the effect of the filler content and the different type of wood flour on the mechanical properties of polyethylene- date palm wood flour (dpwf) composite which are gathered from date palm tree annual pruning was studied. the different types of dpwf were stem, leaf and the mixture of stem and leaf. composites were made at 45, 60 and 75 % by weight filler contents. the particle size was 25-40 mes...

PLLA-g-LMWNR (LMWNR – low molecular weight natural rubber) was used as a compatibilizer (1–3 wt %) of poly(L-lactic acid)/deproteinized rubber (PLLA/DPNR) blend (95/5 w/w). The LMWNR prepared using TiO2/ZnO (9 : 1 w/w) and H2O2 co-catalyst. obtained grafted with 0–12 % maleic anhydride (LMWNR-g-MA) then PLLA (PLLA-g-LMWNR). A significant improvement in the mechanical properties PLLA/DPNR found ...

A simple and reliable high performance liquid chromatography method was developed and validated for the rapid determination of cyclosporine A in new pharmaceutical dosage forms based on the use of poly (methylvinylether-co-maleic anhydride) nanoparticles. The chromatographic separation was achieved using Ultrabase C18 column (250×4.6 mm, 5 μm), which was kept at 75°. The gradient mobile phase c...

We used density functional theory to study the mechanism of n-butane oxidation to maleic anhydride on the vanadium phosphorus oxide (VPO) surface. We found that O(1)═P on the V(V)OPO4 surface is the active center for initiating the VPO chemistry through extraction of H from alkane C-H bonds. This contrasts sharply with previous suggestions that the active center is either the V-O bonds or else ...

Modification of Styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer, synthesized in toluene using benzoyl peroxide (BPO) as initiator, through graft copolymerization of hydrophilic monomer, acrylic acid, (AAc), has been carried out in aqueous medium by chemical and gamma radiation methods. Optimum conditions pertaining to maximum percentage of grafting were evaluated as a function of different reaction paramete...

This study includes the design, synthesis and characterization of 1,2-phenylenediamine (o-PDA) functionalized maleic anhydride (MA)-vinyl acetate (VA) copolymer-based conjugate to develop a new formulation. The molecule is fluorescent dye that allows designing chemotherapeutic polymeric molecules. Poly(maleic anhydride-alt-vinyl acetate) [Poly(MA-alt-VA)] was obtained via charge transfer comple...

Motivated by environment preservation, the increased use of eco-friendly materials such as biodegradable polymers and biopolymers has raised interest researchers polymer industry. In this approach, work aimed to produce bioblends using poly (lactic acid) (PLA) high-density biopolyethylene (BioPE); due low compatibility between these polymers, evaluated additional influence compatibilizing agent...

This work is the continuation of a study focused on establishing relations between surface thermodynamic properties and in vitro release mechanisms using a model drug (ampicillin trihydrate), besides analyzing the granulometric properties of new polymeric materials and thus establishing the potential to be used in the pharmaceutical field as modified delivery excipients. To do this, we used cop...
