The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of some swelling agents with reduced water content on final properties of cotton fabrics. A single-step swelling of cotton in the reagent was used. There were selected properties generally used to characterize mercerized cotton that are technologically important, such as water retention, shrinkage, stiffness, crease recovery angle, and hand. Water retention method and dyeing with CI Direct Red 81 have been used to compare the degree of swelling for different samples. Correlations have been established between structural changes induced by the swelling agents and final properties of cotton fabric. The mixtures of an alkali solution and an additive produced similar or better end-use properties as compared with classical sodium hydroxide or ammonia treatments, combining the action of a diluted alkali solution (3.13 mol/L NaOH or KOH) and a nonalkali reagent. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The classic Langmuir and Freundlich sorption models and a dual-mode approach have been tested to study the sorption of aromatic molecules onto β-cyclodextrin polymers as well as onto analogous sucrose polymers, obtained using the same crosslinking agents (epichlorohydrin, succinyl chloride, toluene diisocyanate, and hexamethylene diisocyanate). The host–guest interaction of the sorbate within the cyclodextrin cavities corresponds to the hole-filling mechanism

This paper reviews the research reported mostly in the last 10 years in the most common journals on the wood-cement composites field. The focused topics include: the problem of the compatibility (or not) between cement and woods, what causes it, ways of overcoming the problem; methods for manufacture and the properties exhibited by common wood-composites; special techniques to accelerate the curing of cement and to improve the properties of wood-cement composites; manufacture of nonwood vegetable raw materials-cement composites; durability against weathering and fungi; and construction materials. A discussion on the state-of-the-art is also presented. Dieser Artikel gibt einen Überblick über die Forschung der letzten 10 Jahre in den bekanntesten Zeitschriften, die über das Gebiet der Holz-Zement-Werkstoffe berichteten. Die konzentrierten Themen beinhalten: Das Problem der Kompatibilität oder Nicht-Kompatibilität zwischen Zement und Holz, was es verursacht und wie man es überwinden kann; Methoden zur Herstellung und die Eigenschaften, die bei üblichen Holz-Werkstoffen gefunden werden; spezielle Techniken, um die Aushärtung von Zement zu beschleunigen und die Eigenschaften von Holz-Zement-Werkstoffen zu verbessern; die Herstellung von Zement-Werkstoffen aus anderen Pflanzenrohmaterialien; Resistenz gegen Witterung und Pilze sowie Konstruktionsmaterialien. Eine Diskussion als Stand der Forschung wird ebenfalls präsentiert.

This work is focused on the preparation of new environmentally friendly hydrogels derived from cellulose and hence originating from renewable resources and characterized by biodegradable properties. Two cellulose derivatives, sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMCNa) and hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC), were used for superabsorbent hydrogel preparation. Citric acid (CA), a crosslinking agent able to overcome toxicity and costs associated with other crosslinking reagents, was selected in a heat activated reaction. Differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and swelling measurements were performed during the reaction progress to investigate the CA reactivity with each of the polymers. Also, CMCNa/HEC polymer mixtures (3/1 w/w) crosslinked with CA were investigated and compared with previous results. Finally, a possible reaction mechanism was proposed. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2008

Hydrogel discs of poly(vinyl alcohol) loaded with glipizide, an oral antidiabetic drug, were prepared with glutaraldehyde (GA) as a crosslinker. Various formulations were prepared with various amounts of polymer, GA, and initial drug. The prepared hydrogel discs were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetric analysis, and X-ray diffractometry. The dynamic swelling behavior and drug-release patterns were dependent on the crosslink density. The hydrogel discs were capable of releasing drug for up to 24 h. The discs that were prepared with a higher concentration of GA released the drug more slowly. The release data were fitted to an empirical equation to determine the transport mechanism, which indicated a non-Fickian trend for drug transport. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
