    clear complexes of helixes or entanglement may indicate the defect of the network and produced the exothermic peak in DSC result. A study on fabrication of nano fiber from alginate (Nie et al. (2008) found that the entanglement may increase the flexibility of chains of alginates. This flexibility may promote the swelling capability of the non-crosslink sample. The AFM analysis measured the average Young’s modulus of 2344.17 MPa for the non-crosslinked film and 2314 MPa for the crosslinked film as shown in Table 2. The deviation in the measured Young’s modulus may be due to the different thickness of film as solidification process occurred during film casting. Using Equation 1 (Zhu & Wool, 2011), the crosslink density calculated for the cross-linked film was 0.934 mol/cm3. This value is lower compared to the crosslinking density calculated by Sarika et al. (2014). They obtained the crosslink density of 2.51 mol/cm3 for the scaffold made of gelatine and gum Arabic aldehyde. Elsewhere, Zhu and Wool (2011) calculated the crosslink density in nanoclay-filled elastomers to be around 20-40 mol/cm3. This may suggest that vanillin used as a crosslinker has promoted the physical crosslink between vanillin and semi-refined carrageenan. This then promoted the disintegration properties, which is in agreement with the results of XRD, TGA and DSC. Conclusion The addition of vanillin as a crosslinker shows a positive indication to improve the ability of film to disintegrate, which is…

    Medical devices function to save and improve the lives of humans across the globe. Sadly, some devices turn out to be defective, leading to new health issues and possibly even death. This occurs when a faulty design prohibits the device from working as intended or when one or more parts of the product are contaminated during manufacturing. As a result of the defect, the patient may find they need to undergo further treatment, often in the form of surgery, and some die as a result of the product…

    recycling, but in many cases, not all of the materials can be recycled (Marsh & Bugusu, 2007, n.p.g.). For example, some materials, especially plastic food containers, are contaminated with oil and grease, which make them unsuitable or hard for recycling (“Identify recyclables”, n.d., n.p.g.). To give a better view about recyclables, the materials’ statuses for recycling are outlined as follows. • Papers & paperboards Sometimes, it is difficult to identify the recycling status of papers in the…

    QUESTION: Give the Preparation, Properties and Applications of any four POLYMERS 1. Polyethenics ( Vinyl Resins) They are obtained by the polymerization of monomers containing the ethylenic bond (-C=C-) I. Polyethylene ( PE ) Polyethylene is one of the simplest and most inexpensive polymers. It is a waxy, chemical inert plastic. It a thermoplastic formed by the addition polymerization of ethylene. There are two types of polyethylene  Low Density polyethylene (LDPE) By using free radical…

    vulgaris as it accounts for over 90% of all Ichthyosis cases and then there is X-linked Ichthyosis, which is the least common type of Ichthyosis with there being only one in every 6,000 births in males (Panthagani). X-linked Ichthyosis was chosen as the area of interest, it is a recessive disease in which only males get the disease and females are carriers for the disease. The gene that causes Ichthyosis is X-linked, which means it is a disease passed down from a mother to her child. The gene…

    remember the story of the crucifixion and how it made them feel. The emphasis is on the cross and the loyalty is gives to Christ. To connect with his audience, the narrator breaks his dream into three parts. To get the full effect, we must remember how the story of the crucifixion made us feel. Dream of the Rood is similar to Christian George Stevens’ The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965) because both show commitment to the cross. The GSET takes the most time on the scene of the crucifixion,…

    Oram examined the role of the press in creating a commercial product out of the cross-dressers and shaping ‘a shared lexicon for the public discourse of sex and scandal’. She finds the articles often carried humorous tone throughout, downplaying the idea that these women were in any way seriously challenging masculinity in public spaces. This comes across clearly in the terminology used, as females ' cross-dressing was most often referred to as a ‘masquerade’, implying it to be more of a…
