Enzyme-catalyzed gel formation of gelatin and chitosan: potential for in situ applications

TL;DR: It was observed that the transglutaminase-catalyzed gelatin-chitosan gels lost the ability to undergo thermally reversible transitions characteristic of gelatin, which suggests that gelatin's ability to undergoing a collagen-like coil-to-helix transition is unaffected by tyrosinase- catalyzed reactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

A fundamental study of chitosan/PEO electrospinning

TL;DR: In this paper, a highly deacetylated (97.5%) chitosan in 50% acetic acid was electrospun at moderate temperatures (25-70°C) in the presence of a low content of polyethylene oxide (10 wt% PEO) to beadless nanofibers of 60-80nm in diameter.

Friction factors for pipe flow of xanthan-based concentrates of fire fighting foams

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a friction factor correlation to predict the pressure drop during pumping and induction of concentrates of fire fighting foams containing around 1% of xanthan gum.
Journal ArticleDOI

A short review on rubber/clay nanocomposites with emphasis on mechanical properties

TL;DR: In this paper, the preparation of rubber/clay nanocomposites by solution blending, latex compounding, and melt intercalation are covered and a thorough discussion of the mechanical properties of the various rubber and clay nanocompositionite systems is presented.

Shear stress analysis of a semiconducting polymer based electrorheological fluid system

TL;DR: In this article, the electrorheological characteristics of a fluid system with semiconducting poly(naphthalene quinone) (PNQR) particles, synthesized from a Friedel-Craft acylation, were investigated via a rotational rheometer equipped with a high voltage generator.
