A diacid monomer was synthesized by the condensation of L-tryptophan amino acid and pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA). The diacid was utilized for the synthesis of three types of poly(amide-imide)s (PAIs) using three different kinds of diamines. The synthesized monomer and PAIs were characterized using FT-IR, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectroscopies and the PAIs were also used ...

polycaprolactone (pcl) and poly(butylene terephthalate) (pbt) blend was prepared by melt processing. the pcl/pbt blend showed similar morphology with that of pure pcl.the crystallization temperature of pcl was increased by the incorporation of pbt. it was also observed that the peak height in the dsc thermograms decreased and then disappeared by adding 40 % or more pbt which might be due to the...

N-gram indexing is used in many practical applications. Spam detection, plagiarism detection or comparison of DNA reads. There are many data structures that can be used for this purpose, each with different characteristics. In this article the ternary search tree data structure is used. One improvement of ternary tree that can save up to 43% of required memory is introduced. In the second part ...

In this paper we investigate some properties of congruences on ternary semigroups. We also define the notion of congruence on a ternary semigroup generated by a relation and we determine the method of obtaining a congruence on a ternary semigroup T from a relation R on T. Furthermore we study the lattice of congruences on a ternary semigroup and we show that this lattice is not generally modular...

Membrane separation is known as an efficient technique for the oily wastewater treatment. Therefore, in the present study, sulfonated poly (ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) was introduced into the polysulfone (PSF) solution in order to enhance the hydrophilicity and the membrane structure for the oil–water separation. The hollow fiber membranes were fabricated via a phase-inversion process. The memb...

Let $A$ be a Banach ternary algebra over a scalar field $Bbb R$ or $Bbb C$ and $X$ be a ternary Banach $A$--module. Let $sigma,tau$ and $xi$ be linear mappings on $A$, a linear mapping $D:(A,[~]_A)to (X,[~]_X)$ is called a Lie ternary $(sigma,tau,xi)$--derivation, if $$D([a,b,c])=[[D(a)bc]_X]_{(sigma,tau,xi)}-[[D(c)ba]_X]_{(sigma,tau,xi)}$$ for all $a,b,cin A$, where $[abc]_{(sigma,tau,xi)}=ata...

A new theory model based on the local composition concept (TNRF-modified NRTL (TNRF-mNRTL) model) was developed to express the short-range contribution of the excess Gibbs energy for the solutions containing polymer and electrolyte. An equation represented the activity coefficient of solvent was derived from the proposed excess Gibbs energy equation. The short-range contribution of interaction ...

The stability of organic semiconductors (OSCs) is strongly hampered by the presence water molecules. One approach that has been proved to lead field-effect transistors with an enhanced performance use blends OSCs insulating binding polymers. In this work, fabrication OSC thin films based on polymeric ternary including a hydrophobic fluorinated polymer reported as novel route engineer long-term ...

in the present study, floating drug delivery beads (fdds) were prepared with sodium alginate/ starch blend as a matrix, sodium hydrogen carbonate as a pore forming agent, methyl cellulose as a binder and barium chloride solution as a hardening agent. in order to prepare the beads with different porosity and morphology the ratio between pore forming agent to polymer blend and ratio of the consti...

nowadays, polymer blends usages increase more and more in order to produce materials with better properties. according to many research works, the blends of polyolefins have shown industrial importance. the purpose of this project was to carry out some investigations on fibers melt spun from the polypropylene and low density polyethylene blends. pp and ldpe are immiscible. pp/ldpe blend filamen...
