Polyphenylene sulphide (PPS) is a semi-crystalline high-performance thermoplastic used in the aeronautic field as a composite usually reinforced with carbon fibers. The crystallinity of semi-crystalline thermoplastics can ...

The crystallization degree in semi-crystalline thermoplastics plays an important role in determining the final properties of structural composite material (e.g. Toughness, stiffness and solvent resistance). The main purpose ...

The crystalline content of a composite can affect its performance under environmental conditions. The objective of this study is to evaluate the influence of the crystallinity degree of CF/PPS composites to hygrothermal, ...

The structural changes, lignin content and enzymatic hydrolysis of dilute acid pretreated bagasse from 19 varieties of sugarcane were investigated. Chemical compositions varied significantly between the materials. Glucose ...

Carrier systems for lipophilic drugs, such as the liquid crystalline systems (LCS) have been extensively studied to improve effect and selectivity. Retinyl palmitate (RP) is widely used in pharmaceutical and cosmetics ...

Biodegradable polymeric microspheres can be used to deliver drugs through controlled rate and targeted processes. The drug is released from the particles by drug leaching or degradation of the polymeric matrix. Crystallinity ...

The effect of gelatinization on the in vitro glycemic index (GI) of starch obtained from jicama tubers was investigated, and the relationships between the starch crystallinity, granule morphology, and the GI were measured. ...

This paper aims to describe the synthesis of the semi-crystalline and crystalline powder of lanthanum doped with zirconium titanate (65/35), LZT through Pechini method. The analysis done by Raman demonstrated that ...
