Poly(glutaric acid-co-glycerol) films were produced by first synthesizing polymer gels from the uncatalyzed polyesterification of glutaric acid and glycerol in toluene. Residual amounts starting materials gel matrices determined gas chromatography (GC) to contain 16.4% 0.2% or 0.6% 15% glycerol, respectively for 2:1 1:2 (glutaric acid:glycerol) molar ratio formulations. The formulation was cured with without incorporation lignocellulosic biomass (sugarcane bagasse) purified plant cell wall...
Abstract Metals and alloys that have the capability of forming passive films provide good corrosion resistance in many environments. Under localized wear-corrosion conditions, however, they undergo...
ABSTRACT Monoglycerides (MGs) have been incorporated into the matrix of poly(glycerol ‐co‐ glutaric acid) films to investigate their effect on thermal, mechanical, and solvent absorption properties resultant films. Solvent studies revealed that acid MG) were able absorb resorb solvents better than films, albeit they had higher erosion levels. Thermogravimetric analysis showed MGs did not affect thermal stability glycerol‐based The MG‐incorporated observed be much softer glycerol) which was...
Exposing an extruded corn snack, biodegradable packing material, carrots, and wood chip cork to relative humidity conditions ranging from 29.5 97.5% changed their moisture content affected the respective internal structures. The snack material specimens evaluated after 24 h, absorbed lost crispness. Carrot were 48 h; carrots moisture, became softer, decreased in hardness 55.02 ± 7.59 23.6 8.6 N, while unchanged. For all products, loss of increased surface roughness. Increasing amplified...
Abstract This study investigated spray wash treatments independently with Citrilow or Cecure for their effects on microbial concentrations and leather quality. Spray washing reduced aerobic mesophilic recovery by 2.42–2.78 log cycles 2.78–2.95 cycles, 3.32–3.72 the belly, butt regions, respectively. After Citrilow, Enterobacteriaceae/related gram‐negative enteric bacilli (ENT/gnEB) counts by, 2.14–2.57 3.06–4.08 4.65–4.99 head, significantly lowered bacterial levels regions 6.00–6.12...
