Differential thermal analysis and calorimetric analysis of commercial and dental waxes have been reported in the dental literature."2 Thermogravimetric analysis is described in most textbooks on thermal analysis3-5 and is essentially a method of measuring the weight of a sample as a function of temperature or as a function of time at a fixed temperature. The purpose of this study was to examine...

in this report, magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles were synthesized via coprecipitation of fe2+ and fe3+ with ammonium hydroxide, and the surface of synthesized nanoparticles was organically functionalized by commercially available amine coupling agent namely, 3-aminopropyl trimethoxysilane (apts) by using well-known sol–gel method. further reaction of the synthesized fe3o4@apts core-shell magne...

A novel magnetically immobilized polyethyleneimine (PEI) fabricated by covalently anchoring on silica coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles (PEI@Si-MNPs) was prepared. The synthesized catalyst was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). The immobili...

Blends of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and lignin were prepared with three different lignin types by solution blending and solution casting. Among three types of lignin, one type was chosen and different blend concentrations were prepared and casted. The casted blend films were characterized chemically with fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and thermally with thermogravimetric analysis...

Synthetic lamellar silica and hybrid lamellar silicas have been prepared by liquid crystal templating, template extraction and silanization. The samples have been characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), carbon analysis, spectroscopy, X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and nitrogen adsorption. The XRD analyses have shown that the lamellar periodic stacking is preserved for all samples. The quant...

The industrial wastes fly ash (FA) and polypropylene (PP) were used to develop novel green composites using a renewable, cheap coupling agent i.e. stearic acid. The fly ash (FA) particles were coated with stearic acid (SA) in different weight % like 0, 1, 2, 3 and 5. The SA coated fly ash particles were incorporated as filler in recycled polypropylene (RPP) matrix which was obtained from post-c...

A "basophilic method" for phenolic hydroxyl bridged lanthanide coordination polymers (CPs) was developed. With this method, eleven CPs with the general formula of [Ln(HL1)L1·H(2)O](n) (Ln = Tb (1), Nd (2), Eu (3), Gd (4), La (5), Er (6), Y (7), H(2)L1 = 4-methyl salicylic acid) and [Ln(HL2)L2·2MeOH](n) (Ln = Eu (8), Tb (9), Gd (10), La (11), H(2)L2 = 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid) were synthesized...

The present study was aimed to analyse the impact of biofield energy treatment on the physicochemical and spectral properties of 4-MBA. The compound was divided into two parts which are referred as the control and treated sample. The treated sample was subjected to Mr. Trivedi’s biofield energy treatment and analysed with respect to the control sample. The various analytical techniques used wer...

Two cobalt(ii) compounds, namely, {[Co(HL)(bpy)(H2O)2]·DMF}n (1), and {[Co(HL)(bpe)]·0.5bpe}n (2) (H3L = 1,3-bis(2-carboxylphenoxy)benzoic acid, bpy = 4,4'-bipyridine, bpe = 4,4'-vinylenedipyridine), have been synthesized using cobalt(ii) transition metal salt with phenolic carboxylic acid and different N-donor ligands. The compounds were fully characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spec...

The microwave-assisted synthesis of goethite nanoparticles has been studied. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential thermal analysis (DTA) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method. Goethite rod-like nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized in 10 min of microwave treating at 100 °C. Part...
