Abstract The goal of this work was the study of drug-excipient interactions of ternary mixtures between diclofenac sodium when introduced with excipients commonly explored in solid dosage formulas such as microcrystalline cellulose and stearic acid obtained by three methods. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) (DSC), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the structural characterization technique of diffraction (XRPD) were used to investigate the characterization and potential physical and chemical interactions of solid products of diclofenac sodium with excipients prepared by different methods. This work revealed a possible interaction between diclofenac sodium, microcrystalline cellulose, and stearic acid in mixture prepared by microwave irradiation also; it was found compatibility for ternary mixtures prepared by physical mixture and co evaporation methods. Results of this study can be useful in the development of the method of preparation and select adequate excipients with suitable compatibility.

The composites of PP/Talc modified by stearic acid were prepared and its effect on the properties of PP/Talc composites was investigated in this paper. The tensile strength and impact strength of PP/Talc composites increased about 15% and 30% compared with pure PP respectively. Based on surface analysis by scanning electron microscope (SEM), the Talcparticles buried well in PP matrix when the Talc was coated with the stearic acid. At the same time, it was found that Talc significantly increased the crystallization temperature and crystallization rate of PP by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).

AbstractThe structure and properties of transparent ZnO–SnO_2 photocatalytic coatings formed on glass surfaces by the polymer–salt method are studied. The physical and chemical processes occurring during formation of the coatings are studied by differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction analysis. The structure and optical properties of the obtained thin oxide films are studied by optical spectroscopy, photoluminescence, and scanning electron microscopy. It is shown that the polymer–salt method allows formation of homogeneous and transparent ZnO–SnO_2 coatings consisting of oxide nanoparticles completely covering the glass substrate surface. It is found that the formed transparent ZnO–SnO_2 coatings have high photocatalytic properties and can generate singlet oxygen under action of UV radiation.

CaCO3 whiskers were treated by stearic acid and the surface property of the treated whisker were evaluated by activation index. When the mass fraction of stearic acid was 4.0%, activation exponential increased to 80.0% almost from zero. The composites were prepared by blending with polypropylene and the treated whiskers. The performance of the composites, such as thermal behavior, mechanical properties and microstructure, were analyzed with differential scanning calorimetry, scanning electron microscopy and tensile testing. The results showed that CaCO3 whisker played heterogeneous nucleation to induce crystalline behavior of PP phase in the blends and the crystallization rate of PP phase also increased because of CaCO3 whiskers intervening. Moreover thermo-decomposing temperature and tensile strengths of the blends all increased with increasing whisker content, except a little less than that of pure PP as filling 3.22% CaCO3 whiskers, but the elongation at break increased with increasing whisker content.

  Objective: The aim of this study is to develop and validate simple, accurate, and precise spectrophotometric methods for the simultaneous determination of diclofenac sodium (DIC), paracetamol (PAR), and chlorzoxazone (CHZ) in ternary mixture using chemometric and artificial neural networks (ANN) techniques.Methods: Three chemometric techniques include classical least squares (CLS), principal component regression (PCR), and partial least squares (PLS) in addition to cascade-forward backpropagation ANN (CFBP-ANN) were prepared using the synthetic mixtures containing the three drugs in methanol. In CLS, PCR, and PLS, the absorbances of the synthetic mixtures in the range 267-295 nm with the intervals Δλ=0.2 nm in their zero-order spectra were selected. Then, calibration or regression was obtained using the absorbance data matrix and concentration data matrix for the prediction of the unknown concentrations of DIC, PAR, and CHZ in their mixtures. In CFBP-ANN, two layers, sigmoid layer with 10 neurons and linear layer were found appropriate for the simultaneous determination of the three drugs in their ternary mixture.Results: The four proposed methods were successfully applied to the analysis of the three drugs in laboratory prepared mixtures and tablets with good percentage recoveries in the range of 98-102%. Relative standard deviation for the precision study was found <1%.Conclusion: The four proposed methods showed simplicity, accuracy, precision, and rapidity making them suitable for quality control and routine analysis of the cited drugs in ternary mixtures and pharmaceutical formulation containing them.

The surface of magnesium hydroxide (MH) was modified with stearic acid (SA). The modification mechanism was analyzed using a scanning electron microscope, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results showed that an esterification reaction occurred between SA and MH. The modification effect was evaluated by activation index and oil absorbance rate. The results indicated that the optimum technological conditions were as follows: SA dosage was 1.25 wt. % at 70 °C for 10 min at a stirring rate of 2000 rpm. As a result, both dispersion and hydrophobicity of modified MH were remarkably improved.

The most efficient tablet processing method is direct compression. For this method, the filler-binder can be made by coprocessing via spray drying method. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of spray dried co-processing on microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) PH 101, lactose and Kollidon® K 30 as well as to define the optimum proportions. Spray dried MCC PH 101, lactose, and Kollidon® K 30 were varied in 13 different mixture design proportions to obtain compact, free-flowing filler-binder co-processed excipients (CPE). Compactibility and flow properties became the key parameters to determine the optimum proportions of CPE that would be compared to their physical mixtures. The result showed that the optimum proportion of CPE had better compactibility and flow properties than the physical mixtures. The optimum CPE, consisting of only MCC PH 101 and Kollidon® K 30 without lactose, that were characterized using infrared spectrophotometer, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscope (SEM) indicated no chemical change therein. Therefore, this study showed that spray dried MCC PH 101, lactose and Kollidon® K 30 could be one of the filler-binder alternatives for direct compression process.

We investigated the effect of the type and amount of expandable graphite (EG) and blackcurrant pomace (BCP) on the flammability, thermal stability, mechanical properties, physical, and chemical structure of viscoelastic polyurethane foams (VEF). For this purpose, the polyurethane foams containing EG, BCP, and EG with BCP were obtained. The content of EG varied in the range of 3–15 per hundred polyols (php), while the BCP content was 30 php. Based on the obtained results, it was found that the additional introduction of BCPs into EG-containing composites allows for an additive effect in improving the functional properties of viscoelastic polyurethane foams. As a result, the composite containing 30 php of BCP and 15 php of EG with the largest particle size and expanded volume shows the largest change in the studied parameters (hardness (H) = 2.65 kPa (+16.2%), limiting oxygen index (LOI) = 26% (+44.4%), and peak heat release rate (pHRR) = 15.5 kW/m2 (−87.4%)). In addition, this composite was characterized by the highest char yield (m600 = 17.9% (+44.1%)). In turn, the change in mechanical properties is related to a change in the physical and chemical structure of the foams as indicated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis.

The aim of the presented research was to obtain reconstituted atelocollagen fibers after extraction from poultry cartilage using the pepsin-acidic method in order to remove telopeptides from the tropocollagen. Firstly, we examined the extraction of collagen from the cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM) after proteoglycans (PG) had been removed by the action of salts, i.e., NaCl or chaotropic MgCl2. Additionally, the effects of the salt type used for PG and hyaluronic acid removal on the properties of self-assembled fibers in solutions at pH 7.4 and freeze-dried matrices were investigated. The basic features of the obtained fibers were characterized, including thermal properties using scanning calorimetry, rheological properties using dynamic oscillatory rheometry, and the structure by scanning electron microscopy. The fibers obtained after PG removal with both analyzed types of salts had similar thermal denaturation characteristics. However, the fibers after PG removal with NaCl, in contrast to those obtained after MgCl2 treatment, showed different rheological properties during gelatinization and smaller diameter size. Moreover, the degree of fibrillogenesis of collagens after NaCl treatment was complete compared to that with MgCl2, which was only partial (70%). The structures of fibers after lyophilization were fundamentally different. The matrices obtained after NaCl pretreatment form regular scaffolds in contrast to the thin, surface structures of the cartilage matrix after proteoglycans removal using MgCl2.

In this work, polymeric membranes functionalized with ionic liquids (ILs) and exfoliated graphene nanoplatelets (xGnP) were developed and characterized. These membranes based on graphene ionanofluids (IoNFs) are promising materials for gas separation. The stability of the selected IoNFs in the polymer membranes was determined by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The morphology of membranes was characterized using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and interferometric optical profilometry (WLOP). SEM results evidence that upon the small addition of xGnP into the IL-dominated environment, the interaction between IL and xGnP facilitates the migration of xGnP to the surface, while suppressing the interaction between IL and Pebax®1657. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was also used to determine the polymer–IoNF interactions and the distribution of the IL in the polymer matrix. Finally, the thermodynamic properties and phase transitions (polymer–IoNF) of these functionalized membranes were studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). This analysis showed a gradual decrease in the melting point of the polyamide (PA6) blocks with a decrease in the corresponding melting enthalpy and a complete disappearance of the crystallinity of the polyether (PEO) phase with increasing IL content. This evidences the high compatibility and good mixing of the polymer and the IoNF.

Polybenzoxazines are emerging as a class of high-performance thermoset polymers that can find their applications in various fields. However, its practical application is limited by its low toughness. The cyclic β-cyclodextrin and a newly synthesized derivative (β-cyclodextrin-MAH) were separately blended with benzoxazine to improve the toughness of polybenzoxazine. The results revealed that the maximum impact strength of the blend was 12.24 kJ·m−2 and 14.29 kJ·m−2 when 1 wt.% of β-Cyclodextrin and β-Cyclodextrin-MAH, respectively, were used. The strengths were 53% and 86% higher than that of pure polybenzoxazine. The curing reaction, possible chemical structures, and fractured surface were examined using differential scanning calorimetry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy techniques to understand the mechanism of generation of toughness. The results revealed that the sea-island structure and the presence of hydrogen bonds between polybenzoxazine and β-cyclodextrin and β-cyclodextrin-MAH resulted in the generation of toughness. Furthermore, the curves generated during thermogravimetric analysis did not significantly change, revealing the good thermal properties of the system. The phase-separated structure and the hydrogen bonds present in the system can be exploited to prepare synergistically tough polybenzoxazine exhibiting excellent thermal properties. This can be a potential way of modifying the thermoset resins.
