And Chemical Properties

Wheat gluten biopolymers generally become excessively rigid when processed without plasticisers, while the use of plasticisers, on the other hand, can deteriorate their mechanical properties. As such, this study investigated the effect of carbon black (CB) as a filler into glycerol-plasticised gluten to prepare gluten/CB biocomposites in order to eliminate the aforementioned drawback. Thus, biocomposites were manufactured using compression moulding followed by the determination of their mechanical, morphological, and chemical properties. The filler content of 4 wt% was found to be optimal for achieving increased tensile strength by 24%, and tensile modulus by 268% along with the toughness retention based on energy at break when compared with those of glycerol-plasticised gluten. When reaching the filler content up to 6 wt%, the tensile properties were found to be worsened, which can be ascribed to excessive agglomeration of carbon black at the high content levels within gluten matrices. Based on infrared spectroscopy, the results demonstrate an increased amount of β-sheets, suggesting the formation of more aggregated protein networks induced by increasing the filler contents. However, the addition of fillers did not improve fire and water resistance in such bionanocomposites owing to the high blend ratio of plasticiser to gluten.

Rostov Region belongs to the highly protected natural territories characterized by the continuous plowing. There territories are the only reserves with the soils preserved in their natural state. However, these areas often lack detailed information about the soils quality and composition. Surveying soils on these territories is crucial for determination of their basic physical and chemical properties. The resulted compilation of soil maps could lay a foundation for creating the Red Book of Soils and the formation of a section in the soil-geographical database of the Russian Federation. Subsequently, such information can be used as a background data for the main types of soils in the region. It will be also valuable during monitoring and justification of conservation measures.

Nanomaterials have engaged response from the scientific world in recent decades due to their exceptional physical and chemical properties counter to their bulk. They have been widely used in a polymer matrix to improve mechanical, thermal, barrier, electronic and chemical properties. In rubber nanocomposites, nanofillers dispersion and the interfacial adhesion between polymer and fillers influences the composites factual properties. In the present work, a comparison of the hybrid effects of carbon black with two different nanofillers (graphene oxide and nanoclay) was studied. The 70/30 composition of chlorobutyl rubber/natural rubber elastomer blend was taken as per the blend composition optimized from our previous studies. The hybrid effects of graphene oxide and nanoclay in dispersing the nanofillers were studied mainly by analyzing nanocomposite barrier properties. The results confirm that the combined effect of carbon black with graphene oxide and nanoclay could create hybrid effects in decreasing the gas permeability. The prepared nanocomposites which partially replace the expensive chlorobutyl rubber can be used for tyre inner liner application. Additionally, the reduction in the amount of carbon black in the nanocomposite can be an added advantage of considering the environmental and economic factors.

A significant part of medicine is based on the discovery and development of drugs. It is very important to know the crystal structure of pharmaceutical compounds for fundamental understanding of structure, physical and chemical properties. Many of these materials are available only as powders. So any structural information must be obtained from powder diffraction. I am going to present following the stages while solving the structure of C23H19N4OBr, 2-[3-phenyl-4(m-bromophenyl)-2-pyrazolin-1-yl]-3-methyl-4(3H)-quinazolinone, from 2-pyrazolines derivatives. The compounds are known to display various biological properties such as fungicidal insecticidal, anti bacterial, anti viral activities, pharmacological properties such as antiinflammatory agents and have industral properties(1). The powder diffraction data was collected with Debye Scherrer camera at the BL01C2 beamline at room temperature in National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center(NSRRC), Taiwan. X-ray of wavelength was 1.0333Å. This compound crystallizes in orthorhombic system space group P bca, Z=8, unit cell parameters of a=25.83(1)Å, b=15.55(5)Å, c=10.63(3)Å, and V=4266.0(10)Å3. Reliability factors were reached Rwp=0.075, Rp=0.053, RB=0.086 ve S=1.31 after Rietveld refinement.

The aim of this work was to study the properties of carbon black CH85 of the OMCARB series and to compare them with the properties of standard carbon blacks N339 and N234. The morphological characteristics, the size distribution of the globules and aggregates, the surface area, the proportion of micropore area, the degree of branching of aggregates, and also the mechanical and chemical properties were measured and calculated. The average size of the aggregates of CH85 is greater than that of N339 and N234, and the aggregates have a more open and branched structure. The iodine adsorption by CH85 is practically the same as that by N339 and lower than that by N234. The low-hysteresis index calculated on the basis of structural data is much better for CH85. This opens up the possibility of using this type of carbon black for the development of elastomeric materials with low hysteresis.

The research was performed to examine the physical, mechanical and chemical properties of seeds and kernels of Jatropha curcas. The test parameters were the dimensions of the seeds and kernels, required energy for oil extraction, determination of fatty acids in the oil by gas chromatography method, determination of the iodine value, determination of the acid value, determination of total polyphenols by the Folin & Ciocault reagent and determination of tocopherols and tocotrienols (vitamin E) by High-performance liquid chromatography. It was ascertained that the size of the seed and kernel varies considerably. Pressing of whole seeds needs more energy (50%) than pressing of kernels. From a chemical point of view it seems to be very appropriate for a production of biofuels. Jatropha curcas contains more polyphenols and vitamin E, which act as antioxidants, than the rape. Due to the low content of unsaturated fatty acids it is chemically suitable to replace the rape-seed oil with Jatropha curcas oil.

ABSTRACTObjective: Fundamental research in pharmacy and medicine have shown that drugs, which are based on nucleus of the 1,2,4-triazole, have a widerange of biological effects. Derivatives of this heterocyclic system have well-known Ukrainian clinicians and the world scientists due to its antifungal,antidepressant, anticancer, cardio- and hepatoprotective properties. The pharmacological activity of most organic compounds depends on severaldifferent factors, including bioavailability of the substance. Hence, it is very important to consider the results of the synthetic and biological researchesand established dependence of structure on the biological action when scientists model new molecules or improve pharmacological properties of anexisting structure. One of the important social and economic problems of the pharmaceutical industry is the implementation in practice of new drugsthat could compete with expensive imported drugs.
