The objective of this study was to investigate the possible impacts of curing and storage conditions on dissolution of controlled release diphenhydramine HCl pellets coated with EUDRAGIT NE30D. The accumulative percentage of dissolved active drug was used as the response in three statistical experimental design studies: 32 full factorial, Box-Behnken and 2(3) designs. By only considering curing temperature and curing time, both factors were found to significantly affect the dissolution rate, but curing temperature had greater impact than curing time. When considering polymer coating level, curing temperature and curing time together, polymer coating level and curing temperature had important effects on dissolution rate, but curing time became insignificant among these three factors. The addition of the water-soluble additives hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose and mannitol made coating films less sensitive to curing, and there was little or no difference in their effect in the model studied. Lower levels of a water-insoluble additive (kaolin) had little impact on dissolution; however, when the level of water-insoluble additive increased, the coating film became more sensitive to curing, especially at the lower curing temperature of 30 degrees C.

Traditional photosensitive polyimide (PSPI) materials require a high curing temperature and exhibit low transparency, limiting their applications in thermally sensitive optical devices. To overcome this challenge, soluble photosensitive polyimide resins were synthesized based on the structural design of a bio-based magnolol monomer. It is noteworthy that the PI photoresist, developed by using the as-prepared polyimides and non-toxic solvents (2-acetoxy-1-methoxypropane, PGEMA) and other additives, demonstrated an impressive low-temperature curing performance (180 °C).

Background: Low temperatures disrupt nitrogen metabolism in tobacco, resulting in lower nicotine content in the leaves. 24-epibrassinolide (EBR) is a widely used plant growth regulator known for its roles in enhancing cold tolerance and nitrogen metabolism. Nevertheless, it remains unclear whether EBR enhances leaf nicotine content under low temperature conditions during the mature stage of flue-cured tobacco.

Managing basalt rock cutting waste in an environmentally responsible manner is crucial to mitigate its negative impacts and protect both the environment and human health. Recycling basalt rock cutting waste in geopolymer applications offers multiple environmental, economic, and performance benefits, making it a promising approach for sustainable construction practices. For this purpose, this study concerns about the performance of fiber-reinforced basalt rock-cutting waste-based geopolymer composites at high temperatures up to 1000 °C.

Analyzing the chemical composition of different kinds of acrylic cement is necessary to understand their properties and suitability for curing bone defects. Conducting various chemical tests can give valuable insight into the composition, viscosity, and performance characteristics of each kind of cement, Therefore, our study aimed to find safety standards and the effectiveness of these products for medical applications. The polymeric characterization was determined by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (H-NMR) spectroscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).

The increasing demand for energy in cooling systems due to global warming presents a significant challenge. Conventional air-conditioning methods exacerbate climate change by contributing to heightened carbon emissions. Glass facades, renowned in modern architecture for their versatility and aesthetic appeal, inadvertently trap solar radiation, resulting in heat buildup and the greenhouse effect.
