In recent years, multicomponent polymers have generated much interest due to their excellent properties, unique morphology and high-end applications. Book focusses on thermal, thermo-mechanical and dielectric analysis of polymers and multicomponent polymeric systems like blends, interpenetrating polymeric networks (IPNs), gels, polymer composites, and nanocomposites. Through these analyses, it …
Glucomannan with lower molecular weight (MW) has the ability of prebiotics and high functional food. This research aimed to depolymerize glucomannan enzymatically with cellulase to produce oligosaccharides, and to study the effect of enzyme concentrations and time of depolymerization on intrinsic viscosity, molecular weight, degree of polymerization, water solubility index, water holding capaci…
Bahan teknik atau material rekayasa yang selama ini populer adalah bahan anorganik, misalnya keramik, gelas dan semen. Tetapi, akhir- akhir ini bahan polimer organik semakin dikenal di berbagai sektor industri. Polimer menjadi bahan andalan di bidang konstruksi bangunan, karena bahan polimer yang paling mutakhir tidak lagi membahayakan lingkungan.
