Abstract We investigated the industrial applicability of multifunctional flame-retardant epoxy gelcoats based on flame retardants containing phosphorus (P), in particular ammonium polyphosphate (APP, which acts solid phase), resorcinol bis(diphenyl phosphate) (RDP, mainly gas phase) and their combination. It was possible to apply most formulations via spraying with use a diluent, while RDP were...

Purpose: A deficit was identified in the traditional method of making homeopathic dilutions by 1:9 or 1:99 serial based on physical units mass volume. When chemical unit mole is considered, mass-based dilution nitroglycerin ethyl alcohol has a 1:48.8 molar ratio. In order to provide ratio, ratios required for formulations with lithium carbonate: lactose (diluent) and lead phosphate: are 1:41.7 ...

The effects have been studied of diluent, heparin activity after dilution, container, and pH on the stability of heparin solutions stored under conditions resembling those present during heparin infusion by intravenous drip or syringe pump. Heparin activity was measured by activated partial thromboplastin time and thrombin clotting time (and, in one set of studies, also by factor Xa inhibitor a...

Rubella hemagglutinating (HA) antigen was prepared in BHK-21 tissue as 5% cell suspensions and from unconcentrated and 20x concentrated infected supernatant fluids. In some instances, unconcentrated fluids were treated with Tween 80 and ether; cell suspensions were treated with ether alone. Preparations were tested for HA activity in dextrose-gelatin-Veronal (DGV) buffer solutions; 0.85% NaCl; ...

Purpose: Alpha-cellulose obtained as pulp from fibrous plant materials has found use in the pharmaceutical industry as a disintegrant and direct compression diluent. The aim of this study was to evaluate the suitability of α-cellulose obtained from waste paper as a direct compression excipient. Method: The flow and compaction characteristics of α-cellulose (ACP) obtained from waste paper, in co...

To reduce volumetric shrinkage of the commercially available polymeric dental composite during curing reaction, (2,2-bis [4-(2-hydroxy-3-methacryloyloxy propoxy) phenyl] propane) (bis-GMA) derivatives, i.e., (2,2-bis[3-methyl, 4-(2-hydroxy-3-methacryloyloxy propoxy) phenyl] propan) (DMBis-GMA) and (2,2bis[3,5-dimethyl, 4-(2-hydroxy-3-methacryloyloxy propoxy) phenyl] propane) (TMBis-GMA) were sy...

This paper describes Nano-particle based Planar Laser Scattering (NPLS) flow visualization of angled supersonic jets into a supersonic cross flow based on the HYpersonic Low TEmperature (HYLTE) nozzle which was widely used in DF chemical laser. In order to investigate the non-reacting flowfield in the HYLTE nozzle, a testing section with windows was designed and manufactured. The impact of seco...
