In this study, the composites prepared from polyimide (PI) and polyaniline (PANI) were radiated with electron beam (EB) at the radiation doses of 0, 50, 150, 200, and 300 kGy. The electrical conductivity and thermal properties of the radiated composites were determined and compared with those of the composites doped with 6M HCl. The results revealed that the electrical conductivity was enhanced from 3.42 x 10-16 S/cm (untreated polyimide without polyaniline) to 6.97 x 10-5 S/cm when the PI/PANI composite was doped with HCl at 10 phr of PANI; furthermore, the conductivity was increased to 2.16 x 10-4 S/cm for the composite at 10 phr of PANI with radiation dose of 200 kGy. In addition, it was found that the glass transition temperature of the composite was increased with the increase of PANI content for either EB radiation method or protonic acid doping method. It could be noted that the electrical conductivity values of the radiated composites were higher than those of composites doped with HCl at the same PANI content.

Modification of surface of natural fibers by high energy electron beam irradiation (6 MeV) is a process for enhancing the adhesion between fiber and matrix. Composites reinforced with natural fiber have gained a prominent place in the field of research and innovation due to the advantages such as low cost, light weight and environment friendly factors. We have studied the thermal properties such as thermal degradation and crystallinity behavior of biodegradable composites using biodegradable polymer poly (lactic) acid (PLA) and fiber of luffa cylindrica (LC) fabricated by using injection molding technique. First, reinforcement LC fibers are irradiated with electron beam of 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0 and 10.0 Gy using 6 MeV linear accelerator at room temperature in presence of air. The thermal properties like glass transition temperature [Formula: see text], cold crystallization temperature [Formula: see text], melting peak temperature [Formula: see text] and thermal stability of the composites are studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) in the temperature range from 30[Formula: see text]C to 250[Formula: see text]C and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) in temperature range from 20[Formula: see text]C to 700[Formula: see text]C. The variation of these properties in response to the irradiation dose is analyzed in detail. It is observed that with increase in irradiation dose, glass transition temperature and crystallization temperature increase. However, the thermal stability of the composites is found to increase with increase in irradiation dose.

Oxide glasses having lower glass transition temperature are widely used in electric devices. The oxide glasses usually contain lead oxide. Recently, lead oxide glasses have been replaced with lead-free oxide glasses because of the environmental pollution. We investigated the thermal properties and the glass formation region in the Bi2O3-B2O3-ZnO ternary system. The results showed that the ratio of Tg/Tl of the bismate glasses is around 0.55, which is lower than the value of ratio 0.67, the two-third rule (Tg/ Tl=2/3)

Polyvinylamine (PVAm) was synthesized by Hofmann degradation of polyacrylamide (PAM). The thermal properties of the Polyvinylamine hydrochloride (PVAm•HCl) were studied by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The degradation rate (a) decreased with increasing weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of PAM and decreasing amount of NaOH, and a were the better values when the concentration of PAM was 5% and the amount of NaClO was 10 mL. DSC curves showed that the glass transition temperature (Tg) of PVAm•HCl increased with increasing Mw of PAM, concentration of NaClO and decreasing concentration of NaOH. Tg of PVAm•HCl appeared the minimum value when the concentration of PAM was 5.0%.

This study aimed to evaluate the thermodynamic properties of sorption isotherms and glass transition temperature (Tg) and the thermal properties of a dye powder obtained from turmeric extracts using spray drying. The sorption isotherms were evaluated at 15, 25 and 35 °C using the dynamic gravimetric method, wherein the isotherm data of the experiment were fit to GAB and BET models. Likewise, the Tg was measured using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was used to determine the mass loss, and the thermal properties (heat capacity, diffusivity and thermal conductivity) were determined using transient flow method. The results demonstrated that the GAB model best fit the adsorption data. The DSC analysis presented a glass transition temperature of 65.35 °C and a loss of volatiles at 178.07 °C. The TGA analysis indicated a considerable mass loss starting at 193 °C, resulting in degradation of the product. The thermal properties demonstrated a heat capacity of 2.45 J/g °C, a thermal conductivity of 0.164 ± 0.001 W/mK and a thermal diffusivity of 8.7x10-8 ± 0.000 m2/s.

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized by bioreduction method using aqueous extracts of Boesenbergia rotunda as reducing and stabilizing agents. Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometer was utilized to monitor the qualitative formation of AgNPs. The UV-Vis spectrum showed that the spherical AgNPs with diameter of 20-40 nm were formed. The antifugal activity of synthesized AgNPs was investigated using Candida albicans, which was found that the synthesized AgNPs could be used as effective growth inhibitors. The influence of the incorporation of prepared AgNPs on thermal properties of the acrylic denture base material was investigated. Glass transition temperature of filled acrylic resins was studied using the dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA). The temperature sweeps were performed with tension mode. Thermogravimetry analysis (TGA) was used to examine effect of AgNP concentration and thermocycling (1250, 2500, 5000, and 10000 cycles) on thermal stability of AgNP filled acrylic resin denture base materials. Glass transition temperature (Tg) of the acrylic resins slightly increase with increasing AgNP contents. TGA results indicated that AgNP retarded thermal degradation of acrylic resin denture material, and thermocycling did not affect thermal stability of AgNP filled acrylic resin denture material.
