nclusion complex of cholesterol:β-cyclodextrin (CβIC) was characterized for thermal analysis by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The difference of endothermic peak between inclusion compounds of cholesterol:β-cyclodextrin (CβIC) with pure cholesterol and β-cyclodextrin endothermic peaks confirmed the formation of inclusion complex. SEM results showed that of cholesterol:β-cyclodextrin inclusion complex (CβIC) observed in the form of irregular crystalline particles which has different morphology from CHO and βCD. The results obtained from this study will able to give valuable information about cholesterol-reduced egg yolk properties that could be useful to produce healthy-egg yolk based products.

Fiberglass continuous strand mat(CSM)/poly(urethane-isocyanurate) composites were formed by SRIM process, treated under different conditions and then characterized based on dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) ,transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and the mechanical property tests. The results show that the mechanical properties of the composites could be increased with improving the degree of microphase separation. At a given temperature (120°C), the degree of microphase separation is the highest for 4h and decreases gradually with prolonging treatment time. For a given time (4h), the well microphase-separated morphology is obtained and the degree of microphase mixing is increased at 120°C and 140°C treatments, respectively. The degree of microphase separation of the composites decreases with enhancing the temperature to 140°C.

Imidacloprid-β-cyclodextrin (IMI-β-CD) inclusion complex was synthesized and effectively incorporated into filament yarns of polypropylene. The physical and thermal properties of IMI-β-CD inclusion complex were determined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry. According to the results, formation of the inclusion complex was achieved along with enhanced thermal stability. The release profile of imidacloprid was monitored by high-performance chromatography measurements. Dissolution time of the IMI-β-CD inclusion complex was increased to 5 times that of the neat imidacloprid (from 9 h to 48 h). Poylpropylene filament yarns containing 3 wt.% IMI-β-CD inclusion complex released 84 wt.% of IMI within 21 days.

In order to increase the solubility of ursolic acid, the inclusion complexes of ursolic acid with γ-cyclodextrin were prepared by grinding, ultrasonic and stirring methods. The characterizations of the inclusion complexes were proved by x-ray powder diffraction, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and scanning electron microscopy. The results confirmed the interactions of ursolic acid with γ-cyclodextrin, indicating the formation of the inclusion complexes. In addition, grinding method is a better way of preparing inclusion complex of ursolic acid with γ-cyclodextrin.

Background: The electrospinning and the bubble electrospinning provide facile ways for the fabrication of functional nanofibers by incorporating rutin/hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin inclusion complex (RT/HP-β-CD-IC) in Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA). Few patents on incorporation of rutin and cyclodextrin in nanofibers has been reported. Objective: The study aimed at increasing the loading amount of rutin in the electrospun nanofibers to obtain ultraviolet resistant property. Methods: Rutin was encapsulated in the cavity of RT/HP-β-CD and formed an inclusion complex. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) was used to verify the formation of inclusion complexes. Results: The results showed that the inclusion between rutin and HP-β-CD had been successfully formed. The surface morphologies of nanofibrous membranes were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), which indicated that adding RT/HP-β-CD inclusion complexes had little influence on the morphologies and diameters of the fibers. Ultraviolet resistant results also confirmed the inclusion complex had increased the loading amount in the final nanofibrous mats, and thus had good ultraviolet resistant properties. Conclusion: The formed inclusion complexes had obviously enhanced the loading amount of rutin in electrospun PVA nanofibers, indicating that encapsulation of rutin in the cavity of HP-β-CD is a good way to increase the loading amount.

In the present work, the microstructure evolution of Mg-4Al-2.5Ca alloy during solidification was investigated by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results showed that the as-cast microstructure was typical dendritic structure, consisting of α-Mg and the Al2Ca with a C15 structure formed at inter-dendritic regions. But during slow solidification, the sequence of phase formation of this alloy consisted of following stages: L→ L + α-Mg → L + α-Mg + (Mg, Al)2Ca → α-Mg + (Mg, Al)2Ca + Al2Ca → α-Mg + Al2Ca. Thermal analysis showed that the (Mg, Al)2Ca and Al2Ca phase separation temperature was about 520°C and 510°C respectively, which is different from thermodynamic calculation. With the temperature decreasing, the liquid (Mg, Al)2Ca phase with thick and continuous morphology transformed into lamellar-shaped eutectic phase, and parts of (Mg, Al)2Ca phase translated into Al2Ca phase with bone-shaped and needle-like.

The influence of cooling rates on the solidification and microstructure of rapidly solidified quasicrystal alloy Mg70.8Zn28Nd1.2(at.%) was investigated. The microstructure, phase constitution, phase transition and phase structure of the alloys were examined by means of scanning electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, energy dispersive spectrometer, differential scanning calorimetry. The experimental results showed that the phase composition of as-cast Mg70.8Zn28Nd1.2 alloy includes quasicrystal I-phase and Mg7Zn3 phase. For the rapidly solidified alloy ribbons, when the speed is not higher than 400 r/min, the microstructure includes I-phase, Mg7Zn3 phase and α-Mg phase. When the speed is at the range of 400-2000r/min, the Mg7Zn3 phase disappears and only quasicrystal with α-Mg phase exist. With the increase of cooling rate, the grain size decreases and there are a large number of microcrystals in the microstructure. When the speed reaches higher than 2500 r/min, amorphous phase appeared. Differential thermal analysis showed that quasicrystal exist at about 340°C.
