ABSTRACTThe curing of a commercial ethoxymethyl-phosphosiloxane at different temperatures and under various gas ambients was characterised using NMR, thermoanalytical techniques, and FTIR spectroscopy. DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) and DTG (Differential Thermo Gravimetry) were employed to characterize the reactions that occur during thermal treatments in O2 or N2 atmospheres. FTIR spectroscopy and CP (Cross Polarization) 133C - NMR were used to detect the presence of the hydroxyl and organic groups in the cured samples. The experimental results identified three different temperatures (400,580,700°C) that define important stages of the curing reaction. In particular, for annealing at temperatuires up to 580°C in 02, DSC, DTG and FTIR spectra showed the elimination of the organic groups. However, when the annealing was carried out in N2 up to 700°C, these groups are retained.

Abstract Elastomers are used in many industrial applications because of their remarkable toughness and elasticity. However, the source of these properties is also a weakness, in that loss of properties via oxidation is an important factor in their selection. Thermoanalytical techniques, such as differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), provide useful tools for the characterization of the stability of elastomers. DSC can not only be used to determine oxidative induction times under isothermal conditions but can also be used to determine apparent overall activation energies of the oxidation process. An evaluation of these techniques is made and the technique is used to compare the oxidation susceptibility of polybutadienes of different microstructure. The results of these DSC scans are interpreted in terms of the chemistry of the oxidation process using FTIR results.


In this study, we extracted galactan from the seaweed Gracilaria verrucosa of Vietnam and investigated its structure and properties. The seaweed was immersed in water in the different temperatures to obtain the solution of galactan. Thereafter, the solution was coagulated and purified to obtain galactan as a powder. Kjeldahl method, infrared spectroscopy, viscosity determination and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were used to characterize structure and properties of the resulting material. It was found that the obtained galactan had agar structure without sulfate as substitute group. The proteins content, the intrinsic viscosity and the thermal resistance of the galactan extracted in water at 40 oC were higher than those of the galactan extracted in water at 100 oC.

Aim: The work’s aim was the preparation and characterization of a hydrogel based on gelatin and glycerine, useful for site-specific release of benzydamine, an anti-inflammatory drug, able to attenuate the inflammatory process typical of the vaginal infection. Objective: The obtained hydrogel has been characterized by Electronic Scanning Microscopy (SEM) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). In addition, due to the precursor properties, the hydrogel exhibits a relevant mucoadhesive activity. Methods: The swelling degree was evaluated at two different pHs and at defined time intervals. In particular, phosphate buffers were used at pH 6.6, in order to mimic the typical conditions of infectious diseases at the vaginal level, particularly for HIV-seropositive pregnant women, and pH 4.6, to simulate the physiological environment. Results: The obtained results revealed that the hydrogel swells up well at both pHs. Conclusion: Release studies conducted at both pathological and physiological pHs have shown that benzydamine is released at the level of the vaginal mucosa in a slow and gradual manner. These data support the hypothesis of the hydrogel use for the site-specific release of benzydamine in the vaginal mucosa.

The possibilities of applications of vibrational spectroscopy techniques (Raman spectroscopy) in the analysis and characterization of polymers are more and more used and accurate. In this paper, our purpose is to characterize Low Density Poly(Ethylene) (LDPE) grades by Raman spectroscopy and in particular with CH2 Raman vibration modes. With temperature measurements, we determine different amorphous and crystalline Raman assignments. From these results and on the basis of the evolution of CH2 bending Raman vibration modes, we develop a phenomenological model in correlation with Differential Scanning Calorimetry and in particular with crystalline lamella thickness determination.
