Abstract From the data presented in this paper, it is concluded that fillers can be coupled with certain types of fluoroelastomer base polymers. A useful coupling agent must have mechanical and thermal properties at least equivalent to the base polymer in order to provide an improvement in properties for the compound under extreme service conditions. For the particular case of peroxide-curable fluoroelastomers and carbon fillers, hydroxy-terminated low-molecular-weight polybutadienes with high 1,2-microstructure appear to be good coupling agents. Care must be exercised in selecting the peroxide level to obtain a high crosslink density of the coupling agent while retaining rubberlike properties of the compound. This type of polybutadienediol has a relatively high number of reactive vinyl groups (approximately 20 per molecule) and relatively high molecular weight. Based upon the hypotheses presented in this paper, that coupling between carbon black and fluoroelastomers has been demonstrated for the first time, both higher molecular weight and multifunctionality of the polybutadienediol are viewed as important characteristics for effective performance.

Abstract In this work, from an endemic and non-significant value-added bamboo argentine, nanofibrils (CNFs) of 20 nm in width were obtained. These nanofibrils were chemical modified in surface with three simple steps using a noncommercial low molecular weight polylactic acid. The success of modification was confirmed by FTIR, TGA, DSC and XRD analysis. The modified nanofibrils were taken up for changing surface properties in films based on commercial PLA. The results show that dispersive (γ D/S) component of films increase of 34.7 mN/m to 36.1 mN/m after the addition of modified nanofibrils from 2 to 5% in formulation of the films, comparing with a physical blend. Interesting others result in physical, mechanical, and thermal properties of the nanocomposites, were reported.

Low molecular weight secondary metabolites of marine fungi Aspergillus flocculosus, Aspergillus terreus and Penicillium sp. from Van Phong and Nha Trang Bays (Vietnam) were studied and a number of polyketides, bis-indole quinones and terpenoids were isolated. The structures of the isolated compounds were determined by 1D and 2D NMR and HR-ESI-MS techniques. Stereochemistry of some compounds was established based on ECD data. A chemical structure of asterriquinone F (6) was thoroughly described for the first time. Anthraquinone (13) was firstly obtained from a natural source. Neuroprotective influences of the isolated compounds against 6-OHDA, paraquat and rotenone toxicity were investigated. 4-Hydroxyscytalone (1), 4-hydroxy-6-dehydroxyscytalone (2) and demethylcitreoviranol (3) have shown significant increasing of paraquat- and rotenone-treated Neuro-2a cell viability and anti-ROS activity.

Abstract The use of direct oral anticoagulant in cancer patients is an emerging issue, which seems to be an alternative to low molecular weight heparin. Every year several new drugs are approved as anticancer treatment with possible drug-drug interaction with other drugs such as oral anticoagulant. We describe, for the first time, a case of neutropenia and thrombocytopenia in a patient in treatment with cabozantinib, a novel anticancer treatment used in metastatic renal cell carcinoma, and apixaban with promptly resumption of the toxicity after the interruption of cabozantinib. This case suggest a possible interaction between these two pharmaceutical agents, which merit caution considering the spreading of the two drugs.

The presence of a cellulase inhibitor in the wheat bran culture of a fungus is reported for the first time. The inhibitor has a low molecular weight and is relatively stable to heat. It is absent from wheat bran and is not produced in a chemically defined medium. Unlike cellulase inhibitors of plant origin, this inhibitor is not a polyphenol. It inhibits the hydrolysis of cotton to a greater degree than that of filter paper or carboxymethylcellulose. In addition to inhibiting Aspergillus terreus cellulase, it also inhibits a variety of commercial cellulases.

Abstract In the present investigation, low density polyethylene (LDPE)/organoclay nanocomposites with various clay contents (1–7 wt%) were prepared via a melt mixing technique, using two different compatibilizers with various contents; low molecular weight trimethoxysilyl-modified polybutadiene (Organosilane) and low molecular weight oxidized polyethylene (OxPE). The effects of incorporation of compatibilizers and clay contents on the mechanical and thermal properties of the nanocomposites were investigated. The dispersibility of silicate clay in the nanocomposites was investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It was found that organosilane yielded better clay dispersion and a more exfoliated structure compared with the OxPE. Rheological behavior of the samples was examined by a dynamic oscillatory rheometer in the linear viscoelastic region. The organosilane compatibilized system conferred higher tensile strength, yield strength and tensile modulus than those of an uncompatibilized system, and even higher than those of the OxPE compatibilized case. The crystallization behaviors of uncompatibilized and compatibilized nanocomposites were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). DSC results indicated that the addition of compatibilizers increased the crystallization temperature (Tc) as a result of heterogeneous nucleation effect of clay on LDPE.

SiBCN microtubes were prepared for the first time by spinning a low molecular weight preceramic polymers of boron-modified polyvinylsilazanes into green fibers ~30 m in diameter which were subsequently thermolyzed under a nitrogen atmosphere. Hollow SiBCN ceramic fibers black colored, of flexible form, ~20 m in diameter and 0.8GPa in tensile strength were produced.
