Surface tension of viscous biopolymer solutions measured using the du Nouy ring method and the drop weight methods
(Springer-Verlag, 2012-08)The discrepancy of the existing literature data on the surface tension values of biopolymer solutions could be affected by the measurement technique. The aim of the study was to compare the surface tension values of ... -
Synthesis of dual thermoresponsive ABA triblock copolymers by both living cationic vinyl polymerization and RAFT polymerization using a dicarboxylic RAFT agent
(Elsevier Ltd., 2013-02)To elucidate a difference of micelles formed from AB di- and ABA tri-block copolymers, PMOVE-PNIPAM-PMOVE triblock copolymers were synthesized by both living cationic polymerization of MOVE and RAFT polymerization of NIPAM ... -
Taste profiling of Centella Asiatica by a taste sensor
(MYU K.K., 2003)A taste sensor was used for organoleptic profiling and quality evaluation of Centella asiatica extracts and isolates on the basis of basic tastes i.e., sweet, sour, bitter, salty and umami. The sensor uses an array of ... -
Tensile and morphological properties of low density polyethylene/ spear grass composites
(Trans Tech Publications, 2014)The spear grass content on the tensile properties, morphology of low-density polyethylene (LDPE)/spear grass was investigated. The compatibilising effect of epoxidised natural rubber (ENR 50) LDPE and spear grass was mixed ... -
Tensile properties and FTIR analysis of HDPE/soya spent powder in oven aging
(AENSI Publisher All rights reserved, 2013-10)This investigation involves pure HDPE and then HDPE with addition of soya spent powder with different weight percentagesbefore and after exposing in the oven aging. The characteristics of pure HDPE and HDPE/ soya spent ... -
The tensile properties and morphology analysis of recycled mattress filled natural rubber compounds
(AENSI Publisher All rights reserved, 2013-10)The tensile properties and morphology analysis of Recycled Mattress (rMat) filled Standard Malaysian Rubber (SMR L) and Epoxidized Natural Rubber (ENR 50) was successfully studied. The both compounds were prepared by two ... -
Tensile properties LLDPE/soya spent powder blends: Oven aging
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)Linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE)/soya spent powder blends with different blends ratio were prepared by using internal mixer. Soya spent powder was varied from 5 to 40 wt. The thermal degradability was assessed by ... -
Thermal properties of linear-low density polyethylene (LLDPE)/soya spent powder blends with the addition of epoxidised natural rubber
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)Soya spent powder as an inexpensive and renewable source has been used as a filler for linear-low density polyethylene (LLDPE) in this study. Linear-low density polyethylene (LLDPE)/soya spent powder composites were prepared ... -
Thermo-enzymatic hydrolysis of Cassava Starch by α-amylase and amyloglucosidase
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), 2008-03-16)One of the greatest challenges for the 21st century society is to meet the growing demand for energy for transportation in sustainable way. Petroleum based products are in critical state and alternatives for fuel is needed. ... -
Time-based comparative transcriptomics in engineered xylose-utilizing Saccharomyces cerevisiae identifies temperature-responsive genes during ethanol production
(Society for Industrial Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2013-09)Agricultural residues comprising lignocellulosic materials are excellent sources of pentose sugar, which can be converted to ethanol as fuel. Ethanol production via consolidated bioprocessing requires a suitable microorganism ... -
Utilization of agricultural by-products for alpha-amylase production under solid state fermentation by Bacillus subtilis
(Chulalongkorn University, Faculty of Engineering, 2012)The production of alpha-amylase by Bacillus subtilis was investigated under different cultivation conditions on two different solid substrates as the support, i.e. oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) fibers and ...
