Polyaniline nanofibers as a new gamma radiation stabilizer agent for PMMA

“…Effects of gamma-irradiation on PMMA/PANF-HCl composites films were assessed by comparison of the variation of viscosity-average molar mass (Mv) of PMMA at 25 kGy dose when compared to commercial PMMA films. Samples containing 0.15% PANF-HCl (wt/wt) retained 92% of the initial Mv after irradiation while control sample presented 42% of Mv retention. …”

Kinetics of drying of basil leaves (Ocimum basilicum L.) in the infrared Cinética de secagem de folhas de manjericão (Ocimum basilicum L.) via infravermelho by Renata C. dos Reis, Ivano A. Devilla, Diego P. R. Ascheri, Ana C. O. Servulo, Athina B. M. Souza

“…From the study it was concluded that: a) the behavior of the drying curves of basil leaves was similar to most agricultural products, the drying times in the infrared were less than the drying times in an oven with air circulation, b) the mathematical drying model proposed by Midilli et al. (2002) was the one which best adjusted to the experimental data, c) the diffusion coefficient ranged from 9.10 x 10-12 to 2.92 x 10-11 m² s-1 and d) the color of the samples was highly influenced by drying, becoming darker due to loss of chlorophyll with increasing temperature.…”
