High-potential nanomaterials were derived from rice straw using the integrated biobased processes of enzymatic hydrolysis with green organic acid assisted ultrasonication pretreatment. The optimization condition nanocellulose preparation by via central composite design (CCD) achieved a maximum content 32.37 ± 0.47% cellulase concentration 107.06 U/mL and 0.13% (w/w) cellulose. ultrasonication-a...

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) have attracted significant interest in different industrial sectors. Many applications been developed and more are being explored. Pre-treatment of the suspension plays a critical role for applications. In this study, pre-treatment methods, including homogenization, ultrasonication, mixing with magnetic stirrer were applied to CNC suspension. After treatment, rheol...

The main goal of this research was to compare the in vitro release rates of nano- and microcapsules of Silybum marianum extract (SME) in animal simulated gastric and intestinal medium conditions. The extract was encapsulated within sodium alginate carriers using emulsification/internal gelation method. Particle size, zeta potential, polydispersity index (PDI) and morphology of...

Even though ultrasonication is considered to be an effective method disperse carbon nanotubes (CNTs), its devastating effects on the are often neglected. Here, even mild found rapidly extract inner single-wall CNTs (SWCNTs) from outer shells of double-wall (DWCNTs). As-synthesized DWCNTs gently solubilized in a surfactant solution, strictly avoiding any ultrasonication, followed by two consecut...

We demonstrate here the utilization of ultrasonication during template-assisted electrodeposition to synthesize high quality one-dimensional nanostructures. Copper sulfide nanorods were synthesized “sonoelectrochemically” to achieve single-crystal nanorods with predominantly single stoichiometric composition (1.0:1.0 Cu:S). Structural characterization by HRTEM, SAD, EDS reveals that nanorods ha...

Create three-dimensional network of siloxane polymer in the epoxy resin is an appropriate mechanical properties .Dispersion of nanoclay in these coating was prepared by ultrasonication method. Mechanical properties of nanocomposit coatings such as abrasion, hardness and adhesion was increased by addition of nanoclay montmorillonite. Different percentages of nanoclay in coating showed that even ...
