The thermooxidative degradation of poly (vinyl alcohol)/silica (PVA/SiO2) nanocomposite prepared with self-assembly monolayer (SAM) technique is investigated by using a thermogravimetry (TG) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy coupled thermogravimetry (FTIR/TG). The results show that although the thermooxidative degradation process of prepared nanocomposite is similar to that of the pure PVA, its thermooxidative stability has been greatly improved.

Abstract The thermooxidative degradation of natural rubber (NR) coagulated by microwave radiation (NR-m) was investigated by thermogravimetry (TG) analysis, and compared with NR coagulated by acid (NR-a). It was found that the degradation process is not a one-step reaction, the main degradation process occurs at 300–400ºC, and the equilibrium degradation temperatures of NR-m are higher than those of NR-a. Different methods were used to find the most probable kinetic model and the Arrhenius para­meters (activation energy E and preexponential factor A) for the main stage of thermooxidative degradation of NR-m. The results show that the values of E and A, obtained from the Coats-Redfern method, are highly variable with the kinetic model chosen and the heating rate (β), and the apparent activation energy (E0) when β approaches zero for the Dn type kinetic model is in the range of 96.7–106.4 kJ ∙ mol-1. The mean values of E, calculated by the Friedman and Flynn-Wall-Ozawa (FWO) methods, are 113.8 and 83.3 kJ ∙ mol-1, respectively, suggesting E in the range of 83.3–113.8 kJ ∙ mol-1. Comparison of these two ranges indicates the most probable kinetic model to be Dn type kinetic models, corresponding to a diffusion-controlled mechanism.

The use of various bioerodable polymers as drug delivery systems has gained considerable interest in recent years. Among some of the shapes used as delivery systems are films, rods and microcapsules. The work presented here will deal with the techniques we have utilized for the analysis of the tissue reaction to and actual biodegradation of injectable microcapsules. This work has utilized light microscopic (LM), transmission (TEM) and scanning (SEM) electron microscopic techniques. The design of our studies has utilized methodology that would; 1. best characterize the actual degradation process without artifacts introduced by fixation procedures and 2. allow for reproducible results.In our studies, the gastrocnemius muscle of the rat was chosen as the injection site. Prior to the injection of microcapsules the skin above the sites was shaved and tattooed for later recognition and recovery. 1.0 cc syringes were loaded with the desired quantity of microcapsules and the vehicle (0.5% hydroxypropylmethycellulose) drawn up. The syringes were agitated to suspend the microcapsules in the injection vehicle.
