Bacterial cellulose (BC) and chemically modified BC are attractive adsorptive materials for
biomacromolecules due to their fine network structure. In the present study, the adsorption …

Crosslinked lignocatechol gel was prepared by immobilizing catechol onto wood lignin
followed by crosslinking. The adsorption behavior of crosslinked lignocatechol was studied …

Hydrophilic–hydrophobic block copolymer ionomers based on polyphenylenes with
controlled the block lengths were synthesized for the first time by a catalyst-transfer …

While blanching is mainly used for inactivating enzymes and pasteurization before processing
of vegetables, this pretreatment is sometimes applied to improve the drying efficiencies of …

Calix[6]arene hexacarboxylic acid was found to be a useful carrier for transporting amino
acids through a liquid membrane. The calix[6]arene, which has a cyclic structure to include a …

Bacterial cellulose is extracellular cellulose synthesized by some bacteria. The thickness of
the microfibrous structure of bacterial cellulose is much less than that of plant cellulose. In …

A novel wastewater treatment technique using 8W low-pressure mercury lamps in the
presence of uniform-sized microbubbles (diameter=5.79μm) was investigated for the …

Recently, we reported that a calix[6]arene carboxylic acid derivative can selectively extract
the lysine-rich protein cytochrome c by interacting with amino groups on the protein surface. …

A series of calixarene carboxylic acid derivatives were synthesized for the extraction of amino
acids. A calix[6]arene carboxylic acid derivative showed the highest extractability to the …
