In depth knowledge of the thermal properties of drugs is particularly important when they are designed for incorporation into a thermoplastic polymer matrix. In this paper a representative set of Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) antibiotics were studied using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and then blende...

Printing is a form of dyeing in which colors are applied to specified regions instead of the entire fabric. To restrict the coloring matter to the design area, the dyes and other auxiliaries are pasted with a natural or synthetic thickening agent. Finding alternatives to the used thickeners has gained importance lately due to the several limitation...

Polyester can coatings protect both food and packaging from mutual contamination. Even though, can coatings may release Non-Intentionally Added Substances (NIAS) in addition to Intentionally Added Substances (IAS). As NIAS are mainly constituted by cyclic or linear side products that are formed during the polymerization process, we focused our atte...

In order to mitigate the start and spread of flame of combustible materials, flame retardants (FR) are incorporated during processing that influences mechanical and thermal properties. In this paper six (6) FR species derived from aluminium hydroxide (ATH), ammonium polyphosphate with gum arabic powder (APP-GAP) a new FR, ATH/APP-GAP hybrid formula...

Small interfering RNA (siRNA) has potential as therapeutic agents against various diseases because it can reversibly silence any gene with high efficiency and specificity. Unmodified siRNA is a hydrophilic molecule with negative charge, which is unstable in the bloodstream and cannot freely cross cell membranes. Therefore, the safe and effective de...

Phosphine-borane complexes are recently developed redox-active drugs that are neuroprotective in models of optic nerve injury and radioprotective in endothelial cells. However, a single dose of these compounds is short-lived, necessitating the development of sustained-release formulations of these novel molecules. We screened a library of biodegrad...

Gene therapy is promising for the treatment of inherited diseases and complex diseases such as chronic infections and cancer. The advancement in science and technology has extended the scope of gene therapy from gene transfer to the delivery of a variety of nucleic acids such as mRNA, antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs), siRNA and miRNA. Nanoparticle...

Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a natural biodegradable polymer that is produced by many types of bacteria as an intracellular energy storage material. Due to its numerous advantages such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, availability and with physical properties comparable to petroleum-based thermoplastics, PHB is a potential substitute in biome...

Textile industry needs to recover and reuse its wastewater as to fulfil the demand of increasingly strict regulations. The characterization of dyeing wastewater samples according to textile fiber and final textile effluent enables the application of different treatment methods. This study aims to characterize dyeing wastewater in black color of pol...
