Concrete Durability Properties and Microstructural Analysis of Cement Pastes with Nopal Cactus Mucilage as a Natural Additive

Materiales de Construccion, 2012
The present study evaluated the addition of a 3% nopal cactus mucilage solution to cement pastes, in its effects on setting times, flow, hydration, and microstructure, as well as on capillary water absorption and chloride diffusion in concrete. Hydration

Local evolution of seed flotation in Arabidopsis. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2014
Arabidopsis seeds rapidly release hydrophilic polysaccharides from the seed coat on imbibition. These form a heavy mucilage layer around the seed that makes it sink in water.

Charge Generation and Recombination Pathways in All‐Polymer Bulk Heterojunction Solar Cells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Multimodal spectroscopy and device analysis reveal how field‐dependent charge generation, transport limitations, and non‐geminate recombination govern performance losses in all polymer solar cells. The results identify the key processes controlling charge extraction and recombination, providing insights for the design of more efficient all‐polymer ...

Plant mucilages. XVIII. Isolation and characterization of a mucilage, "Abelmoschus-mucilage M," from the roots of Abelmoschus manihot.

Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 1977
A representative mucilage, named Abelmoschus-mucilage M, has been isolated from the roots of Abelmoschus manihot MEDICUS. It was homogeneous by ultracentrifugal analysis and on cellulose acetate membrane electrophoresis, and its water solution gave the high intrinsic viscosity value of 33.0. It was composed of 82% of polysaccharide and approximately 17%

Increasing Inter‐Micellar Connectivity Toughens and Imparts Cooling‐Induced Shape Memory in Micellar Hydrogels

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Oligomerizing Pluronic triblock copolymers provides a processing strategy for tuning the mechanical properties and stimuli‐responsive behaviors of micellar hydrogels. Varying oligomer fraction produces hydrogels spanning brittle to highly extensible responses; maintaining micellar architectures enables cooling‐induced reverse thermal shape memory and ...

Plant mucilages. XXX. Isolation and characterization of a mucilage, "dioscorea-mucilage B," from the rhizophors of Dioscorea batatas.

Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 1981
A representative mucilage, named Dioscorea-mucilage B, was isolated from the rhizophors of Dioscorea batatas DECAISNE. The final preparation was homogeneous as determined by ultracentrifugal analysis, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and gel chromatography.

Nanodiamond Sensing in Dynamic Environments With Fast‐Tracking Through Four‐Point Positioning

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A four‐point positioning tracking (4PPT) platform enables fast 3D feedback translational tracking of fluorescent nanodiamonds while simultaneously recording ODMR spectra. By integrating real‐time translational tracking with quantum sensing, mobile nanodiamonds are used for in‐situ nanothermometry, nanorheometry, and 6D translation–rotation tracking in ...

Impact of nitrogen fertilisation on cactus pear mucilage functionality

South African Journal of Science
The spineless cactus pear (Opuntia ficus-indica) mucilage is a physically slimy, green extract that is sourced from the cladodes (modified stems) of the crop.

Dissecting Seed Mucilage Adherence Mediated by FEI2 and SOS5

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
The plant cell wall is held together by the interactions between four major components: cellulose, pectin, hemicellulose, and proteins. Mucilage is a powerful model system to study the interactions between these components as it is formed of ...

Plant mucilages. XXXVI. Isolation and characterization of a mucilage, "okra-mucilage R", from the roots of Abelmoschus esculentus.

Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 1985
A representative mucilage, named Okra-mucilage R. was isolated from the roots of Abelmoschus esculentus MOENCH (=Hibiscus esculentus L. ; Okra). The final preparation was homogeneous as determined by ultracentrifugal analysis, cellulose acetate membrane electrophoresis, and gel chromatography.
