Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleElectrical Studies of Carboxy Methycellulose-Chitosan Blend Biopolymer Doped Dodecyltrimethyl Ammonium Bromide Solid ElectrolytesNur Yasmin Abu Bakar, Nur Hafiza Mr. Muhamaruesa, Nur Ain Bashirah Aniskari, Mohd Ikmar Nizam Mohamad IsaIn this study, a polymer-blend system consist of Carboxy Methylcellulose (CMC)-Chitosan (CS) as blend biopolymer host and doped with various composition of Dodecyltrimethyl Ammonium Bromide (DTAB) were successfully prepared via solution casting techniques. The new system has been analyzed through Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) from temperature 303 K until 393 K to determine the conductivity of biopolymer electrolytes in the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 5 Mar 2015 · 7,649 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBIODEGRADABILITY AND MECHANICAL BEHAVIOUR OF SUGAR PALM STARCH BASED BIOPOLYMERJ. Sahari, S. M. Sapuan, E. S. Zainudin, M. A. MalequeA new Sugar Palm Starch (SPS) based biopolymer was successfully developed using glycerol as plasticizer. The effect of glycerol concentration (viz., 15, 20, 30 and 40 by weight percent) to the mechanical properties of plasticized SPS biopolymer was investigated. From this investigation, it was found that the 30% glycerol concentrated biopolymer showed the highest flexural strength and impact with the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 10 · 10 Nov 2014 · 7,704 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleComparative Study of Properties of Biopolymers from Corn Starch with Addition of Microalgae Spirulina platensisJúllia Koury Abreu, Loraynne Coelho Pereira, José Izaquiel Santos da SilvaThe discovery of the environmental impacts caused by petroleum-based polymers has led to the use of natural polymers gaining more and more space. Naturally occurring polymers, also known as biopolymers, are chemical compounds produced by living things or raw materials from renewable energy sources. Their main advantage is decomposition, while polymers from fossil and non-renewable energies can take hundreds of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 16 Mar 2023 · 6,026 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPotential of Agarose for Biosorption of Cu(II) In Aqueous SystemAnurag Pandey, Debabrata Bera, Anupam Shukla, Lalitagauri RayThe ability of agarose gel as an adsorbent for Cu(II) ions in aqueous solution was studied. The experiments were done as batch processes. Batch kinetics and isotherm studies were carried out under varying experimental conditions of contact time, Cu(II) ion concentration, adsorbent dose, temperature and pH. Adsorption equilibrium of agarose gel was reached within 4 h for agarose gel when … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 6,829 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCuticular Chitin of the Wild Silkworm Saturnia Pyri: A Renewable Source for Applications Across Industrial SectorsZarintaj Shukurova, Yusif Shukurlu, Zarbali Khalilov, Madina SharifovaIn the context of a developing sustainable bioeconomy, the search for renewable sources of biopolymers as alternatives to traditional ones is of crucial importance. In this regard, insect cuticular waste represents a promising yet insufficiently explored raw material for obtaining chitin and chitosan. This study aimed to perform a comparative assessment of the extraction efficiency and quality of chitin and … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 7 Aug 2026 · 947 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDiversity of Cellulolytic Bacteria from the Digestive Tract of Oryctes rhinoceros LarvaeAhmad Faisal Nasution, Erman Munir, Dwi Suryanto et al.Lignocellulose is a ubiquitous biopolymer that, once degraded into monomeric products, could be used to produce a wide range of products. Bioconversion using indigenous microbes could be a solution to the large array of cellulosic waste and it could be sourced from exotic organisms such as Asiatic rhinoceros beetle (Oryctes rhinoceros L). This study aimed to cellulolytic bacteria from the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 23, Issue 4 · 2 Sep 2023 · 4,972 accessesView PDFCite
