Jute bags are widely used to carry food grains and other materials that may be prone quality deterioration due thermal fluctuation. Thermal moisture properties play a significant role in the packaging form of container. This study deals with effect microencapsulated phase change material (MPCM) hydrophobic binder on management jute fabric. fabric was treated MPCM by pad-dry-cure method. The sam...

In the present investigation, the compatibility of Atorvastatin calcium was evaluated with various superdisintegrants and other solid excipients by means of FT-IR and DSC. Several batches of tablets with varying proportion of superdisintegrants were prepared by direct compression techniques. Tablets were also evaluated for different physical properties and in-vitro drug release characteristics ...

Diblock copolymers comprising crystallizable poly(3-caprolactone) and poly{2,5-bis[(4-methoxyphenyl)oxycarbonyl]styrene} (PMPCS) were synthesized by ring-opening polymerization of 3-caprolactone and subsequent atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of MPCS. The molecular structure of the copolymers was confirmed by H NMR spectroscopy and GPC. Kinetic study of ATRP showed that the polymeriz...

Lightweight, age-hardenable aluminum alloys are attracting increasing attention as a means to reduce vehicle mass and improve fuel economy. To accelerate the adoption of these alloys, knowledge of the complex precipitation processes that underlie their primary strengthening mechanism is essential. Here we employ a combination of atom-probe tomography (APT), differential scanning calorimetry (DS...

The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of type of cross-linking method used on the properties of ambroxol hydrochloride microspheres such as encapsulation efficiency, particle size, and drug release. Microspheres were prepared by solvent evaporation technique using chitosan as a matrix-forming agent and cross-linked using formaldehyde and heat treatment. Morphological and ...

Successful implantation and placentation are dependent on the interaction between decidual stromal cells (DSC) and extravillous trophoblast (EVT) cells. The extent of trophoblast invasion relies on communication between the placenta and maternal decidua. The cyclical process of decidualisation induces a transformation of endometrial fibroblasts to secretory DSC; these secreted products have man...

The oxidative stability of microalgae oil (MO) and its enzymatic glycerolysis product (GP) have been determined by using the accelerated oxidation methods differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) Rancimat at temperatures in range 50–90 °C. Kinetic analyses MO GP provide Arrhenius activation energy enthalpy entropy, temperature coefficients, Q 10 index 20 °C (OSI ), based on secondary tertiary pr...

The thermal and oxidative stability of Atlantic salmon oil (Salmo salar L.) as well as its β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) complexation ability has been verified for the first time. The main omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA, were significantly degraded, even at 50 °C. Their relative concentrations decrease from 6.1% for EPA and 4.1% for DHA to 1.7% and 1.5% after degradation at 150 °C, respectively. On t...

Metformin hydrochloride (MET) sustained-release solid dispersions (SD) were prepared by the solvent evaporation and closed melt method, using compritol 888 ATO as the polymer with five different drug-carrier ratios. Characterization of solid dispersion was carried out by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy, Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray...
