Nanocellulose contains a large number of hydroxyl groups that can be used to modify its surface due structure. Owing appealing features, such as high strength, great stiffness, and area, nanocellulose is currently gaining popularity in research industry. The extraction from the leftover bagasse fiber sugarcane production by alkaline acid treatment was successful this study, with yield 55.6%. FTIR XPS results demonstrated difference functional chemical composition untreated extracted...

The plastic waste problem has recently attracted unprecedented attention globally. To reduce the adverse eff ects on environments, biodegradable polymers have been studied to solve problems. Poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) is one of common plastics used its own or blended with natural because excellent properties after blending. However, PCL and are difficult blend due polymers' properties. Grafted polymerization maleic anhydride dibenzoyl peroxide (DBPO) improvements for blending immiscible...
This study aimed to prepare anti-Staphylococcus aureus inclusion complexes (ICs) of Hinoki essential oil (HEO) with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (2-HP-β-CD). An ultrasound-assisted kneading method was applied for the complexation first time. The recovery yield, embedding fraction loading capacity HEO/β-CD ICs were 92.5%, 78.0% 11.9%, respectively, while corresponding values 80.8%, 73.7% 12.9% HEO/2-HP-β-CD ICs. As well, a comparative confirmed efficiency higher...
Abstract Plastic waste is a global issue because it causes overflowing landfills and pollution, leading to environmental concerns. To address this crisis, materials that can be decomposed in the natural environment are introduced replace conventional plastics. Poly‐ ɛ ‐caprolactone (PCL) commonly used plastic degrade environments. However, owing its hydrophobicity, decomposition rate low. In study, PCL modified with maleic anhydride (MA) (PCL‐ g ‐MA) increase hydrophilicity amorphous region...
Self-cooling material usually uses synthetic or employ harmfull chemicals. Nanocellulose from bacterial culture composited with CaCO3 and ZnO is proposed to overcome the limitation. Bacterial nanocellulose was prepared via kombucha fermentation. Obtained bleached using H2O2 remove impurities. The exhibited a nanofiber shape cellulose I crystalline structure crystallinity of 44.3%. fiber diameter approximately 92.51±21.46 nm. Bleached had higher content than unbleached nanocellulose....
Plastic waste has become a reality as major global risk to the environment due lack of disposal facilities. Furthermore, CO2 continues be generated throughout plastic production and processes, damaging greenhouse gas. To address these environmental problems from standpoint environmentally friendly materials, concept biodegradable polymer composite is proposed in this research. Cellulosic pulp fibers polycaprolactone(PCL)are both can applied create plastic-pulp fiber composite. In addition,...
<title>Abstract</title> Bioplastics were produced by mixing starch with carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) during the manufacturing process. The physical characteristics of bioplastics investigated using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron (XPS), diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Tensile strength, elongation, Young's modulus tests utilized to assess mechanical bioplastics. bioplastic highest tensile...
