Biodegradable plastic is made by mixing from temu ireng rhizomes starch matrix, sorbitol as a plasticizer, and chitosan filler through the melt intercalation method. heating process at 800C drying 70oC. The results show that addition of has an effect on characteristics plastic. best tensile strength biodegradable with mass composition starch: 5:5 gram without 4.03 MPa. percentage elongation in ...

Composite filaments based on acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) consisting of cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) were prepared by melt intercalation using a single screw extruder. The effect CNC loading levels (0-4 wt%) the tensile properties and water absorption behavior was investigated in this work. Results indicated that composite exhibited rougher surfaces non-uniform diameters than neat ABS f...

Abstract The melt-blown nonwoven material is an important raw for mask production, which has attracted much attention. There are many technological parameters the preparation of intercalated nonwovens, and there interactive effects among parameters, more complicated after intercalation airflow. In order to better study regulation mechanism product performance, our team established a mathematica...

Intercalation of naphthalene and anthracene into alkyltrimethylammonium (C, H2. + ~ (CH3)3N+; n = 8, 12, 14, 16, and 18)-montmorillonites was carried out by novel solid-solid reactions at room temperature. Octyltrimethylammoniurn(C8)-montmorillonite did not form an intercalation compound with either naphthalene or anthracene. Naphthalene was intercalated into both dodecyltrimethylammonium(C12)a...

BACKGROUND Metalloporphyrin ions, with planar shape, have been known to intercalate horizontally and diagonally between montmorillonite layers. Perpendicular intercalation inside montmorillonite has not been reported earlier. This work aims at achieving perpendicular intercalation inside montmorillonite in natural clays. Possible intercalation inside other forms of natural clay will also be inv...

Daunomycin is one of the most important agents used in anticancer chemotherapy. It interacts with DNA through intercalation of its planar chromophore between successive base pairs. The effect of intercalation on structure, dynamics and energetics is the topic of a wealth of scientific studies. In the present study, we report a computational examination of the energetics of the intercalation pro...

Interaction of intercalators: ethidium bromide (EtBr), methylene blue (MB) and acridine orange (AO), with DNA at 0.02 M ionic strength of the solution has been studied by differential spectroscopy method. It was revealed that EtBr binds to DNA by intercalation, semi-intercalation and electrostatic modes; MB by semiintercalation and electrostatic modes and AO by intercalation and electrostatic m...

Properties of many layered materials, including copper- and iron-based superconductors, topological insulators, graphite and epitaxial graphene, can be manipulated by the inclusion of different atomic and molecular species between the layers via a process known as intercalation. For example, intercalation in graphite can lead to superconductivity and is crucial in the working cycle of modern ba...

In directional drilling, the most important thing that leads to pulling out the drill string is end of mud motor working life. Considering the working conditions of down hole mud motors; increasing the mechanical properties of their stator’s elastomer is crucial. Some attempts were done to increase the motor performance through geometrical changes but lack of material improvement is significant...

Many anticancer drugs in clinical use interact with DNA through intercalation, which is process that starts with the transfer of the intercalating molecule from an aqueous environment to the hydrophobic space between two adjacent DNA base pairs. In general, intercalatig agents are two types: monofunctional and bifunctional. Monofunctional intercalators contain one intercalating unit and Bifunct...
