In this paper, quaternized hydroxyethylcellulose (QHEC) derivatives were studied as gene carriers for their efficient DNA binding abilities. All QHECs could form stable QHEC/DNA complexes and resist the degradation of DNase I. And the dynamic light scatter (DLS) results showed that all QHEC/DNA complexes could form compact particles. These QHEC/DNA complexes exhibited effective transfeetion abilities in comparison to the naked DNA. The cytotox- icities of QHEC and QHEC/DNA complexes were also evaluated in four cell lines which were relatively low com- pared with 25 kDa bPEI. All results indicated that these quaternized hydroxyethylcelluloses could be used as poten- tial gene delivery vectors.展开更多

The cellulose nanocrystals were isolated from maize straw, a biomass source produced in huge quantities as an agrowaste in Brazil. These bionanocomposite films had good transparency and their surface hydrophilic character was evidenced by static contact angle measurements. Thermogravimetry(TGA) measurement revealed that nanocrystals and surfactants changed the thermal stability of the HPC films. Dynamic mechanical analysis(DMA) showed that the tensile storage and loss moduli of the HPC films increased by increasing the contents of cellulose nanocrystals and surfactants, especially in the case of CTAB. This good reinforcing effect of HPC matrix can be explained as due to electrostatic attractive interactions brought about by the presence of CTAB and the nanocrystals.展开更多
