Thermal stability and decomposition of perfluoroalkyl substances on spent granular activated carbon
Environmental Science and Technology Letters, 2020 The aims of this study were two-fold: (1) to improve our understanding of the thermal stability of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances and (2) to investigate their decomposition mechanisms on spent...

Synergy between conventional phosphorus fire retardants and organically-modified clays can lead to fire retardancy of styrenics [PDF]
, 2003 Polystyrene–clay nanocomposites combined with phosphorous-containing fire retardants have been prepared and used to explore the thermal stability and mechanical properties of the polymer formed. The amounts of fire retardants and clay used were varied to

Thermal Stabilization of an Endoglucanase by Cyclization [PDF]
Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 2012 An intein-driven protein splicing approach allowed for the covalent linkage between the N- and C-termini of a polypeptide chain to create circular variants of the endo-β-1,3-1,4-glucanase, LicA, from Bacillus licheniformis. Two circular variants, LicA-C1 and LicA-C2, which have connecting loops of 20 and 14 amino acids, respectively, showed catalytic ...

Thermal stability of soy-based polyurethanes
Polímeros, 2005 New types of polyurethanes were prepared by reacting diisocyanates and formiated soy polyols with different OH functionalities. Thermal properties and degradation kinetics were investigated by TGA. All prepared PU's showed at least two-weight loss steps,

Thermal Stability of SiBCN Films
Tribology Online, 2008 Silicon-Boron-Carbon-Nitride (SiBCN) thin films were deposited on Si (100) substrates by ECR-type ion beam sputtering at a substrate temperature of 200 ºC, and thermal stability of SiBCN films were investigated at 600 ºC, 700 ºC and 800 ...

Stability of pizoelectric beam with magnetic effect under (Coleman or Pipkin)-Gurtin thermal law [PDF]
, 2022 In this paper, we investigate the stabilization of a system of piezoelectric beams under (Coleman or Pipkin )-Gurtin thermal law with magnetic effect. First, we study the Piezoelectric-Coleman-Gurtin system and we obtain an exponential stability result.

Consensus mutagenesis reveals that non-helical regions influence thermal stability of horseradish peroxidase [PDF]
, 2008 The enzyme horseradish peroxidase has many uses in biotechnology but a stabilized derivative would have even wider applicability. To enhance thermal stability, we applied consensus mutagenesis (used successfully with other proteins) to recombinant ...

Effect of Adhesive Spreading Rate on the Performance of Laminated Compressed Oil Palm Trunks
BioResources, 2015 The large availability and cheap price of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) trunk makes it an attractive raw material for value-added applications, but its low density and high carbohydrate content are highly undesirable.
