Good footwear should be comfortable, long-lasting and fit for purpose, polyurethanes allow designers to meet all of these objectives. Polyurethanes are used in the industry make insoles shoe soles.There two types PU soles a polyether polyester based sole. Polyether have high resistance against hydrolysis low oil while resistance. In this work thermal mechanical properties elastomers with polols...

An iterative systematic approach to the 1,3-polyol motif has been developed to provide access to all possible stereoisomers by utilizing the catalytic asymmetric Overman esterification for the construction of all stereogenic centres.

We report here a simple route for the chemical synthesis of SmCo5 and Sm2Co17 single-phase and SmCo5/Fe composite nanocrystals by polyol reduction of metal precursors and subsequent calcium reductive annealing. Sm2O3 and Co nanoparticles were synthesized first, and nanocrystalline SmCo5 or Sm2Co17, compound with tunable composition was then obtained after the annealing. The composition of the c...

Commercially used industrial baking enamels consist of alkyd or polyester resin with melamine formaldehyde. These resins are mainly derived from fossil resources. Considering growing environmental legislation regarding use of petroleum based raw materials, utilization of renewable resources to synthesize various chemistries can be the only obvious option as far as academia and industries are co...

The discovery and development of antimicrobial agents that do not give rise to resistance remains an ongoing challenge. Our efforts in this regard continue to reveal new potential therapeutic agents with differing physicochemical properties while retaining the effective N,N-dichloroamine pharmacophore as the key antimicrobial warhead. In this Letter, we disclose agents containing polyol units a...

There is relatively little published information regarding consumer perceptions of the possible health benefits or occurrence of gastrointestinal symptoms following consumption of low-digestible carbohydrates (LDCs), in particular polyol sugars. This workshop focused on how consumers perceive the possible health benefits of LDCs, their reactions to any `adverse' symptoms following LDC consumpti...

Monodispersed FePt nanoparticles are synthesized by reduction of iron(II) acetylacetonate and platinum(II) acetylacetonate with 1,2-hexadecanediol as the reducing reagent in the polyol process. As-prepared FePt nanoparticles are chemically disordered with fcc phase. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images show a self-assembled particle array with an average particle size of 3 nm and a sta...

Abstract Palm oil polyol-based foams have inflexible and brittle properties. polyols a lower molecular weight. Polyols with high weight primary OH group, such as polyethylene glycol (PEG)-400, can provide the flexible properties of polyurethane foam. This study aimed to examine optimum concentration PEG-400, which produce foam made from palm best characteristics based on mechanical compared pol...

Sorbitol dehydrogenase was isolated from human brain and purified 690-fold, giving a final specific activity of 11.1 units/mg of protein. The enzyme preparation was nearly homogeneous, but was unstable at most temperatures. It exhibited a broad pH optimum of 7.5-9.0 in the forward reaction (i.e. sorbitol -+fructose), and of 7.0 in the reverse reaction (i.e. fructosesorbitol). Substrate-specific...

The aim of the present work was to study physicochemical, textural and sensory properties biscuits prepared by replacing sucrose with rare sugar (D-psicose) and/or polyols (sorbitol, xylitol) at 25% or 50%. results showed that increasing D-psicose replacement resulted in lower moisture content, darker less yellow, thicker biscuits. However, opposite effects were observed polyol substitute textu...
