Synthesis and physical properties of lipid-based poly(ester-urethane)s, I: Effect of varying polyester segment length

Four aliphatic thermoplastic poly(ester-urethane)s (PEUs) with similar molecular weights but varying polyesters molecular weight (534-1488 g/mol) were prepared from polyester diols, obtained by melt condensation of Azelaic acid and 1,9-Nonanediol, and 1,7-heptamethylene di-isocyanate (HPMDI) all sourced from vegetable oil feedstock. The thermal, and mechanical properties, and crystal structure of PEUs were investigated using DSC, TGA, DMA, tensile analysis and WAXD. For sufficiently long polyester chain, WAXD data indicated no hydrogen bonds polyethylene (PE)-like crystalline packing and for short polyester chains, small crystal domains with significant H-bonded polyamide (PA)-like packing. Crystallinity decreased with decreasing polyester molecular weights. The polymorphism of PEUs and consequently their melting characteristics were found to be largely controlled by polyester segment length. TGA of the PEUs indicated improved thermal stability with decreasing polyester chain length, suggesting a stabilization effect by urethane groups. Mechanical properties investigated by DMA and tensile analysis were found to scale predictably with the overall crystallinity of PEUs. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Uso de etil-trinexapac em cultivares de arroz de terras altas

O acamamento de plantas em cultivares de arroz, no momento da colheita, acarreta perdas significativas à produtividade. O uso de reguladores vegetais é uma das alternativas para reduzir o acamamento, entretanto, as informações sobre este assunto ainda são escassas. Este trabalho foi desenvolvido com o objetivo de avaliar o uso de doses de etil-trinexapac (0 g ha-1, 50 g ha-1, 100 g ha-1, 150 g ha-1 e 200 g ha-1 do i.a.), aplicadas por ocasião da diferenciação floral, em cultivares de arroz com diferentes tipos de plantas (Caiapó - tradicional; BRS Primavera e BRS Soberana - intermediário; e IAC 202 - moderno), avaliando o desenvolvimento e a produtividade de grãos. O experimento foi desenvolvido no município de Selvíria (MS), durante o ano agrícola de 2007/2008. Concluiu-se que a aplicação de 50 g ha-1, 100 g ha-1 e 150 g ha-1 de etil-trinexapac, por ocasião da diferenciação do primórdio da panícula das cultivares Caiapó, BRS Soberana e BRS Primavera, respectivamente, reduziu a altura de plantas e proporcionou ausência de acamamento; a cultivar IAC 202 dispensou o uso de regulador de crescimento, considerando-se que a mesma praticamente não apresentou acamamento; a aplicação de 50 g ha-1 e 150 g ha-1 de etil-trinexapac, por ocasião da diferenciação do primórdio da panícula, melhorou a produtividade da cultivar Caiapó e BRS Primavera, respectivamente, e a dose de 100 g ha-1 interferiu pouco na cultivar BRS Soberana.

Analysis in vitro of direct bonding system with cyanoacrylate ester and orthodontic wires

The aim of this study was to evaluate the tensile strength of orthodontic wires bonded onto the enamel with cyanoacrylate ester. To obtain the specimens, 120 human premolars (extracted for orthodontic or periodontal reasons) were included in acrylic blocks of rapid polymerization with three teeth each. Four groups were formed with ten specimens each. In the specimens, a dental splint model was made with cyanoacrylate ester and round stainless steel wire. In groups I, II and III, cyanoacrylate ester was used with round steel wires, with variation in diameter: 0.014 inches; 0.016 inches and 0.018 inches, respectively. In group IV, round steel wire 0.018 inches was used with photo polymerizing resin composite with previous acid etching. The adhesive force of the materials was measured in two points under the action of the tensiometer (ETM-USA). The number of loose wires was counted along with those that remained fixed according to the different levels of force applied because of the direction of the tensile force (vertical or horizontal) and the diameter of the wire used. The data obtained were first submitted to a descriptive analysis and then submitted to a statistical analysis (Friedman's Test and Dunn's Test of Multiple Comparison - Epi-info 3.2). Within the limitations of the experimental conditions presented, the cyanoacrylate ester or 'Super Bonder (R)' maintained bonded to enamel and steel wires (0.016 and 0.018 inches) during the tensile strength tests under different levels of applied forces.

Use of a cyanoacrylate ester adhesive for splinting of replanted teeth

This paper reports a case of tooth replantation in which the splinting was performed with stainless steel orthodontic wire and a widely marketed brand of quick-setting cyanoacrylate ester adhesive (Super Bonder((R))). The long-term clinical and radiographic success of the case reported in this paper indicates that the splinting technique using a quick-setting cyanoacrylate ester adhesive may be a feasible option for making a rapid, simple and efficient contention of replanted teeth in situations where the routinely used materials are not readily available.

Cholesteryl ester storage disease. Report of a case.

Cholesteryl ester storage disease (CESD) is a rare disorder of familial incidence characterized by the accumulation of cholesteryl ester and triglycerides in the liver, intestine and bone marrow. Until now only 21 cases have been reported in the literature. We present a 9 months old girl presenting with increased abdominal girth. She had normal liver function tests and increased cholesterol and triglycerides serum levels. The liver biopsy showed many cholesterol cristals seen as needle shaped cristals under polarized light. This is the youngest patient being diagnosed clinically in the literature.

Uso do regulador de crescimento etil-trinexapac em arroz de terras altas

This work was developed with the objective of evaluating the use of trinexapac-ethyl doses (0, 75, 150, 225 and 300 g of the a.i. ha -1) and application times (active tillering, between active tillering and floral differentiation and at floral differentiation) in upland rice crop development and yield. The experiment was carried out in Selvíria-MS, during the agricultural year of 2006/07. Application of 150 g ha -1 of trinexapac-ethyl in Primavera rice cultivar at panicle initiation differentiation reduces plants height, 0.40 m on average comparing to other times, with lodging absence. Trinexapac-ethyl promotes lange number of abnormal grains, reduction of grain yields in doses above 150 g ha -1, when applied in panicle initiation differentiation stadium. Application of 150 g ha -1 of trinexapac-ethyl at any time does not interfere in crop yield.
