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 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 abstractPotential Applications of Chitosan Nanoparticles as Novel Support in Enzyme ImmobilizationHoda Jafarizadeh Malmiri, Mohammad Ali Ghaz Jahanian, Aydin BerenjianChitosan is an attractive natural biopolymer from renewable resources with the presence of reactive amino and hydroxyl functional groups in its structure. Due to the good biocompatibility of chitosan, it can be used in magnetic-field assisted drug delivery, enzyme or cell immobilization and many other industrial applications. In the past decade, nanotechnology has been a considerable research interest in the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 25 Dec 2012 · 11,302 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDielectric Properties of Collagen on Plasma Modified Polyvinylidene FluorideR. M. Dahan, S. I. Ismail, Famiza Latif et al.Problem statement: The attachment of biopolymers such as collagen on inert polymeric template created great challenge due to hydrophobic nature of polymeric material. The modification of PVDF for improved adhesion and introduction of specific functionalities have been widely recognized in various industrial applications. Typical methods for modifying polymer surface such as chemical etching and UV irradiation are not favorable as … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 5 · 5 Mar 2012 · 7,986 accessesView PDFCite
