Carboxymethyl Cellulose-Based Spray-Dried Microspheres: Recent Advances and Applications in Targeted Drug Delivery Systems
Abstract: Microspheres are spherical particles ranging from 1 to 1000 μm, made from natural or synthetic polymers and inorganic materials. Their structure allows precise drug delivery, improving targeted release and minimizing off-target effects. Natural polymers such as starch, chitosan, and alginate are favored for their biodegradability, adhesion, and compatibility, enhancing mucosal interaction and residence time. Microspheres are widely used in site-specific drug delivery, gene therapy, and vaccine administration, improving immunogenicity, extending …

Analysis of the Intrinsic Viscosity Behavior in Polymer Mixtures of Stud Plant Mucilage (Dicerocaryum zanguebarium) with Carboxymethyl Cellulose and Guar Gum: Synergism at Infinite Dilution
Abstract: Compatibility studies of the stud plant mucilage (SpM) with guar gum (GG) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) were elucidated using the following parameters: viscous synergy ( ), interaction index ( ) and enhancement index ( . These parameters were derived from the intrinsic viscosity ( ) obtained from the binary system of SpM–CMC and SpM–GG, measured at 0.05 g/dl. The effects of salt (NaCl) on the binary systems were also investigated …

Development of Nanoparticles as Additive to Drilling Mud to be Used as Viscosity and Filtrate Loss Modifier
Abstract: Conventional drilling fluids are often unable to fulfill certain functional tasks that are very important in challenging environment. This inefficiency of drilling fluid in performing certain task is mainly because of lack in particular rheological or filtrate loss properties. Hence, the industry is looking for a new kind of additives which can be helpful in maintaining these properties in desired range even under extreme conditions. Rice husk is an abundantly …

All Climates Carboxymethyl Cellulase from Psychrophilic Fungus Truncatella angustata
Abstract: The aim of this research was to screen the activity of carboxymethyl cellulase (CMCase) in laboratory stocks of psychrotrophic fungi (Penicillium canescens BPF4, Truncatella angustata BPF5 and Pseudogymnoascus roseus BPF6). Of the three fungal species, the psychrotrophic fungus T. angustata showed maximum CMCase activity under cold temperatures. The maximum CMCase activity from T. angustata was found at 40°C, a residual activity of 60 % at 4°C, 90% at 10°C, 75% …

CMC/SWCNT Nanocomposites for Sustainable Smart Metering Sensors: Percolation-Driven Structure–Property Optimization, Experimental Validation, and Literature Benchmarking
Abstract: Biodegradable sensing materials are needed for sustainable smart electricity metering, yet cellulose/single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) systems lack a unified percolation and structure–property description. This study develops carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)/SWCNT nanocomposite films by solution casting, with SWCNT loadings of 0.0–5.0 wt%, and evaluates their electrical, mechanical, thermal, sensing, and biodegradation behavior. Percolation analysis of the insulator-to-conductor transition gave a critical threshold (φc) of 0.9 ± 0.1 wt% and a critical exponent …

Bioscouring And Anionization of Waste Cotton Fabric for Efficient Removal of Malachite Green Dye
Abstract: Adsorption is an efficient method for dye removal but the high cost of adsorbents limits its use, emphasizing the need for sustainable, low-cost alternatives. This study explores the usage of modified cotton fabric for the treatment of malachite green (cationic dye) from wastewater. Cellulase extracted from Raphanus sativus and Daucus carota were evaluated for bioscouring potential which was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy. Further, cotton fabric was chemically modified using …

Comparative Analysis of Polymer-Enhanced and Conventional Magnetorheological Fluids in E-Bicycle Semi-Active Suspension
Abstract: In light of the increased use of electric bicycles as a sustainable transport means, various mechanical challenges emerge which were absent in traditional bicycles, primarily concerning vibration isolation and riding comfort. Indeed, hub motors, batteries and the entire drivetrain system produce dynamic excitations which passive suspension cannot handle effectively. This paper presents a comparison of conventional magnetorheological (MR) fluid and the polymer-based MR nanocomposite fluid within the context of semi-active …

Development of an Environmentally Friendly Bioplastic Film Derived from Water Hyacinth
Abstract: The water hyacinth, an invasive aquatic plant negatively impacting ecosystems, serves as a promising source for raw materials in the production of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC)-based bioplastics due to its high cellulose concentration. This initiative not only mitigates water hyacinth pollution in natural water resources but also contributes to the reduction of plastic waste through the creation of biodegradable CMC bioplastic films. The cellulose extraction from water hyacinth precedes the synthesis of …
