NON-DESTRUCTIVE EVALUATION OF THE CURING OF A POLYBENZOXAZINE NANOCOMPOSITE BLEND FOR SPACE APPLICATIONS USING FLUORESCENCE SPECTROSCOPY AND PREDICTIVE MECHANICAL MODELLING

Non-destructive evaluation of the curing of a polybenzoxazine nanocomposite blend for space applications using fluorescence spectroscopy and predictive mechanical modelling

In this study, Suppositories we employ fluorescence spectroscopy to monitor the curing process of a novel polybenzoxazine (PBZ) resin blend containing a polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) reagent in a non-destructive way and compare it with the differential scanning calorimetry data.Our resin blend has been carefully selected for study on

Impact of Thermal Treatment on the Starch-Protein Interplay in Red Lentils: Connecting Molecular Features and Rheological Properties

Thermal treatments are widely applied to gluten-free (GF) flours to change their functionality.Despite the interest in using pulses in GF formulations, the effects of thermal treatment at the molecular level and their relationship with dough rheology have not been fully addressed.Raw and heat-treated red lentils were tested for starch and protein f

Beneficial effects of xenon inhalation on behavioral changes in a valproic acid-induced model of autism in rats

Abstract Background Xenon (Xe) is a noble gas that has been used for the last several decades as an anesthetic during surgery.Its antagonistic effect on glutamate subtype of NMDA (N-methyl-d-aspartate) receptors resulted in evaluation of this gas for treatment of CNS pathologies, including psychoemotional disorders.The Side Rails aim of this study
