AbstractDecomposition of the Y2BaCuO5 in C02 was studied using simultaneous thermal analysis (STA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The time derivative to the thermo-gravimetric analysis data (DTG) was used to calculate the activation energy. The activation energy of decomposition by CO2 into barium carbonate, copper oxide and yttrium oxide was found to be <

Here we focus on the thermal and variable temperature electrochemical stabilities of two ionic liquids (ILs) having a common tributyloctyl phosphonium cation [P4,4,4,8]+ and two different orthoborate anions: bis(mandelato)borate [BMB]− and bis(salicylato)borate [BScB]−. The thermo-gravimetric analysis data suggest that [P4,4,4,8][BScB] is thermally more stable than [P4,4,4,8][BMB] in both nitrogen atmosphere and air, while the impedance spectroscopy reveals that [P4,4,4,8][BScB] has higher ionic conductivity than [P4,4,4,8][BMB] over the whole studied temperature range. In contrast, the electrochemical studies confirm that [P4,4,4,8][BMB] is more stable and exhibits a wider electrochemical stability window (ESW) on a glassy carbon electrode surface as compared to [P4,4,4,8][BScB]. A continuous decrease in the ESWs of both ILs is observed as a function of operation temperature.

The paper presents the synthesis and characterization of Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cd(II), Zn(II) and Hg(II) complexes with N1-[4-(4-bromo-phenylsulfonyl)-benzoyl]-N4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-thiosemicarbazide. The new compounds were characterized by IR, EPR, electronic spectroscopy, magnetic moments, thermo-gravimetric analysis and elemental analysis.

An ethyl acetate extract from of Nervilia fordii (NFE) with considerable suppression activity on lipid peroxidation (LPO) was first obtained with total phenolic and flavonoid contents and anti-LPO activity (IC50) of 86.67 ± 2.5 mg GAE/g sample, 334.56 ± 4.7 mg RE/g extract and 0.307 mg/mL, respectively. In order to improve its stability and expand its application in antioxidant packaging, the nano-encapsulation of NFE within poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and polyvinyl(pyrrolidone) (PVP) bio-composite film was then successfully developed using electrospinning. SEM analysis revealed that the NFE-loaded fibers exhibited similar morphology to the neat PVA/PVP fibers with a bead-free and smooth morphology. The encapsulation efficiency of NFE was higher than 90% and the encapsulated NFE still retained its antioxidant capacity. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the successful encapsulation of NFE into fibers and their compatibility, and the thermal stability of which was also improved due to the intermolecular interaction demonstrated by thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA). The ability to preserve the fish oil’s oxidation and extend its shelf-life was also demonstrated, suggesting the obtained PVA/PVP/NFE fiber mat has the potential as a promising antioxidant food packaging material.

Polysiloxane resin copolymer was synthesized through acid catalyzed hydrolysis of methyl triethoxysilane (MTEOS) and diethoxytetramethyldisiloxane (DEOTMDS). The effect of reaction time on the properties of the polymer was studied and this copolymer was characterized by GPC, 29Si NMR, IR, TGA, viscosity, refractive index, specific gravity and solid content. 29Si NMR and IR showed characteristic signals of Si-O-Si linkage which confirmed the formation of the polymer. GPC and solid content analysis showed an increasing trend in molecular weight with reaction time. Thermo gravimetric analysis showed that the polymer was thermally stable upto ≈ 260°C and all the polymers gave a ceramic residue in the range of 77-80% at 900°C. Siloxane prepared inhouse and methyl phenyl silsequioxane (control) were used as coating materials and atomic oxygen (AO) resistance was evaluated on Al-Kapton, carbon polyimide composite and glass polyimide composite. The mass loss and surface morphology of the coated samples were measured at different time intervals. It is observed that mass loss of polysiloxane coated samples was very less, compared to coated control samples. The morphology of all the samples were studied using FESEM. Erosion kinetics and surface morphology investigation indicate that the polysiloxane coating possesses excellent AO resistance, and displays better cracking resistance on AO exposure.

With a thermo gravimetric analysis apparatus combustion characteristics experiments of coal residue cornstalk and mixtures of them were done at 20 C/min heating rate. Then the combustion characteristic Parameters were obtained by above experiments. The c combustion activation energies were acquired by kinetics analysis. The results show those: the ignition characteristic and synthesis combustion characteristic of coal residue are bad. The ignition characteristic and synthesis combustion characteristic of cornstalk are better. The combustion characteristics of the mixture of coal residue and cornstalk are determined by mixing ratio. The ratio of cornstalk is more and the synthesis combustion characteristic is better.

In this study, some new chitosan materials were synthesized by the grafting of chitosan with the monomers such as 1-vinylimidazole (VIM), methacrylamide (MAm) and 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid (AMPS). First of all, chitosan methacrylate was prepared by esterification of primary -OH group with methacryloyl chloride a 25.13% yield by mole. The monomers were grafted into chitosan methacrylate via free radical polymerization using 2,2and#39;-Azobisisobutyronitrile as an initiator in N,N-dimethylformamide. The graft copolymers were characterized by FT-IR spectra and elemental analysis. Thermal stabilities of the graft copolymers were determined by TGA (thermo gravimetric analysis) method. The synthesized chitosan methacrylate and its graft copolymers were tested for their antimicrobial activity against bacteria and yeast.
