrolysis of ramie fibers and waxy maize starch granules, respectively, were subjected to isocyanate-mediated reaction to graft polycaprolactone (PCL) chains with various molecular weights on their surface. Grafted nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis and contact angle measurements. We observed that the nanopart...

Abstract Infectious diseases of skin wound–based bacteria are a considerable issue that often hinders the wound closure, thereby delaying healing process. The use dressing based-renewable polymers with natural essential oil could overcome deficiencies wounds. In this work, dressings from carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)/quaternized starch (MS-Q188) in presence antimicrobial cinnamon (CIEO) nanoemu...

In this research, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized in chitosan (Cts), Cts/gelatin and gelatin suspensions using a chemical reducing agent. Cts and gelatin were used as natural stabilizers and solid support, whereas AgNO(3) was used as the silver precursor. Sodium borohydride (NaBH(4)) was used as the reducing agent. The properties of AgNPs in Cts, Cts/gelatin and gelatin bionanocom...

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, ...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to investigate the functions of polymers and size of nanoparticles on the antibacterial activity of silver bionanocomposites (Ag BNCs). In this research, silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were incorporated into biodegradable polymers that are chitosan, gelatin and both polymers via chemical reduction method in solvent in order to produce Ag BNCs. Si...
