Although poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is among widely used biodegradable polymers, it has limited applications due to its inherent brittleness, low elongation at break and toughness. Blending with natural rubber (NR) and epoxidised natural... more
Polymers are the most important materials we use in many areas of daily life. Without them humanity could not shape today's world. However, major source of polymeric material is fossil fuels which decrease constantly. Therefore,... more
BACKGROUND: Conventional techniques used for determination of extractable poly(hydroxyalkanoate)s (PHAs) present in the cells, are laborious and destructive. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is an indirect analytical method... more
This review focuses on tremendous benefits of nanotechnology in food industry in terms of food processing, packaging, safety and quality control. Nanotechnology can modify permeability of packaging material, increasing barrier properties,... more
"In this article, modified -carrageenan hydrogel nanocomposites were synthesized to increase the release ability of carrageenan hydrogels under gastrointestinal conditions. The effect of MgO nanoparticle loading in a model drug... more
Exopolysaccharides (EPSs), which are secreted by microorganisms are natural, nontoxic, biocompatible and biodegradable polysaccharides. Chemical modifications of exopolysaccharides, such as phosphorylation, sulfation, oxidation,... more
Soil-based construction materials are of interest as structural building materials due to their green credentials, as well as being present in many historical structures. For effective conservation of the latter, and to motivate greater... more

The development of biobased polyurethane foam (PUF) from renewable resources of polyol against traditional PUF has attracted many researchers and investors. The reduction or elimination of petrochemical material has had an increased... more
Novel nanocomposite adsorbent materials were synthesized by condensation polymerization of TEOS in the presence of saponified guar-graft-poly(acrylonitrile) (SG) as template. The effect of changing the molecular size of SG on the final... more
Context: Chitosan has received attention as a functional, sustainably renewable, nontoxic and biodegradable biopolymer for pharmaceutical applications such as healing agent. Aims: To design a semisolid pharmaceutical form (ointment),... more
In this paper various methods for calculation of gross and net heat of combustion for different biopolymers (lignin, cellulose, hemicelluloses, starch, pectin, proteins, lipids etc.) have been analyzed. The results showed that the... more
Many wounds are unresponsive to current available treatment techniques and therefore there is an immense need to explore suitable materials including biomaterials, which are being considered as the crucial factor to accelerate the healing... more
This research introduces a novel biopolvmer that can be used ft.r enhanced oil recoven’ (EOR) applications. Starch biopol viner was prothiced from potato peels (a iiieans of Wining waste to wealth as well as a viable alternative approach... more
Plastic is one of the most consumable and useful material of modern times and its growing demand and consumption is not easy to check. But, the only hurdle in its prolonged use is its low rate of degradation in environment after being... more
Plants gums are complex mixtures of different polysaccharides with a variety of biological activities and pharmaceutical applications. Few studies have focused on physicochemical and biological properties of gums obtained from different... more

Abstract: The hyaluronate molecule is a negatively charged polysaccharide that performs a plethora of physiological functions in many cell tissues depending on its conformation. In the present paper, molecular modeling at three levels of... more
Sugar cane molasses was found to be very effective for bacterial cellulose production. The components of sugar cane molasses, such as sucrose, fructose, glucose, nitrogenous compounds, non-nitrogenous acids, nucleic acids, vitamins, other... more
The potential of Bacillus subtilis isolated from locust beans to degrade crude oil was assessed. The microorganism exhibited a very high degradation capability towards crude oil. Gas Chromatograph attached to a Flame Ion Detector (GC-FID)... more
— Upto date, many experiments have been carried out successfully in producing and using essential oil-treated biodegradable polylactid acid (PLA), but the examinations revealed. That essential oils, theoretically consisting the same... more
Abstract: Context: Chitosan has received great attention because it is a functional, biodegradable, renewable and non-toxic biopolymer with multiple pharmaceutical applications, including stabilizing agent. Aims: To evaluate the physical... more
A palm oil-based medium-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoate (mcl-PHA) was allowed to react with epoxidized natural rubber (ENR). There was no noticeable reaction at ambient temperature for short reaction times. However, after 30 min at... more
Polysaccharide alginate gel beads have been used as a template for photochemical growth of monometallic and bimetallic Au and Ag manoclusters. The gel served both as a reductant under photoirradiation and as a stabilizer. Fourier... more
PP-50, a synthetic pH-responsive biopolymer, is here shown to increase the permeability of the phospholipid bilayer to trehalose, a disaccharide accumulated in desiccation tolerant organisms across all kingdoms. Uptake of 251 ± 6 mm... more
