1. The effect of additives interaction on the miscibility and crystal structure of two immiscible biodegradable polymers
Poly lactic acid (PLLA) is a promising biopolymer, obtained from polymerization of lactic acid that is derived from renewable resources through fermentation. The characteristic brittleness of PLLA is attributed to slow crystallization rates, which results in the formation of the large spherulites. Its glass temperature is relative high, above room temperatur

2. Macro- and microscopic properties of milk proteins and k-carrageenan gels / Propriedades macro- e microscopicas de geis de proteinas do leite e k-carragena
Evaluation of acid-induced sodium caseinate (CS) gelation promoted by glucono-d- lactone (GDL) was performed at different acidification rates with several protein concentrations (2-6% w/w). The kinetics of acidification and gelation were followed from pH 6.7 to the isoelectric point of casein by evaluation of the pH and mechanical properties using uniaxial c

3. Sintese e Caracterização de Derivados da Celulose Modificada com Anidridos Orgânicos : adsorção e Termodinamica de Interação com Cations Metalicos / Synthesis and characterization of cellulose derivatives with organic anhydrides : adsorption and interation thermodynamic metallic cations
Cellulose is a widely available biopolymer in nature and its draws considerable chemical interest due its various useful applications. The polysaccharide modification is primarily based on their hydroxyl group reactivity, which determines the carbohydrate chemistry and their related structures. The chemical modification of cellulose was carried out in a solv

4. Estudo das interações entre biopolimeros e polpas de frutas tropicais em cisalhamento estacionario e oscilatorio
The rheological behavior of guar and xanthan gums in passion tfuit pulp was evaluated by means of shear flow and oscillatory shear tests. Herschel-Bulckley model represented successfully biopolymers flow behavior and Cross model was used to describe those behaviors in a broad shear stress range. In pulp tfuit systems, xanthan gum showed more pseudoplasticity

5. Survival of Bacteria and Fungi in Relation to Water Activity and the Solvent Properties of Water in Biopolymer Gels
Survival of bacteria (Rhizobium, Agrobacterium, and Arthrobacter spp.), fungal spores (Penicillium sp.), and yeasts (Saccharomyces sp.) was studied in relation to water activity (aw) and the presence of nutritive solutes. The cells were entrapped in polysaccharide gels, as is done to immobilize cells or enzymes, and then dehydrated. The number of living cell

6. Selective Filtering of Particles by the Extracellular Matrix: An Electrostatic Bandpass
The transport of microscopic particles such as growth factors, proteins, or drugs through the extracellular matrix (ECM) is based on diffusion, a ubiquitous mechanism in nature. The ECM shapes the local distribution of the transported macromolecules and at the same time constitutes an important barrier toward infectious agents. To fulfill these competing tas

7. Preparation of a spectral probe derivative of the hemocyanin biopolymer: effects of allosteric interactions on the coupled binuclear copper active site.
A series of derivatives for both the arthropod and mollusc hemocyanin biopolymers has been prepared; the derivatives contain a small fraction of electron paramagnetic resonance-detectable half-met [Cu(II) CU(I)] sites dispersed among the non-detectable oxy binuclear copper active sites. Upon deoxygenation, large changes in the electron paramagnetic resonance

8. Bioreactor for the study of defined interactions of toxic metals and biofilms.
A novel bioreactor system constructed for studies of the interactions of heavy metals and microbial cells at the solid-solution interface is described. The applicability of this experimental system to meet the severe constraints imposed on such an apparatus by the requirements for an unambiguous interpretation of data and for mathematical modeling of these i

9. Cationic liposome–microtubule complexes: Pathways to the formation of two-state lipid–protein nanotubes with open or closed ends
Intermolecular interactions between charged membranes and biological polyelectrolytes, tuned by physical parameters, which include the membrane charge density and bending rigidity, the membrane spontaneous curvature, the biopolymer curvature, and the overall charge of the complex, lead to distinct structures and morphologies. The self-assembly of cationic li
