A new organometallic palladium coordinated liquid crystal that is written by PdS4 has been synthesized by chelating reaction of the tetrachloropalladate (PdCl42-) and the star-like liquid crystal (S4) containing four butoxyazobenzene mesogens in its periphery. The structure and liquid crystallinity (LC) of PdS4 were characterized by infrared absorption spectroscopy (IR), ultraviolet absorption spectra (UV), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), elemental analysis (EA), polarizing optical microscope (POM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The phase behavior of PdS4 is Cr167N232I200N170Cr, its melting point and clearing temperature are higher than those of the free azo ligand S4, its mesophase range is broader than S4’s. It will be used as a new type photoelectric functional material in the future.

A series of new main-chain liquid-crystal polymers (LCPs) were prepared from sebacoyl chloride (SD) and various amount of 4, 4-Dihydroxy-2, 2-dimethyl Benzalazine (DDBA) and isosorbide (ISO). The liquid crystal (LC) properties were investigated by polarized optical microscope (POM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction measurements. P1 exhibited a typical nematic thread texture, which contains no ISO. P2-P7 are Sc* and N LCPs, which exhibited broken fan-shaped texture and droplet texture. The introduction of chiral units into the polymers led to a change of mesomorphase, as compared with P1.

A series of acylated chitosan oligosaccharides (LCSOs) were synthesized by reacting chitosan oligosaccharide (CSO) with lauroyl chloride in methane sulfonic acid. The chemical structures of LCSOs were characterized by Fourier transform infrared. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) showed that LCSOs had two phase transitions during heating. Thermoplastic chitosan oligosaccharide (LCSO-4) has distinct melting temperature (Tm) at 64 °C and 110°C. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses indicated that the crystal structure of CSO was changed through acylation and had created new crystal domains of lauroyl side chains. New strong diffraction peaks were observed around 2θ values of 20.0°, 21.5° and 26.3° for thermoplastic acylated chitosan oligosaccharide (LCSO-4). The melting and crystallization properties of thermoplastic acylated chitosan oligosaccharide were observed by polarized optical microscope (POM).

The thermoplastic graft copolymers of chitosan oligosaccharide (PHCSO-g-PCL) were successfully synthesized via ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of ε-caprolactone (CL) through an amino group protection route using phthaloyl chitosan oligosaccharide (PHCSO) as intermediate. The graft reaction was carried out in Pyridine at 120 °C with a chitosan oligosaccharide (CSO) initiator and a tin 2-ethylhexanoate (Sn (Oct)2) catalyst. The prepared copolymer was characterized by FTIR, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD). DSC analysis of PHCSO-g-PCL showed higher melting point at 54.8 °C than linear PCL. The TGA analysis showed that PHCSO-g-PCL was more thermal stable than original CSO. The banded spherulite structure of PHCSO-g-PCL and the growth of spherulite were observed by polarized optical microscope (POM); this was further proven by WAXD results.

Magnetorheological elastic polishing composites, a new type of polishing material using magnetorheological elastomers as a binder, were developed to solve the problems of low processing efficiency and difficulty controlling the machining process in current polishing technology. A set of heat–magnet–force-coupled devices was designed and used to prepare isotropic and anisotropic silicon rubber–based magnetorheological elastic polishing composites by magnetic field–assisted compression molding technology. Then, the microstructure and properties of magnetorheological elastic polishing composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction, optical microscope, electronic universal testing machine, and microscratch tester. The results show that magnetorheological elastic polishing composite is a polymer-based composite composed of rubber and micro/nanoparticles, and the magnetic field applied during the preparation process causes the interior of the magnetorheological elastic polishing composites to appear as chains and columns formed by iron particles. The compressive elastic modulus and scratch resistance of magnetorheological elastic polishing composites increase with the increase in the surrounding magnetic field strength. The main reason for the above phenomena is related to the change in the microstructure of magnetorheological elastic polishing composites induced by an external magnetic field. Finally, a simple application of magnetorheological elastic polishing composites in polishing proves that magnetorheological elastic polishing composites can be applied to mechanical processing to achieve magnetically controlled polishing.

A new kind of bowl-shaped liquid crystals were designed and synthesized by esterification. They used a calix[6]arene as central unit and ω- cholesteric alkyl diacid monoester as mesogenic arms. Their chemical structures were confirmed by FTIR and 1HNMR spectra, their mesomorphic properties and phase behavior were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarizing optical microscopy (POM) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) measurements. The results showed that the kind of calix[6]arene bowl-shaped liquid crystals N1-N3 exhibited broad range liquid crystalline phases at moderate temperature, and they displayed cholesteric phase focal-conic texture in liquid crystal states. With increasing the flexibility of monomers M1-M3, the melting point and the clearing temperature decreased in the macromolecules.

Purpose: To develop glibenclamide-nicotinamide cocrystals with the solvent evaporation method and evaluate their solubility and dissolution properties. Methods: Cocrystals of glibenclamide-nicotinamide (1:2) were prepared with the solvent evaporation method. The prediction of interactive cocrystals was observed using in silico method. The solubility and dissolution were performed as evaluation of cocrystals. The cocrystals also were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), infrared spectrophotometry, and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD). Result: The solubility and dissolution profile of glibenclamide-nicotinamide cocrystal (1:2) increased significantly compared to pure glibenclamide as well as its physical mixture. Characterization of cocrystal glibenclamide-nicotinamide (1:2) including infrared Fourier transform, DSC, and PXRD, indicated the formation of a new solid crystal phase differing from glibenclamide and nicotinamide. Conclusion: The confirmation of cocrystal glibenclamide-nicotinamide (1:2) indicated the formation of new solid crystalline phases that differ from pure glibenclamide and its physical mixture

Roxythromycin/ β-cyclodextrin (Roxy/ β-CD) dispersions were prepared with a view to study the influence of β-CD on the solubility and dissolution rate of this poorly soluble drug. Phase-solubility profile indicated that the solubility of roxythromycin was significantly increased in the presence of β-cyclodextrin and was classified as AL-type, indicating the 1:1 stoichiometric inclusion complexes. Physical characterization of the prepared systems was carried out by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction studies (XRD) and IR studies. Solid state characterization of the drug β-CD binary system using XRD, FTIR and DSC revealed distinct loss of drug crystallinity in the formulation, ostensibly accounting for enhancement of dissolution rate.

A study on the physical and mechanical properties of beeswax (BW), candelilla wax (CW), paraffin wax (PW) and blends was carried out with the aim to evaluate their usefulness as coatings for cheeses. Waxes were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), permeability, viscosity, flexural and tensile tests and scanning electron microscopy. Cheeses were coated with the waxes and stored for 5 weeks at 30 °C. Measured parameters were weight, moisture, occurrence and degree of fractures, and dimensional changes. The crystal phases identified by XRD for the three waxes allowed them to determine the length of alkanes and the nonlinear compounds in crystallizable forms in waxes. FTIR spectra showed absorption bands between 1800 and 800 cm−1 related to carbonyls in BW and CW. In DSC, the onset of melting temperature was 45.5 °C for BW, and >54 °C for CW and PW. Cheeses coated with BW did not show cracks after storage. Cheeses coated with CW and PW showed microcraks, and lost weight, moisture and shrunk. In the flexural and tensile tests, BW was ductile; CW and PW were brittle. BW blends with CW or PW displays a semi ductile behavior. Cheeses coated with BW blends lost less than 5% weight during storage. The best waxes were BW and the blends.
