Novel heterostructures based on ferrocenium hexafluorophosphate (FcPF6), 2,6-dihydroxyanthraquinone (DHAQ) or 2,6-diaminoanthraquinone (DAAQ), zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) and nylon 11 were deposited by the high-vacuum thermal evaporation (HVTE) technique. Morphological mechanical characterizations of these organic FcPF6:DHAQ/nylon(ZnPc) FcPF6:DAAQ/nylon(ZnPc) carried out. Subsequently, correspon...

A novel and facile approach to prepare hybrid nanoparticle embedded polymer nanofibers using pressurised gyration is presented. Silver nanoparticles and nylon polymer were used in this work. The polymer solution's physical properties, rotating speed and the working pressure had a significant influence on the fibre diameter and the morphology. Fibres in the range of 60-500nm were spun using 10wt...

Methyl azelaaldehydate, soy nitriles, and oleonitrile were compared as starting materials for making nylon-9. Less difficulty was encountered in purifying intermediates from oleonitrile than from the other two. All 3 routes involved hydrolysis of methyl 9-aminononanoate to 9-aminononanoic acid. Self catalyzed hydrolysis of the amino ester in water produced low yields of monomer owing to oligome...

Dry matter (DM) degradation of wheat straw (WS), barley straw (BS), lucerne hay (LH) and maize silage (MS) was determined using two different techniques: (i) in vitro gas production and (ii) nylon bag degradability technique. In vitro gas production and in situ DM disappearance were measured after 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours of incubation. In situ and in vitro DM degradation kinetics was ...

Microorganisms play a crucial role in litter decomposition terrestrial ecosystems. The leaf and fine root litters of Robinia pseudoacacia Linn., Quercus acutissima Carr., Pinus tabulaeformis Carr. densiflora Sieb. were analysed using the nylon bag method Illumina MiSeq high-throughput sequencing for amplification bacterial 16S rRNA V4–V5. We assessed effects species on community after one year’...

The aim of this experiment is to investigate the effects lactic acid bacteria and cellulase on fermentation quality, chemical composition, aerobic stability ruminal degradation characteristics mixed silage prepared with amaranth rice straw. Lactic were used as additives, four treatments follows: control group (CON, no additive), (LAB, additive amount was 5 mg/kg fresh matter), (CEL, 2 mg/kg) (L...

Polyamide 6 intercalated/exfoliated (PIE) cements are fabricated and characterized. With the reinforcing nanointerphase, the flexure strength of a PIE cement is higher than that of ordinary cements by an order of magnitude. The optimum nanointerphase content is around 10 wt.%. This technique has great potential in developing advanced precast and repair technologies. © 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rig...

the chemical and fermentative parameters of three fresh forages and silages of sorghum including sweet, pegah and speedfeed varieties were compared with corn using in vitro method, also degradability coefficients of forages and silages were determined by in situ method. forages were planted in the same condition and harvested in soft dough stage, then ensilaged in four replicates for each time ...
