Structural and Optical Characteristics of Carboxymethylcellulose / Polyacrylic Acid Polymer Blend by Yaqoob M. Jawad, Mahasin F. Hadi Al- Kadhemy

“…FESEM image for CMC/ PAA film showed the formation of small spherical grains for PAA into CMC that insured the existence of some peaks in XRD pattern of PAA in CMC film which means the improvement of the microstructure of the polymer matrix. …”

Storage stability of vitamin C fortified purple mashed potatoes processed with microwave-assisted thermal sterilization system by Juhi Patel, Ashutos Parhi, Zhongwei Tang, Juming Tang, Shyam S. Sablani

“…MATS processing caused a significant increase (P < 0.05) in the oxygen transmission rates (OTRs) of PAA pouches but did not affect the barrier properties of TLMO pouches. PAA film also had a significantly higher (P < 0.05) water vapor transmission rate (WVTRs) than TLMO films, which resulted in a significantly higher (P < 0.05) weight loss in the samples packaged in PAA pouches than TLMO pouches. …”

Electropolymerization of acrylic acid on steel for enhanced joining by plastic deformation by B. Duderija, F. Sahin, D. Meinderink, J.C. Calderón-Gómez, H.C. Schmidt, W. Homberg, G. Grundmeier, A. González-Orive

“…Interestingly, higher maximum shear force values are obtained for the PAA films when Zn metallic deposits are not present in the organic layer, but, when these welded specimens are heated up to 200 °C in a N2 atmosphere, it occurred exactly the opposite: Zn particle-containing PAA films showed the highest maximum shear force values for the same deposition time.…”
