in this study, the stability of trinitroglycerin (tng) in polyethylene (peg) 400 was investigated according to arrhenius approach. the reaction rate constant (k) for the thermal disintegration of tng in peg 400 at various temperatures was counted based on the percents of remaining tng at different intervals of time at a specific temperature. the results showed that “k” at 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 and...

Solubility of lornoxicam in various pure solvents and solvent-cosolvent mixtures was studied to understand drug vehicle interactions and in order to get the required solubility equal to the dose of lornoxicam, i.e., 4 mg/ml for development of solution formulation. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) 400, propylene glycol, ethanol, water, dimethyl formamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, and ethyl acetate were used...

The improper curing of concrete can seriously affect its hardened properties. However, a large quantity water is required to cure after casting. Water valuable resource and availability posing particular challenge in the Middle East including Kurdistan region Iraq. Self-curing may be considered novel method that inside mix retained so hydration continue without supply additional Therefore, aim ...

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...

Today concrete is most generally utilized development material in the world due to its strength and sturdiness properties. To attain good strength, curing of concrete is important so we introduce the concept of self-curing concrete rather than immersion or sprinkle curing to avoid water scarcity. It was observed that water solvent polymers can be utilized as a self-curing agent, i.e. polyethyle...
