Chitosan Edible Films Crosslinked by Citric Acid
(University of Waterloo, 2019-08-14)Chitosan offers an exciting potential as a safe, biodegradable material for niche food packaging and coating applications. Barriers to getting this crustacean-derived polysaccharide to the packaging market include poor ... -
Layer-by-layer Self-assembly Membranes for Solvent Dehydration by Pervaporation
(University of Waterloo, 2013-12-09)In this study, polyelectrolyte membranes were prepared by layer-by-layer self-assembly on top of an interfacially polymerized polyamide substrate, and these thin-film-composite membranes were studied for pervaporative ... -
Layer-by-layer self-assembly of nanofilatration membrane for water and wastewater treatment
(University of Waterloo, 2015-04-29)In this study, polyelectrolyte composite membranes were prepared using layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly of chitosan/poly(acrylic acid) (chitosan/PAA) on polyethersulfone (PES) substrates. These thin-film-composite (TFC) ... -
An Overview of the Potential of UV Modification of Polypropylene
(Wiley, 2016-02)UV radiation with a photoinitiator has been utilized to modify polypropylene (PP). Factors affecting solid state photomodification were studied and the optimal processing conditions for formation of three different structures ...
