Three kinds of inorganic alkali are introduced into tetraethylenepentamine (TPEA) and polyethyleneimine (PEI) modified MCM-41 as the CO2 adsorbents. FT-IR and TGA are used to characterize the surface groups and the thermal stability of adsorbents. Chemical titration method is used to measure the alkali amounts of adsorbents. Thermo-gravimetric analysis with 10%CO2/N2 as the simulated flue gas is used to test the CO2 adsorption performance of adsorbents. The results show that all three kinds of inorganic alkali containing adsorbents exhibit promoted CO2 adsorption capability than traditional TPEA and PEI modified samples. Ca(OH)2 and PEI modified samples exhibit the highest adsorption capacity and stable regeneration property. The introduction of inorganic alkali changes the chemical adsorption mechanism between CO2 and increases the effective alkali amounts due to its hydroxyl groups. The CO2 adsorption capacities have a linear dependence relation with the alkali amounts of adsorbents, indicating that alkali amount is a critical factor for novel adsorbents exploring.

Abstract The synthesis of copolymers from different feed ratios of N-(p-bromophenyl)-2- methacrylamide (PBPMA) and glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) was achieved by using free radical solution polymerization technique and characterized using FT-IR, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The thermal stability of the synthesized copolymers was studied using thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The molecular weight of the copolymer is determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The corrosion performances of low nickel stainless steel specimens dip coated with different composition of copolymers were investigated in 0.5 M H2SO4 using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopic (EIS) techniques. The polarization and impedance measurements showed different corrosion protection efficiency with change in composition of the copolymers. It was found that the corrosion protection properties are owing to the barrier effect of the polymer layer covered on the low nickel stainless steel surfaces. However, it is observed that the mole ratio of PBPMA and GMA plays a major role in the protective nature of the copolymer.

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.

To prepare alpha zirconium phosphate (α-ZrP) with high interlayer distance, grafting ratio and thermal stability, 1,2-epoxypropane was used to modify α-ZrP as the epoxy group reacting with P-OH on the external and internal surfaces of α-ZrP to form P-O-C bonds after small amines pre-intercalation. Different characterization techniques were used, including X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Thermo-Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Carbon Mass Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (13C MAS NMR). The results of XRD confirmed the pre-intercalation of amino-propane and the intercalation of 1,2-epoxypropane, as the interlayer distance increased from 7.5 Å to 16.9 Å and 15.3 Å, respectively. FT-IR and 13C MAS NMR results confirmed the formation of P-O-C bonds between 1,2-epoxypropane and α-ZrP. TGA analysis showed that the grafting ratio of 1,2-epoxypropane was 19.44%.

Drug-drug interactions have been a serious concern for pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and pharmacological profiles of therapeutic agents. The aim of this study was to carry out interactions of olmesartan medoxomil with dapagliflozin, vildagliptin and metformin, which were confirmed by TLC, HPLC and FT-IR. The newly formed complexes showed characteristic thermochemical properties in differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA). In TLC, three spots from the three complexes were found to be different from their precursor drugs. In HPLC chromatograms, the Rt (retention time) of the pure olmesartan medoxomil, dapagliflozin, vildagliptin and metformin were found to be different from their respective complexes. The FT-IR spectra obtained for drug-drug interactions were seen to demonstrate new pattern of peaks compared to pure drugs. The DSC and TGA thermograms of olmesartan medoxomil, dapagliflozin, vildagliptin and metformin were also found to be different from their complexes. All these variations from parent compounds indicated the formation of new complexes. Dhaka Univ. J. Pharm. Sci. 18(2): 271-180, 2019 (December)

AbstractTitanium nitride (TiN) nano-particles were subjected to graft modification by silane coupling agent (KH-570) via a direct blending method. The hydroxyl groups on the surface of TiN nano-particles can interact with silanol groups [-Si-OCH3] of KH-570 forming an organic coating layer. The covalent bonds (Ti-O-Si) formation was testified by Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Through transmission electron micrograph (TEM) observations, it was found that KH-570 could improve the dispersibility of nano-TiN particles in ethyl acetate. Thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) and contact angle measurements indicated that KH-570 molecules were adsorbed or anchored on the surface of nano-TiN particle and the net efficiency of it was 22.76 %, which facilitated to hinder the aggregation of nano-TiN particles.

A novel nanocomposite material consisting of hydroxyapatite (HAp) deposited on a phosphorylated bacterial cellulose (BC) has been synthesised via a biomimetic route. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) showed that phosphate groups were successfully introduced to the hydroxyl groups of BC by phosphorylation reaction to promote the growth of calcium phosphate. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and the corresponding selected area electron diffraction (SAED) patterns of HAp/BC demonstrated that HAp crystals wrap the surfaces of BC fibres. In this work, HAp/BC nanocomposites were studied using thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The TGA result suggested that HAp/BC nanocomposite, similar to natural bone in terms of composition, contained carbonate ions, in agreement with our previous Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy results. Thermal behaviour differences between BC and HAp/BC were observed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The thermal stability of HAp/BC obtained from DSC showed an improvement when compared to that of a pure BC sample.

Poly(ethersulfone)s carrying pendant sulfonated imide side group. The first step in the preparation involved nitration of poly(ethersulfone) (ultrason®-S6010), with ammonium nitrate and trifluoroacetic anhydride resulting in the nitrated poly(ethersulfone) (NO2-PES). In the second step, the nitro groups on polymer were reacted with tin(II)chloride and sodium iodide as reducing agents for creating the amino poly(ethersulfone) (NH2-PES). The imide-poly(ethersulfone)s (IPES) were obtained by reaction of phthalic anhydride and the amino-poly(ethersulfone) with triethyl amine. The sulfonated imide-poly(ethersulfone)s (SIPES) were prepared by chlorosulfonic acid. The different degrees of sulfonated imide units of poly(ethersulfone) were successfully synthesized by an optimized condition. The Sulfonated imide-poly(ethersulfone)s (SIPES) were studied by FT-IR,1H-NMR spectroscopy and thermo gravimetric analysis(TGA). Sorption experiments were conducted to observe the interaction of sulfonated polymers with water. The ion exchange capacity (IEC) and proton conductivity of SIPES membranes were evaluated with increase of degree of sulfonation. The water uptake of synthesized SIPES membranes exhibit 30 ~ 65 % compared with 28 % of Nafion 211®. The SIPES membranes exhibit proton conductivities (25 °C) of 1.21 ~ 2.62´10-3S/cm compared with 3.37´10-3S/cm of Nafion 211®.
