Synthesis and Characterization of Poly(etherdiphenylene terephthalamide)-Metal Complexes in Heterogeneous Medium
Abstract: Condensation of terephthalic acid and 4,4ʹ-diaminodiphenyl ether resulted in aminoterminated oligomeric poly(etherdiphenylene terephthalamide) (PODTA) using phosphorylation technique. Schiff base complexes of this polyamide were synthesized with salicylaldehyde and 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde complexes of Co(II),Ni(II) and Cu(II). All the synthesized polyamide as well as Schiff’s base complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and magnetic susceptibility measurements. Thermal stabilities of ligand and its various complexes were compared by thermogravimetric analysis. While, Co(II) …

Innovative Value Chain Development of Modified Starch for a Sustainable Environment: A Review
Abstract: Granular structure of starch is widely utilized in a variety of applications due to its universal abundance, relatively low cost, and ability to impart a broad range of functional properties to their products. However, most starches in their native form have limitations that make them less than ideal for the diversity of desired applications. For this reason, most of the starch utilized as a food or industrial ingredient is first …

Mechanical Behaviour of Natural Reinforced Polymer Composites with Hybrid Additives
Abstract: The implementation of natural fibres is the fast approaching ‘green’ economy based materials that are used in polymer matrix composites that are intended to replace the conventional synthetic polymer composites. Being plenteous fundamentally, natural fibres have been existed the primary form of natural resources for centuries. Considering that mechanical properties of composites are strongly influenced by the quality of the fibre/matrix interface and with eco-friendly properties like excellent energy absorption, …
