The thermomechanical and dynamic mechanical properties of films and fibres in vapour laden atmospheres and simulated dye baths were investigated in order to understand their processing behaviour. Acetone and water vapour acted as plasticisers for cellulose acetate film. 2-phenoxyethanol was found to penetrate poly(ethylene terephthalate) film above its glass transition temperature and consequen...

Abstract Acrylate co-polymers are frequently used ingredients, believed to have low allergenic potential, present in a wide range of cosmetics, including skincare products, hairspray and nail varnish. Concerns been expressed that individuals who sensitized (meth)acrylate monomers ultraviolet (UV)-cured products may suffer elicitation reactions due subsequent exposure residual monomer impurities...

The links between chemical properties, including those relating to molecular size, solubility, hydrophobicity and vapour pressure, and rejection of model aromatic micro-pollutants by a tubular, hydrophilic polymer pervaporation membrane designed for irrigation applications were investigated. Open air experiments were conducted at room temperature for individual solutions of fluorene, naphthalen...

in this study the effects of the most popular anaesthetics including: ms222, clove oil (eugenia caryophyllata) and 2-phenoxyethanol, on some haematological and serum enzymes of cyprinus carpio were investigated. firstly the effective dose of each anaesthetics (3 minutes for anesthesia and 5 minutes for recovery ) and lc50 of them were calculated in c. carpio. fish were anaesthetized with the ef...

Cosmetic preparations contain a large number of ingredients. Some them may have negative consequences, most often in the form allergic reactions, skin irritations, hormonal disorders, increased risk cancer. These chemicals are added to protect, soften, or otherwise make product more usable. The aim this study was determine presence some potentialy harmful substances by qualitative analysis cosm...
