Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAntibacterial Activity of β-Cyclodextrin and 2-Hydroxypropyl-β-Cyclodextrin Trimethoprim ComplexesHsien-Kuo Sun, Madhumathi Seshadri, Scott Lingard et al.Problem statement: Cyclodextrin complexation has previously been shown to improve the solubility and dissolution properties of trimethoprim; however, no report provides an account of the effect cyclodextrin complexation has on the antibacterial activity of this agent. Approach: β-cyclodextrin and 2-hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin inclusion complexes of trimethoprim were prepared and confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry and proton nuclear magnetic resonance. The in-vitro … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 26 Oct 2011 · 14,801 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractControlled Release Behaviors of Tribenuron Methyl Herbicide and Potassium Nitrate Fertilizer from Natural Polymer Blended Poly(Vinyl Alcohol) Hydrogel MicrospheresFawzi Habeeb Jabrail, Wajeeh Mohammed Jamil, Maher Zeki Elsabee, Kailash Chandra GuptaPolyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) hydrogel microspheres for controlled release of fertilizer (KNO3) and Tribenuron Methyl Herbicide (TBM) were prepared by blending the naturally occurring Alginate (AL) and Pectin (PE). The cross-linking in PVA hydrogel microspheres was carried out by varying the amount of glutaraldehyde from 0.5-1.0 wt%. To control the loading and release properties of PVA hydrogel microspheres, a small amount … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 5 · 13 Jul 2019 · 7,673 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractESR and FT-IR Studies on GeO2 Substituted Lead Vanadate Semiconducting Glass SystemP. Tejeswara RaoA series of Germania-lead-vanadium pentoxide glasses with x=5, 10 and 15 mol% were prepared by melt quenching technique and they were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) and Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) techniques. X-ray diffraction results reveal that all samples are perfect amorphous in nature. Differential scanning calorimetry results indicate that the substituent … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 19 Apr 2019 · 6,793 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdvanced Manufacturing for Novel Materials in Industrial Design ApplicationsFrancesco Tamburrino, Antonio Apicella, Raffaella Aversa, Florian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuThe research presented starts with a focus on Smart Materials, or rather materials with properties that react to external stimuli (temperature, electric or magnetic field, pH or mechanical stress, for example) related to the environmental changes, modifying one or some of their own properties (mechanical, electrical, appearance, etc.). Afterward, one category of Smart Materials, Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs), has been … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 30 May 2018 · 8,535 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSmart-Factory: Optimization and Process Control of Composite Centrifuged PipesRaffaella Aversa, Relly Victoria V. Petrescu, Florian Ion T. Petrescu, Antonio ApicellaProcess optimization strategies and intelligent control algorithms for an industrial centrifugal pipe production are presented. The chemo-rheological and thermo-kinetic features of the polymerization of unsaturated polyester based composites are analyzed by means of a mathematical model that uses the heat transfer and generation properties of polymerizable systems. The evolution of the system temperature, viscosity and degree of cure profiles in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 11 · 29 Nov 2016 · 8,906 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOsmotic Tension, Plasticization and Viscoelastic response of amorphous Poly-Ether-Ether-Ketone (PEEK) equilibrated in humid environmentsAversa Raffaella, Apicella AntonioDynamic-Mechanical Analysis (DMA), Differential scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and water moisture sorption-desorption kinetics and equilibria have been parallely investigated to monitoring the environmental and thermal sensitivity of amorphous thermoplastic Poly-Ether-Ether-Ketone (PEEK). Morphological modification occurring in PEEK during the calorimetric and thermo-mechanical characterizations and the hygrothermal stability are presented. An interpretation based on the free energy of mixing of a polymer chains … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 14 Jul 2016 · 8,457 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFactors Affecting Chemo-physical and Rheological Behaviour of Zr44-Ti11-Cu10-Ni10-Be25 Metal Glassy Alloy Supercooled LiquidsApicella Antonio, Aversa RaffaellaSegregation by selective cold crystallizations and glass transition changes in Zr44-Ti11-Cu10-Ni10-Be25 metal supercooled metastable liquid annealed at different temperatures have been theoretically correlated to melt viscosity modifications. Crystallization behavior has been found to be principally related to the high mobility and smaller Be, Cu and Ni atoms. Multiple exothermal peaks in isothermal DSC annealing’s have been observed in these bulk … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 25 Feb 2016 · 8,142 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimultaneous Thermodynamic and Kinetic Parameters Determination Using Differential Scanning CalorimetryNader Frikha, Mohamed Bouroukba, Eric Schaer, Jean-Leon HouzelotProblem statement: The determination of reaction kinetics is of major importance, as for industrial reactors optimization as for environmental reasons or energy limitations. Although calorimetry is often used for the determination of thermodynamic parameters alone, the question that arises is: how can we apply the Differential Scanning Calorimetry for the determination of kinetic parameters. The objective of this study consists … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 12 Mar 2011 · 7,986 accessesView PDFCite
