Recent Advances in Food-Packing, Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Applications of Zein and Zein-Based Materials

TL;DR: The biodegradability and biocompatibility of zein and other inherent properties associated with zein’s structure allow a myriad of applications of such materials with great potential in the near future.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of PNIPAAm photografted on PET and PS surfaces

TL;DR: In this paper, virgin or oxidized films of PET and PS were submitted to surface modification by grafting of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) or PNIPAAm.
Journal ArticleDOI

Study of the reaction of grafting acrylamide onto xanthan gum

TL;DR: It is found that reaction time was inversely proportional to intrinsic viscosity, likely due to main chain degradation promoted by potassium persulfate (KPS); furthermore, the increasing in the KPS concentration lowers grafting percentage, acrylamide conversion and chain degradation, possibly as a result of O(2) formation at high KPS concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chemical Kinetic Model and Thermodynamic Compensation Effect of Alkaline Hydrolysis of Waste Poly(ethylene terephthalate) in Nonaqueous Ethylene Glycol Solution

TL;DR: In this article, the depolymerization of waste poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PETW) flakes from bottles was investigated using a nonaqueous NaOH in ethylene glycol solution and was carried out at patm from 150 to 185 °C, using a NaOH:PET molar ratio of 4:1.
Journal ArticleDOI

Surface modification of polystyrene and poly(ethylene terephtalate) by grafting poly(N-isopropylacrylamide).

TL;DR: Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) was incorporated into previously oxidized PS and PET surfaces by grafting using two photo-initiation pathways and it was verified that the grafting process depends on the chemical surface environment.
