Abstract In this study, sonochemical-assisted magnesium borate synthesis is studied from different boron sources. Various reaction parameters are successfully applied by a simple and green method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and Raman spectroscopies are used to characterize the synthesized magnesium borates on the other hand surface morphologies are investigated by using scanning electron microscope (SEM). The XRD analyses showed that the products were admontite [MgO(B2O3)3 · 7(H2O)] with JCPDS (Joint Committee on Powder Diffraction Standards) no. of 01-076-0540 and mcallisterite [Mg2(B6O7(OH)6)2 · 9(H2O)] with JCPDS no. of 01-070-1902. The results that found in the spectroscopic studies were in a good agreement with characteristic magnesium borate bands in both regions of infra-red and visible. According to SEM results, obtained borates were in micro and sub-micro scales. By the use of ultrasonication, reaction yields were found between 84.2 and 97.9%. As a result, it is concluded that the sonochemical approach is a practicable synthesis method to get high efficiency and high crystallinity in the synthesis magnesium borate compounds.

Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and Raman spectroscopy and mapping were applied to the analysis of biofilms produced by bacteria of the genus Streptococcus. Bacterial biofilm, also called dental plaque, is the main cause of periodontal disease and tooth decay. It consists of a complex microbial community embedded in an extracellular matrix composed of highly hydrated extracellular polymeric substances and is a combination of salivary and bacterial proteins, lipids, polysaccharides, nucleic acids, and inorganic ions. This study confirms the value of Raman and FT-IR spectroscopies in biology, medicine, and pharmacy as effective tools for bacterial product characterization.

This paper presents the obtaining and the characterization of composites with polypropylene matrix and hemp shives as filler in different ratios and containing poly(propylene)-co maleic anhydride (MAH-PP) 3% wt as compatibility agent. The weathering behavior of the composite enclosing 60% hemp shives, performed after the exposure to UV radiations at different exposure times, was evaluated. The changes in the chemical and morphological structures were investigated by FT-IR and RAMAN spectroscopies and AFM microscopy. The mechanical characteristics of the composites were determined before and after an artificial aging process, and they are within the limits of the values reported for polyolefin-based composites and materials with natural fillers. During the accelerated weathering process, the correlation between the chemical degradation of the main components of the composite and the modification of the mechanical properties after the process of aging has been observed.

Structural analysis of x Ag 2 O · (100-x)[ B 2 O 3 · As 2 O 3] glass system, with 0 ≤ x ≤ 10 mol%, was performed by means of FT-IR and Raman spectroscopies. The purpose of this work is to investigate the structural changes that appear in the B 2 O 3 · As 2 O 3 glass matrix with the addition and increase of silver ion content. Boroxol rings, pyro-, ortho-, di-, tri-, tetra- and penta-borate groups, structural units characteristic to As 2 O 3 were found in the structure of the studied glasses. FT-IR spectroscopy measurements show that BO 3 units are the main structural units of the glass system. The presence of structural units characteristic to Ag 2 O were not directly evidenced by FT-IR spectroscopy. The Raman analysis leads to similar conclusions as the FT-IR measurements.

Poly(p-phenylenediamine)/montmorillonite (PPDA/MMT) composites were prepared by the oxidative polymerization of monomers intercalated within the MMT gallery, using ammonium peroxydisulfate as an oxidant. The intercalation process was evidenced by X-ray powder diffraction. The FT-IR and Raman spectroscopies revealed that, depending on the initial ratio between monomers and MMT in the polymerization mixture, the polymer or mainly oligomers are created during polymerization. The DC conductivity of composites was found to be higher than the conductivity of pristine polymer, reaching the highest value of 10−6 S cm−1 for the optimal MMT amount used during polymerization. Impedance spectroscopy was performed over wide frequency and temperature ranges to study the charge transport mechanism. The data analyzed in the framework of conductivity formalism suggest different conduction mechanisms for high and low temperature regions.

When managing older patients with lower-risk hormone-receptor-positive (HR+), HER2 negative (HER2−) early-stage breast cancer (EBC), the harms and benefits of adjuvant therapies should be taken into consideration. A survey was conducted among Canadian oncologists on the definitions of “low risk” and “older”, practice patterns, and future trial designs. We contacted 254 physicians and 21% completed the survey (50/242). Most respondents (68%, 34/50) agreed with the definition of “low risk” HR+/HER2− EBC being node-negative and either: ≤3 cm and low histological grade, ≤2 cm and intermediate grade, or ≤1 cm and high grade. The most popular chronological and biological age definition for older patients was ≥70 (45%, 22/49; 45% 21/47). In patients ≥ 70 with low risk EBC, most radiation and medical oncologists would recommend post-lumpectomy radiotherapy (RT) and endocrine therapy (ET). Seventy-eight percent (38/49) felt that trials are needed to evaluate RT and ET’s role in patients ≥ 70. The favored design was ET alone, vs. RT plus ET (39%, 15/38). The preferred primary and secondary endpoints were disease-free survival and quality of life, respectively. Although oncologists recommended both RT and ET, there is interest in performing de-escalation trials in patients ≥ 70.
