Linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) was chemically modified with grafting maleic anhydride (MAH) monomer on its backbone by melting blending. Nano-particles SiO2 was modified by cationic surfactant hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) and anionic surfactant sulfosalicylic acid (SSA) and added to PE coating respectively. Measurement of membrane potential showed that the coating containing modified SiO2 nano-particles had characteristic of ion selectivity. The properties of the different coatings were investigated according to relative industrial standards. Experimental results indicated that PE coating with ion selectivity had better performances, such as adhesion strength, cathodic disbonding and anti-corrosion, than those of coating without ion selectivity. Crystal structure of the coatings before and after alkali corrosion was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Structure of the coating without ion selectivity was damaged by NaOH alkali solution, causing mechanical properties being decreased. And the structure of the ion selective coatings was not affected.

Nanostructured copper-diamond composites can be tailored for thermal management applications at high temperature. A novel approach based on multiscale diamond dispersions is proposed for the production of this type of materials: a Cu-nDiamond composite produced by high-energy milling is used as a nanostructured matrix for further dispersion of micrometer sized diamond. The former offers strength and microstructural thermal stability while the latter provides high thermal conductivity. A series of Cu-nDiamond mixtures have been milled to define the minimum nanodiamond fraction suitable for matrix refinement and thermal stabilization. A refined matrix with homogenously dispersed nanoparticles could be obtained with 4 at.% nanodiamond for posterior mixture with mDiamond and subsequent consolidation. In order to define optimal processing parameters, consolidation by hot extrusion has been carried out for a Cu-nDiamond composite and, in parallel, for a mixture of pure copper and mDiamond. The materials produced were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning and transmission electron microscopy and microhardness measurements.

In the present study, co-crystals (CCs) of Paliperidone (PPD) with coformers like benzoic acid (BA) and P-amino benzoic acid (PABA) were synthesized and characterized to improve the physicochemical properties and dissolution rate. CCs were prepared by the solvent evaporation (SE) technique and were compared with the products formed by neat grinding (NG) and liquid assisted grinding (LAG) in their enhancement of solubility. The formation of CCs was confirmed by the IR spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction and thermal analysis methods. The saturation solubility studies indicate that the aqueous solubility of PPD-BA and PPD-PABA CCs was significantly improved to 1.343±0.162mg/ml and 1.964±0.452mg/ml, respectively, in comparison with the PPD solubility of 0.473mg/ml. This increase in solubility is 2.83-and 3.09-fold, respectively. PPD exhibited a poor dissolution of 37.8% in 60min, while the dissolution of the CCs improved tremendously to 96.07% and 89.65% in 60min. CCs of PPD with BA and PABA present a novel approach to overcome the solubility challenges of poorly water-soluble drug PPD.

AbstractThis study addresses issues with currently used bone adhesives, by producing novel glass based skeletal adhesives through modification of the base glass composition to include copper (Cu) and by characterizing each glass with respect to structural changes. Bioactive glasses have found applications in fields such as orthopedics and dentistry, where they have been utilized for the restoration of bone and teeth. The present work outlines the formation of flexible organic-inorganic polyacrylic acid (PAA) – glass hybrids, commercial forms are known as glass ionomer cements (GICs). Initial stages of this research will involve characterization of the Cu-glasses, significant to evaluate the properties of the resulting adhesives. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of annealed Cu glasses indicates the presence of partial crystallization in the glass. The structural analysis of the glass using Raman suggests the formation of CuO nanocrystals on the surface. X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) further confirmed the formation of crystalline CuO phases on the surface of the annealed Cu-glass. The setting reaction was studied using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR). The mechanical properties of the Cu containing adhesives exhibited gel viscoelastic behavior and enhanced mechanical properties when compared to the control composition. Compression data indicated the Cu glass adhesives were efficient at energy dissipation due to the reversible interactions between CuO nano particles and PAA polymer chains.

This paper experimentally presented the water stability of magnesium phosphate cement (MPC) modified by nano-Al2O3 (NA), nano-Fe2O3 (NF) and water glass (WG). The optimal addition of 6% NA, 2% NF and 1% WG significantly improved the water stability of MPC mortar by 86%, 101% and 96% after 28 days of water immersion, respectively. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) were used to analyze the water stability of MPC modified by NA, NF and WG. The results of the micrograph and composition analysis revealed that the proper amount of NA, NF or WG could fill the micro pores and improve the hydration of interior structures of MPC mortar. Thus, the microstructural compactness was satisfied to keep a good water stability of MPC mortar.

In this research, unzipped sulfanilic acid inspired hydrophobic peptide tube was synthesis by increasing the polarity of sulfanilic acid through nucleophilic attachment of aniline which then provided two reactive sites at the S-terminus. These two sites were then attached with the N-terminal of valine and alanine respectively at an intensity of 1000-1600 of 11 2θ (°). Through π-π stacking at the side chains, the opened ended peptide was linearly arranged to form the unzipped tube. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) confirm the amine bond formation whiles X-ray diffraction test results confirmed D-spacing 7.36 and 4.44 corresponding 2θ (°)12 and 19.97 respectively whiles the torsion angles (Ø2) conformations was between-150.5°and-169.2° and-2 between-129.0° and-150.6°. The Thermogravimetric analysis result showed an increase in the rigidity of the bond with an increasing intensity. Finally, Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) test was carried out to confirm the crystallinity of the structure. Keywords: Sulfanilic acid, hydrophobic Peptide, Unzipped tubes, Nanomaterial

Mild steel materials have wide applications in marine construction, because they are low cost, available and easy to handle. However, they have to be protected from corrosive media by coating with polymer hybrid materials. This paper focuses on the anticorrosive properties of poly(4-methyl-5-vinylthiazole) PVTZ coatings on mild steel. Further the coating resistance is enhanced by incorporating Titania Nano particles (TiO2NPs). The nanoparticles were evaluated using X-ray diffraction studies (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). PVTZ and its TiO2 nanocomposite were coated on mild steel. Their anticorrosive behavior was analyzed by potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in 3.5% (w/v) NaCl.

The Fourier Transform

The enhancement of the ultraviolet (UV) photodegradation resistance of biodegradable polymers can improve their application efficacy in a natural environment. In this study, the hexadecylamine modified layered zinc phenylphosphonate (m-PPZn) was used as a UV protection additive for poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) via solution mixing. The results from the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and wide-angle X-ray diffraction analysis of the m-PPZn indicated the occurrence of hexadecylamine intercalation. FTIR and gel permeation chromatography were used to characterize the evolution of the PBAT/m-PPZn composites after being artificially irradiated via a light source. The various functional groups produced via photodegradation were analyzed to illustrate the enhanced UV protection ability of m-PPZn in the composite materials. From the appearance, the yellowness index of the PBAT/m-PPZn composite materials was significantly lower than that of the pure PBAT matrix due to photodegradation. These results were confirmed by the molecular weight reduction in PBAT with increasing m-PPZn content, possibly due to the UV photon energy reflection by the m-PPZn. This study presents a novel approach of improving the UV photodegradation of a biodegradable polymer using an organically modified layered zinc phenylphosphonate composite.
