This makes them challenging to store and handle but here the NS were stabilized by adding a low concentration of hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC). Importantly, this polymer does not significantly alter ...

hydroxyethyl cellulose [8-13], agar, sodium alginate [3] and guar gum were graft copolymerized to achieve water absorbing polymers. Polyacrylonitrile (PAN), polyacryamide, and poly (acrylic acid) have ...

Researchers at Virginia Tech have found a way to make biodegradable packaging stronger while using less energy in the process ...

Personal care formulators use polymers primarily as film formers, as fixatives in hair care products, and as rheology ...

Twenty-four hours ahead of the freeze, farm workers were up until 3 a.m., spraying trees with a cellulose solution developed at Penn State University. It insulates them, keeping them slightly ...
