Abstract

According to previous studies on moisture effect, it is stated that moisture enhances the electronic properties of polymeric materials. A theoretical study based on density functional theory calculations at B3LYP/3-21g* is performed for investigating the effect of moisture on sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (Na-CMC) as monomer, dimer, trimer and emeraldine base. Results indicated that due to moistu...
