Abstract Synthesis of thermochromic VO2 (M) was successfully done by annealing hydrothermally-prepared VO2 (B) at different temperatures and times. Conversion of the metastable VO2 (B) to the thermochromic VO2 polymorph was studied using thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) under N2 atmosphere. Moreover, the phase and morphology of the synthesized samples were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), respectively. Accordingly, the XRD scans of all the annealed samples exhibited the presence of monoclinic VO2 (M), while the FE-SEM images of the samples showed the formation of nanorods and nanospheres, particularly those heated at high temperatures (650 °C and 700 °C). Meanwhile, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to measure the phase transition temperature (τc), hysteresis, and enthalpy of the prepared VO2. Based on these results, all samples displayed a τc of about 66 °C. However, the hysteresis was high for the samples annealed at lower temperatures (550 °C and 600 °C), while the enthalpy was very low for samples heated at lower annealing time (1.5 h and 1 h). These findings showed that crystallinity and nanostructure formation affected the thermochromic properties of the samples. In particular, the sample annealed at 650 °C showed better crystallinity and improved thermochromic behavior.

Thermally stable polyimides (PIs) were prepared by condensation technique at 160 ºC for 5 hours in N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) medium under N2 atmosphere both in the presence and absence of metal (Ag) and metaloxide (MO) (V2O5) nanoparticles (NPs). The synthesized polymers are characterized by Fourier Transform Infra Red (FT-IR) spectroscopy, 1H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy, Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersive X-Ray (FE-SEM and EDX). The FT-IR spectrum showed a peak at 1786 cm-1 corresponding to the C=O stretching of dianhydride. The aromatic proton signals appeared between 6.7 and 7.5 ppm in the 1H-NMR spectrum of the resultant PIs. The oxydianiline (ODA) based PI with Ag NP loaded system exhibited the highest Tg value. The apparent rate constant values for the adsorption and catalytic reduction of p-nitrophenol (PNP), Cr6+ and rhodamine 6G (R6G) dye were determined with the help of UV-visible spectrophotometer. Among the catalysts, the system loaded with V2O5 NP has higher kapp values. The experimental results are critically analyzed and compared with the previously available literature values.

Pada penetitian ini pembentukan kokristal asam usnat-N-methyl-D-glucamine bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kelarutan dan laju disolusi asam usnat serta uji efektivitasnya dalam kadar IL-8 pada tikus inflamasi. Kokristal asam usnat–N-methyl-D-glucamine dibuat dengan perbandingan 1:1 ekuimola dengan metode penguapan pelarut menggunakan etanol. Karakterisasi sampel dilakukan dengan difraksi sinar-X, Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), dan Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Evaluasi kokristal yang dilakukan mencakup uji kelarutan, uji laju disolusi, dan penentuan kadar interleukin-8 (IL-8) pada tikus inflamasi. Uji kelarutan dilakukan menggunakan pelarut air suling bebas CO2 sedangkan uji laju disolusi menggunakan media air suling bebas CO2 0.25% (b/v) sodium lauril sulfat (SLS), kedua larutan uji dianalisis menggunakan spektrofotometer UV-Vis. Pemeriksaan IL-8 tikus inflamasi menggunakan metode ELISA. Hasil karakterisasi difraksi sinar-X menunjukkan profil difraktogram yang berbeda dari komponen penyusun yang mengindikasikan terbentuknya fase kokristal. Hasil termogram DSC menunjukkan adanya puncak endotermik baru yang berbeda dengan kedua komponen penyusun. Spektrum FT-IR menunjukkan terjadinya pergeseran bilangan gelombang pada spektrum kokristal dibandingkan spektrum asam usnat dan N-methyl-D-glucamine. Analisis SEM menunjukkan perubahan morfologi partikel. Kelarutan dan laju disolusi kokristal meningkat secara signifikan (P<0,05) sebanyak 24 kali dan 23 kali dibandingkan dengan senyawa asam usnat murni. Kokristal dapat menurunkan kadar IL-8 pada tikus inflamasi yang setara dengan aktivitas antiinflamasi asetosal (P<0,05). Disimpulkan bahwa koristal asam usnat - N-methyl-D-glucamine dapat meningkatkan kelarutan, laju disolusi, dan menurunkan kadar IL-8 tikus inflamasi.

The wide damping maximum which is reported to appear in bones, involving both cortical and cancellous parts, between around 280 K and 420 K; has been determined to be a composition of different processes taking place at different temperatures in cancellous and cortical parts. In fact, in the present work the mechanical response of cow ribs bones has been analysed by coupling mechanical spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetry and scanning electron microscopy studies. Cancellous part develops two damping maxima at around 320 K and 350 K. Cortical part exhibits a wide maximum in damping between around 310 K and 410 K and another damping relaxation between 390 K and 410 K. The physical-chemical driving force giving rise to the above relaxation processes are discussed.

The aim of the presented research was to obtain reconstituted atelocollagen fibers after extraction from poultry cartilage using the pepsin-acidic method in order to remove telopeptides from the tropocollagen. Firstly, we examined the extraction of collagen from the cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM) after proteoglycans (PG) had been removed by the action of salts, i.e., NaCl or chaotropic MgCl2. Additionally, the effects of the salt type used for PG and hyaluronic acid removal on the properties of self-assembled fibers in solutions at pH 7.4 and freeze-dried matrices were investigated. The basic features of the obtained fibers were characterized, including thermal properties using scanning calorimetry, rheological properties using dynamic oscillatory rheometry, and the structure by scanning electron microscopy. The fibers obtained after PG removal with both analyzed types of salts had similar thermal denaturation characteristics. However, the fibers after PG removal with NaCl, in contrast to those obtained after MgCl2 treatment, showed different rheological properties during gelatinization and smaller diameter size. Moreover, the degree of fibrillogenesis of collagens after NaCl treatment was complete compared to that with MgCl2, which was only partial (70%). The structures of fibers after lyophilization were fundamentally different. The matrices obtained after NaCl pretreatment form regular scaffolds in contrast to the thin, surface structures of the cartilage matrix after proteoglycans removal using MgCl2.

The super-tough bio-based nylon was prepared by melt extrusion. In order to improve the compatibility between bio-based nylon and elastomer, the elastomer POE was grafted with maleic anhydride. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) were used to study the compatibility and micro-distribution between super-tough bio-based nylon and toughened elastomers. The results of mechanical strength experiments show that the 20% content of POE-g-MAH has the best toughening effect. After toughening, the toughness of the super-tough nylon was significantly improved. The notched impact strength was 88 kJ/m2 increasing by 1700%, which was in line with the industrial super-tough nylon. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) were used to study the crystallization behavior of bio-based PA56, and the effect of bio-based PA56 with high crystallinity on mechanical properties was analyzed from the microstructure.
