Poly (trimethylene terephthalate) (PTT)/functionalized graphene oxide (fGO) nanocomposites were prepared by melt compounding. The crystalline morphology and crystallization behavior of PTT/fGO with different amounts of fGO were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and polarizing optical microscope (POM). The results show that the crystallization peak shifts to higher temperature after adding fGO, indicating that fGO have a nucleating effect on PTT. The crystallization temperature of nanocomposites increases with increasing content of fGO. The XRD pattern of PTT/fGO nanocomposites almost no change that indicated the degree of crystallinity of the PTT matrix remained unaffected by the addition of fGO. The nanocomposite revealed integrated Maltese crossed spherulitic morphologies. When adding 1% fGO to the PTT, big-sized PTT spherulites occurred and small-sized PTT spherulites were formed around the big-sized PTT spherulites which indicated that the mechanism of nucleation is changed.

Freeze drying was compared with spray drying regarding feasibility to process wild thyme drug in order to obtain dry formulations at laboratory scale starting from liquid extracts produced by different extraction methods: maceration, heat-, ultrasound-, and microwave-assisted extractions. Higher powder yield (based on the dry weight prior to extraction) was achieved by freeze than spray drying and lower loss of total polyphenol content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC) due to the drying process. Gelatin as a coating agent (5% w/w) provided better TPC recovery by 70% in case of lyophilization and higher powder yield in case of spray drying by diminishing material deposition on the wall of the drying chamber. The resulting gelatin-free and gelatin-containing powders carried polyphenols in amount ~190 and 53-75 mg gallic acid equivalents GAE/g of powder, respectively. Microwave-assisted extract formulation distinguished from others by higher content of polyphenols, proteins and sugars, higher bulk density and lower solubility. The type of the drying process affected mainly position of the gelatin-derived -OH and amide bands in FTIR spectra. Spray dried formulations compared to freeze dried expressed higher thermal stability as confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry analysis and higher diffusion coefficient; the last feature can be associated with the lower specific surface area of irregularly shaped freeze-dried particles (151-223 µm) compared to small microspheres (~8 µm) in spray-dried powder.
