Journal ArticleDOI
Chitosan-starch composite film: preparation and characterization.
TL;DR: In this article, a chitosan/starch composite film was used to evaluate the tensile strength (TS), elongation-at-break (E ), and water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) of the composite film.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chitosan/clay nanocomposite film preparation and characterization
TL;DR: In this article, the structural properties, thermal behaviors, and mechanical properties were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetry analyses, and an Instron universal testing machine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis and Characterization of Starch Acetates with High Substitution
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of starch acetates with high degree of substitution (DS) values of 0.57 and 2.23 were prepared and their crystalline structures, chemical structures, thermal stability, and morphological properties were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrospray encapsulation of water-soluble protein with polylactide. Effects of formulations on morphology, encapsulation efficiency and release profile of particles.
Yixiang Xu,Milford A. Hanna +1 more
TL;DR: Bovine serum albumin (BSA)-loaded poly(lactide) (PLA) particles were prepared using an electrospraying technique, in which a sufficiently strong electric field was applied to overcome the surface tension of a droplet.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adding value to carbon dioxide from ethanol fermentations
TL;DR: The potential for exploring some fresh and profitable markets are discussed including carbon sources in chemical industries for the following: enhanced oil recovery; production of chemicals, fuels, and polymers; and production of algae-based biofuels through CO(2) fixation by microalgae.
