The mechanical properties, compatibility, flame retardancy property, hot-air ageing resistance of hydrogenated nitrile-butadiene rubber (HNBR) / chloroprene rubber (CR) blends were investigated. With increasing CR, stress at 100% elongation, shore A hardness, limited oxygen index of HNBR/CR blends increased, while the tensile strength, hot-air aging resistance of the blends decreased. Differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) revealed that it’s incompatible with both HNBR and CR before vulcanization, however they became compatible completely after vulcanization as indicated by Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA).
A large number of macroscopic pores were introduced into commercially pure aluminum (Al) and Zn-Al eutectoid alloy by air pressure infiltration process to comparatively study the influence of macroscopic pores on the damping behaviors of the materials. Macroscopic pores size are on the order of a millimetre (0.5~1.4mm) and in large proportions, typically high 76vol.%. The damping behavior of the materials is characterized by internal friction (IF). The IF was measured on a multifunction internal friction apparatus (MFIFA) at frequencies of 0.5, 1.0 and 3.0 Hz over the temperature range of 25 to 400 °C, while continuously changing temperature. The damping capacity of the metal materials is shown to increase with introducing macroscopic pores. Finally, the operative damping mechanisms in the metal materials with macroscopic pores were discussed in light of IF measurements.
The captopril/Chitosan-gelatin net-polymer microspheres (CTP/CGNPMs) were prepared using Chitosan (CTS) and gelatin (GT) by the methods of emulsification, cross-linked reagent alone or in combination and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) added in the process of preparation of microspheres, which aimed to eliminate dose dumping and burst phenomenon of microspheres for the improvement of the therapeutic efficiency and the decrease of the side effects of captopril (CTP). The results indicated that CTP/CGNPMs had a spherical shape, smooth surface and integral structure inside but no adhesive phenomena in the preparation. The size distribution ranged from 220 μm to 280 μm. The CTP release test in vitro demonstrated that CTP/CGNPMs played the role of retarding the release of CTP compared with ordinary CTP tablets. The release behaviors of CGNPMS were influenced by preparation conditions such as experimental material ratio (EMR) and composition of cross linking reagents. Among these factors, the EMR (1/4), CLR (FA+SPP) and 0.75% microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) added to the microspheres constituted the optimal scheme for the preparation of CTP/CGNPMs. The ER, DL and SR of CTP/CGNPMs prepared according to the optimal scheme were 46.23±4.51%, 9.95±0.77% and 261±42%, respectively. The CTP/CGNPMs had the good characteristics of sustained release of drug and the process of emulsification and cross-linking were simple and stable. The CGNPMs are likely to be an ideal sustained release formulation for water-soluble drugs.
The effects of ointment category, amount of ointment RA-101 and foaming temperature on Vulcanized properties, physical and mechanical properties and the structure of cell of the SBR were investigated. Foaming SBR was made up by machinery and observed by stereoscopic microscope. The results suggested that ointment can make the cell structure distribute more balance and the effects of RA-101 is better than AN; When the amount of RA-101 was 10, the foaming temperature was 175°C, the physical and mechanical properties was better, and cell structure was more balance and surface of rubber was smooth.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
