The dispersion of nZnOp in copolymer matrixes and the effects of PEG and nZnOp particles on the crystallization behavior of the composites are studied by TEM, differential scanning calorimetry(DSC), XRD and Fourier thansform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR ). The results reveal that nZnOp particles are dispersed in the matrixes with nano-scale, and the addition of PEG induces more homogeneous dispersion of nZnOp. Simultaneously, these nanoparticles become nucleating centers during the crystallization of the matrixes. PEG segments can improve the flexibility of the PET molecular chain, resulting in the drop of the cold crystallization temperature and the rise of the crystallization rate of the composites. Furthermore, PEG (4 000) with the mass fraction of 10% can promote the crystallization rate of the composites. The mechanical properties show that the nano-particles strengthen and toughen the PET matrix, whereas PEG weakens these improve- ments.展开更多

However, visualization of the small bowel during video capsule endoscopy can be impaired by intestinal contents. To improve mucosal visualization, some authors have evaluated different regimens of preparation. There is no consensus about the necessity of intestinal preparation for capsule endoscopy and it should be interesting to develop adequate guidelines to improve its efficacy and tolerability. Moreover, the effect of preparation type (purgative) on intestinal transit time is not clear. Since a bowel preparation cannot defini-tively improve its visibility (and theoretically the yield of the test), it is not routinely recommended.展开更多

Furthermore, several representative properties of the polyurethanes, such as moisture permeability, water resistance, hydrophilic property, and phase inversion temperature, were investigated. The studies show that the structure and concentration of soft segment have a remarkable effect on the main application properties of polyurethane. On the contrary, the functional properties of the polyurethane are almost not affected by its hard segment.展开更多

In this study, using 5-fluorouracil(5-FU)as electronegative model drug, a new type of organic-inorganic hybrid drug delivery system(LDH/HA-PEG/5-FU)was conceived and manufactured by the adsorption of PEGylated hyaluronic acid(HA-PEG)on the surface of layered double hydroxide(LDH, prepared via hydrothermal method)and the intercalation of 5-FU in the interlamination of LDH via ion exchange strategy. The drug loading amount of LDH/HA-PEG/5-FU achieved as high as 34.2%. LDH, LDH/5-FU and LDH/HA-PEG/5-FU were characterized by FT-IR, XRD, TGA, laser particle size analyzer and SEM. With the benefit of p Hdegradable feature of LDH and enzyme-degradable feature of HA, LDH/HA-PEG/5-FU showed p H-degradable and enzyme-degradable capacity in in vitro drug release. Moreover, the drug carrier LDH/HA-PEG contained biocompatible PEG and tumor-targeted HA, resulting in lower cytotoxicity and better endocytosis compared with LDH in vitro. It was suggested that the organic-inorganic hybrid drug delivery system, which was endowed with the properties of controlled release, low toxicity and tumor-targeting delivery for ameliorative cancer therapy, was advisable and might be applied further to fulfill other treatments.展开更多

Polyethylene glycol (PEG), sodium polyacrylate (PAAS) and their mixture were used to inhibit the decomposition of β-2CaO·SiO2 in sodium aluminate solution. The potential of solid-liquid interface and the adsorption mechanism were studied by the methods of Zeta potential measurement and XPS. The results indicate that PEG and PAAS have synergistic effect on the inhibition of secondary reaction. The inhibitory effect is the best when the volume ratio of PAAS to PEG is 1:1 and the total concentration is 12.5 mg/L. PAAS adsorbs on the surface of β-2CaO-SiO2 by the formation of --COOCa coordinate bond, and the negative charge enters into Stem layer, which results in the decrease of particle potential and the obvious change of binding energy of Ca 2p, Si 2p and O Is. PEG only physically adsorbs on the surface ofβ-2CaO·SiO2, and had little effect on particle potential and binding energy of Ca 2p, Si 2p and O Is.展开更多

The resulting copolyesters, PETA, were characterized by FT-IR, ^1H-NMR, DSC, TGA and by the ways of weight loss rate to characterize their biodegradability. The findings in this work indicated that, the Tins and Tas of copolyesters PETA increased with increasing contents of the terephthalic acid units. From the biodegradation tests in natural soil, boiling water, acid buffer solution and alkali buffer solution, it was shown that the biodegradability of copolyesters PETA decreased with increasing contents of the terephthalic acid units.展开更多

It was found that an increase in pH caused the binodal curve to be displaced downward and the two-phase region to expand. Accordingly, the binodal curve was adjusted to the Pirdashti equation and the tie-line compositions were correlated using the Othmer-Tobias, Bancroft and Hand equations. The study measured the refractive index and densities of several homogeneous binary and ternary solutions. The solutions were used for calibration within a range of 0% to 30% of the mass of the PEG and potassium formate. The density and refractive index data show a linear variation with the mass fraction of the polymer and the salt. The effect of pH on the binodal, tie-line lengths (TLL) and slope of the tie-line (STL) in the systems was exam- ined. It was found that an increase in pH increased the TLL and decreased the STL It was observed that the density of the aqueous two-phase system was influenced by the TLL The difference in density between phases (△p) increased as the TLL and pH increased. It was found that the TLL and Ap showed a linear relationship. The effective excluded volume (EEV) of the PEG was obtained and it was found that EEV also increased as the pH increased.展开更多

The solar concentrator was built with recyclable waste materials: glass tubes from fluorescent lamps and 6-inch diameter PVC pipes cut in half and covered by aluminum foil. The reactor concentrates solar radiation up to 2.8 times its natural intensity. Batch irradiation experiments followed by controlled agitation (shear rate = 30-33 s^-1; 20 min agitation period) showed that the photoreactor accelerates the formation of settleable floccules (Dp 〉 0.5mm), compared with a fluorescent lamp glass tube alone and a 2 L PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottle. Irradiation times necessary for floccule formation in the photoreactor, the fluorescent lamp tube and the PET bottle were 15 min, 25 min and 60 min, respectively. Continuous flow experiments using a photoreactor with a photo-collection area of 0.9 m^2 and a hydraulic retention time (equal to the irradiation time) of 15 rain showed that immediate formation of floccules of good settleability occurs when the solution is subjected to moderate agitation (33 s^-1). An efficiency of 98.36% for As(V) removal was obtained with a final concentration of 16.5 ktg/L in decanted waters. In accordance to these results, the photoreactor is able to treat approximately 130 L/m^2 within a 5-h period with UVA irradiation intensities of 50-70 W/mE.展开更多
