Walled Carbon Nanotubes

Multi-walled carbon-nanotubes (MWCNTs) were melt-mixed with three different thermoplastic matrices (polypropylene, PP, polycarbonate, PC, and thermoplastic polyurethane, TPU) to produce nanocomposites with three different filler contents (1, 3, and 5 wt.%). Initial nanocomposite blends (in the shape of pellets) were tested under differential scanning calorimetry to evaluate the effect of the melt mixing stage. Nanocomposite samples were produced by compression moulding in a laboratory-scale system, and were tested with quasi-static (bending, indentation), and dynamic mechanical tests as well as with friction tests. The results showed the effect of the filler content on the mechanical and functional properties of the nanocomposites. Compression moulding appeared to be a valuable solution to manufacture thermoplastic nanocomposites when injection moulding leads to loss of performance. MWCNT-filled thermoplastics could be used also for structural and functional uses despite, the present predominance of electrical applications.

AbstractNew features of thermoplastic polyurethane (PUR)/2-butanone gels are investigated, using dynamic viscoelastic measurements and differential scanning calorimetry. The work is focused on the effect of the hard-segments content on the gelation process. In the case of PUR with the highest hard-segment fraction (30%), soft segments are not able to crystallize on cooling from solution; consequently, gels are not formed. The copolymer with the lowest hard-segment content (12%) gives the shortest gel times. This is attributed to the low solution viscosity of this copolymer, which enhances the crystallization rate. All gels melt at 7°C, giving rise to a viscoelastic solution in a thermoreversible process. The critical gelation concentration is below the critical concentration for polymer chain entanglements.

<p>The thermal stability of pseudocyclic and cyclic <i>N</i>-heterocycle-stabilized (hydroxy)aryl- and mesityl(aryl)-l<sup>3</sup>-iodanes (NHIs) through thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is investigated. NHIs bearing <i>N</i>-heterocycles with a high N/C-ratio such as triazoles show among the lowest descomposition temperatures and the highest decomposition energies. A comparison of NHIs with known (pseudo)cyclic benziodoxolones is made and we further correlated their thermal stability with reactivity in a model oxygenation. </p>

Sinkonin praktis tidak larut dalam air, sedikit larut dalam kloroform dan alkohol. Hal ini berdampak pada rendahnya penetrasi transfollicular sinkonin, karena hanya bahan aktif hidrofilik yang mampu melewati hair follicle. Dengan demikian dibutuhkan satu sistem penghantaran yang mampu menurunkan hidrofobisitas sinkonin untuk meningkatkan penetrasi sinkonin ke follicle. Niosom merupakan vesikel ampifilik dengan struktur lapisan rangkap yang terbentuk dari hidrasi kombinasi surfaktan nonionik dan kolesterol yang mampu menurunkan hidrofobisitas sinkonin. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan proses pembuatan niosom sinkonin yang optimum. Pembuatan niosom sinkonin diawali dengan menentukan temperatur gelasi (Tg) dari span 60 dengan Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), kemudian dilanjutkan dengan optimasi proses meliputi: optimasi kecepatan rotavapor pembentukan film lapis tipis, temperatur hidrasi, kecepatan rotavapor hidrasi, waktu hidrasi, dan waktu sonikasi. Karakteristik vesikel niosom yang optimal meliputi: ukuran partikel dan indeks polidispersitas dengan menggunakan Particle Size Analized (PSA) serta efisiensi penjeratan sinkonin dengan menggunakan KCKT. Temperatur gelasi (Tg) span 60 45±2 oC, kecepatan rotavapor pembentukan film lapis tipis niosom 210 rpm, temperatur hidrasi 55±2 oC, kecepatan rotavapor hidrasi 210 rpm, waktu hidrasi 20 menit, waktu sonikasi suspensi niosom 1 menit. Ukuran vesikel yang diperoleh adalah 100–200 nm, indeks polidispersitas 0,2–0,4 dan efisiensi penjeratan niosom sinkonin 84,49±0,0025%. Proses pembuatan niosom sinkonin memiliki pengaruh besar terhadap hasil ukuran vesikel dan efisiensi penjeratan niosom sinkonin.

Abstract The choice of epoxy mold compound (EMC) for an electronic package is based mostly on how much protection it provides to the active components in the package. But the choice is not a straightforward process. Rather it is mostly trial and error using different assembly parameters to find the most robust material while assembly defects are monitored. One such defect associated to EMC processing is wire sweep, and many studies have shown that it is mainly caused by viscosity changes in the EMC. In this study, samples of EMC in various stages of shelf life and staging times were analyzed for degree of cure using a method called differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Samples are then processed at assembly for wire sweep measurement. It was found out that degree of cure increases with staging time at different rates for each shelf life. It was also found out that wire sweep did not only increase with degree of cure but it was also found to be predictable with respect to the latter. Using this information, the age and staging limit for each material was identified that would not cause wire sweep issues.
