Chitosan as Antimicrobial Agent:  Applications and Mode of Action

Entsar I. Rabea, Mohamed E. I. Badawy, Christian V. Stevens et al. · 3 Sep 2003

Chitosan, a hydrophilic biopolymer industrially obtained by N-deacetylation of chitin, can be applied as an antimicrobial agent. The current review of 129 references describes the biological activity of several chitosan derivatives and the modes of action that have been postulated in the literature. It highlights the applications of chitosan as an antimicrobial agent against fungi,…

Cellulose Nanofibers Prepared by TEMPO-Mediated Oxidation of Native Cellulose

Tsuguyuki Saito, Satoshi Kimura, Yoshiharu Nishiyama et al. · 13 Jul 2007

Never-dried and once-dried hardwood celluloses were oxidized by a 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl radical (TEMPO)-mediated system, and highly crystalline and individualized cellulose nanofibers, dispersed in water, were prepared by mechanical treatment of the oxidized cellulose/water slurries. When carboxylate contents formed from the primary hydroxyl groups of the celluloses reached approximately 1.5 mmol/g, the oxidized cellulose/water slurries were mostly…

Review of Recent Research into Cellulosic Whiskers, Their Properties and Their Application in Nanocomposite Field

My Ahmed Saïd Azizi Samir, Fannie Alloin, Alain Dufresne · 21 Jan 2005

There are numerous examples where animals or plants synthesize extracellular high-performance skeletal biocomposites consisting of a matrix reinforced by fibrous biopolymers. Cellulose, the world's most abundant natural, renewable, biodegradable polymer, is a classical example of these reinforcing elements, which occur as whisker-like microfibrils that are biosynthesized and deposited in a continuous fashion. In many cases,…

Electrospinning of Collagen Nanofibers

Jamil A. Matthews, Gary E. Wnek, David G. Simpson et al. · 26 Jan 2002

Electrospinning is a fabrication process that uses an electric field to control the deposition of polymer fibers onto a target substrate. This electrostatic processing strategy can be used to fabricate fibrous polymer mats composed of fiber diameters ranging from several microns down to 100 nm or less. In this study, we describe how electrospinning can…

Enzymatic Hydrolysis Combined with Mechanical Shearing and High-Pressure Homogenization for Nanoscale Cellulose Fibrils and Strong Gels

Marjo Pääkkö, Mikael Ankerfors, Harri Kosonen et al. · 3 May 2007

Toward exploiting the attractive mechanical properties of cellulose I nanoelements, a novel route is demonstrated, which combines enzymatic hydrolysis and mechanical shearing. Previously, an aggressive acid hydrolysis and sonication of cellulose I containing fibers was shown to lead to a network of weakly hydrogen-bonded rodlike cellulose elements typically with a low aspect ratio. On the…

Biomacromolecules template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Biomacromolecules format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Biomacromolecules template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official American Chemical Society format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Biomacromolecules use?
Biomacromolecules uses Superscript numbered (ACS) references, shown as superscript numerals in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: (1) Smith, A.; Jones, B.; Lee, C. A Representative Article Title. Biomacromolecules 2023, 12, 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Biomacromolecules?
No. DocuGuru generates the achemso LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a American Chemical Society-ready Biomacromolecules document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Biomacromolecules template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Biomacromolecules format with correct headings, figures, tables, and superscript citations.
What is Biomacromolecules?
ACS journal (achemso). It is a chemistry journal, published by American Chemical Society.
Can I export a submission-ready Biomacromolecules PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Biomacromolecules template (the achemso class) that is ready to submit to American Chemical Society, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Biomacromolecules template cost?
You can start writing in the Biomacromolecules template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Biomacromolecules PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
