(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2013-10)In the present study, linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE)/soya powder blends were compatibilized with epoxidized natural rubber (ENR 50) and exposed to natural weathering. The exposure period for the blends was 1 year. ... -
Characterizations of biocompatible and bioactive hydroxyapatite particles
(Elsevier B.V., 2013)The most common gene vectors used are virus based (viral gene vectors). These possess high immunological risk, so a non-viral gene vector maybe preferable. Nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite, HAp [Ca10(PO 4)6(OH)2] is an example ... -
The effect of different sizes "Batu Reput" (Dolomite) as a filler in SMR L and ENR-50
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)The effects of different sizes of "Batu Reput" (Dolomite) filler which are smaller size (<63μm) and bigger size (75-150μm) on tensile and morphological properties of "Batu Reput" (Dolomite) filled SMR L and epoxidized ... -
Comparative study on human and bovine AT-SC isolation methods
(Elsevier Ltd., 2013-11)Mammalian adipose tissue derived stem cells (AT-SC) have a tremendous potential in regenerative medicine for tissue engineering and somatic nuclear transfer (SNT). The isolation methods of human and bovine adipose tissue ... -
Potential innovations in separation technology by nature-inspired membranes: Beneath and beyond the Earth's crust
(Society of Chemical Industry/Wiley, 2014-04)The understanding of complex bio-mechanisms in nature is explored in this perspective as a way to effectively enable scientific advancements in membrane technology. The mechanisms of nature-inspired technological improvements ... -
Protein solubility behaviour of fresh and frozen chicken meat in slaughtering and non slaughtering condition
(Faculty of Food Science & Technology, Universiti Putra Malaysia, 2014)This work was investigated the protein solubility properties of meat from chicken in different body part. The effects of fresh and freezing condition were studied on the protein solubility as a functional property of ... -
Mineralization of Methyl Orange-containing wastewater by integrated anaerobic and aerobic processes using spent granular activated carbon-biofilm under sequencing batch reactor operation
(Taylor & Francis, 2013)Mineralization of azo dye required combination of anaerobic and aerobic processes either in two stages or single stage of treatment. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the treatment performance in the decolorization ... -
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 ... -
Effect of buffer and pH on the protein extraction for chicken meat
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)The study was undertaken to determine the extraction of proteins from chicken meat. The effect of buffer (phosphate, citrate and glycine) and four pH values (6.0, 7.0, 8.0 and 9.0) were investigated. The protein extractability ... -
Ionic liquids: Green solvent for pretreatment of lingnocellulosic biomass
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)Green technology has become the primary concern of nations around the world. In-line with this concern, lignocellulosic biomass is often advocated as significant starting material for a greener production. However, the ... -
