Mechanical Properties of PC-ABS-Based Graphene-Reinforced Polymer Nanocomposites Fabricated by FDM Process.

Abstract: This experimental study investigates the mechanical properties of polymer matrix composites containing nanofiller developed by fused deposition modelling (FDM). A novel polymer nanocomposite was developed by amalgamating polycarbonate-acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (PC-ABS) by blending with graphene nanoparticles in the following proportions: 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8 wt %. The composite filaments were developed using a twin-screw extrusion method. The mechanical properties such as tensile strength, low-velocity impact strength, and surface roughness of pure PC-ABS and PC-ABS + graphene were compared. It was observed that with the addition of graphene, tensile strength and impact strength improved, and a reduction in surface roughness was observed along the build direction. These properties were analyzed to understand the dispersion of graphene in the PC-ABS matrix and its effects on the parameters of the study. With the 0.8 wt % addition of graphene to PC-ABS, the tensile strength increased by 57%, and the impact resistance increased by 87%. A reduction in surface roughness was noted for every incremental addition of graphene to PC-ABS. The highest decrement was seen for the 0.8 wt % addition of graphene reinforcement that amounted to 40% compared to PC-ABS.

Production and properties of inulinase from Penicillium sp. NFCC 2768 grown on inulin-rich vegetal infusions

Abstract: Inulinase production by Penicillium sp. NFCC 2768 isolated from the rhizosphere soil of dahlia was studied on media containing inulin-rich plant extracts. The maximum inulinase activity (64.54 nkat/ml) was observed with the tuber extract of dahlia (Dahlia pinnata). The fungus produced substantial inulinase activity on asparagus root powder (45.23 nkat/ml) and garlic extracts (41.32 nkat/ml). The apparent molecular weight of the purified inulinase was 68 kDa. The optimum pH and temperature for enzyme activity were 5.0 and 50°C, respectively. Mn2+ and Ca2+ were found to enhance the inulinase activity, while Hg2+ was found to be a strong inhibitor. Inulinase liberated fructose, glucose, sucrose, kestose (GF2), nystose (GF3), and inulooligosaccharides (IOS). This study suggested the use of dahlia tuber extract and asparagus root powder as suitable substrates for inulinase production by the newly isolated Penicillium sp. NFCC 2768, and its application in the generation of fructose and IOS.

Naftopidil Molecular Salts with Improved Dissolution and Permeation

Abstract: Naftopidil (NFPD) is a α1 adrenoceptor antagonist drug. Low solubility and low permeability are the major drawbacks of this drug. The synthesis of multicomponent crystalline forms of this amine fun...

Studies on gums and their derivatives as binding agents.

Abstract: Gums obtained from Cochlospermum gossypium, Anogeissus latifolia and Buchanania lanzam and their carboxymethyl and methoxyl derivatives when studied for their binding properties suggest that gums of the first two plants and their derivatives particularly the carboxymethyl derivative, could be employed as binding agent in pharmaceutical practice.
