Three lines of green chemistry were combined in this study, order to produce porous materials with pore size distributions the micro- and nano-scales. These are: (i) renewable biodegradable sources (cellulose), (ii) ionic liquids, (iii) supercritical fluids. By dissolving cellulose a room temperature liquid regenerating water or methanol we obtained hydrogels methanogels. The mixtures separated by vacuum distillation high yield recovery. gels processed carbon dioxide give materials. A novel...
Evaluation and understanding of the thermal behavior polymers is crucial for many applications, e.g., polymer processing at relatively high temperatures, evaluating polymer-polymer miscibility. In this study, differences in poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) raw powder physically crosslinked films were investigated using various methods, such as thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) derivative TGA (DTGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) X-ray...
The thermodynamic properties of pharmaceuticals are major importance since they involved in drug design, processing, optimization and modelling. In this study, a long-standing confusion regarding the flavonoids similar is recognized clarified. As case thermal behavior quercetin examined with various techniques. It shown that does not exhibit glass transition nor melting point, but on contrary, it thermochemical transitions (structural relaxation occurring simultaneously decomposition)....
CO2 capture, applied in separation from natural gas or CO2/N2 power plant flue streams, is of great importance for technical, economic, and environmental reasons. The latter seems important because CO2, as a greenhouse gas, considered the main contributor to global warming. Using polymeric membranes presents several advantages, such low energy demand, small equipment volume, absence liquid waste. In this study, two ionic liquids (ILs) were used preparation cellulose acetate (CA)–IL blend...
In this work, we studied the thermal behavior and infrared fingerprint of anhydrous hydrated DL-tartaric acid via conventional modulated Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Thermogravimetry (TGA), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), pH measurements, ab initio density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Six samples were examined in total (raw, recrystallized from D2O solution, freeze-dried, three heated samples). The results reveal that...
Composite polymers are an interesting class of materials with a wide range applications. Among the properties which currently being enhanced via development composite is their thermal stability, typically evaluated thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). In this work, paradox recognized regarding considered relationship between polymer–filler interactions leading to good dispersion filler and improvement stability. Simulation TGA signal during isothermal measurements performed along experimental...
A non-electrolyte equation-of-state model was used to describe the phase behavior of binary systems containing alkyl-methyimidazolium bis(trifluoromethyl-sulfonyl)imide ionic liquids. methodology is suggested for modeling this by using Non-Random Hydrogen-Bonding (NRHB) model. According methodology, scaling constants liquid are calculated limited available experimental data on densities and Hansen's solubility parameters, while all electrostatic interactions (polar, hydrogen bonding ionic)...
