In this study, the adsorption behavior of an alginate biopolymer microspheres containing D2 EHPA/TOPO (DTMCs) toward samarium (III) and gadolinium (III) ions was examined under various conditions. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) techniques were used to characterize the structure of microspheres. The average size of the microspheres was estimated around 50...

Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) has been recognized as a simple and reliable analytical tool for characterization of industrially manufactured graphene powders. Thermal properties are dependent on many parameters such particle size, number layers, defects presence oxygen groups to improve the reliability this method quality control materials, therefore it is important explore influence these p...

PURPOSE Thermal analysis (TGA, DTG and DTA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) have been used to study the thermal behavior of terazosin hydrochloride (TER). METHODS Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA/DTG), differential thermal analysis (DTA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were used to determine the thermal behavior and purity of the used drug. Thermodynamic parameters such...

In this study a special type of silicoaluminophosphate with opal structure (Opal-SAPO) was prepared under microwave condition using tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS), triethanolamine (TEA), aluminiumisopropoxid and phosphoric acid 85%. The product was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric (TGA) and Fourier Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR).The crystalline product showed a good act...

In materials research, the development of polymer nanocomposites (PN) is rapidly emerging as a multidisciplinary research field with results that could broaden the applications of polymers to many different industries. PN are polymer matrices (thermoplastics, thermosets or elastomers) that have been reinforced with small quantities of nano-sized particles, preferably characterized by high aspec...

The reaction of isophthaloyl dichloride with 1H-1,2,4-triazole afforded the new ligand 1,3-phenylenebis(1,2,4-triazole-1-yl)methanone (1). A series of Co(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Ni(II) complexes were synthesized using 1 and then characterized by melting point analysis, elemental analysis, theoretical calculations, thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray powder diffraction, nuclear magnetic resonance,...

1. General experiments 2-(imidazol-1-yl)terephthalic acid (Im-H 2 BDC • HCl) was prepared by a similar process according to the literature. 1 Other reagents were purchased from commercial sources and used as received. N 2 and CO 2 sorption isotherms of Im-UiO-66 (1) and (I-)Meim-UiO-66 (2) were measured by using a Micrometrics ASAP 2420 instrument at 77 K and 273K, 298 K, respectively. Before t...

A variety of nanocomposites were prepared using lignin-cellulose nanofibers (L-CNF) and poly(lactic acid) (PLA) via a solvent casting process. Acid hydrolysis and high-pressure homogenization processes were used to produce L-CNF from unbleached kraft pulps. Tensile tests were conducted on thin films, and the nanocomposites containing 3 wt. % L-CNF showed a 32.4% increase in tensile strength com...

Sulfoanted poly(ether ether ketone) membranes were prepared by the sulfonating agent sulfuric acid. These membranes were modifed by incorporating conducting polymer polypyrrole in order to increase the ionic conductivity and reduce the methanol transmission rate. The modifed composite membranes were then compared on the basis of ionic conductivity, methanol transmission...
