Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After the thermal process by microwave, the lentil seeds were milled using an impact miller (NutriMill, SKU – 760200, NutriMill®, Utah, USA), equipped with a high-speed impact chamber stainless steel milling heads to create fine flour. Then the thermal properties of obtained flours were evaluated by using a differential scanning calorimeter (Model Q 2000 TA Instruments, New Castle, DE, USA) calibrated with indium according to the method of Setia et al. (2019) (link) with some modification. Lentil flour (3.3–3.6 mg) was precisely weighed into a hermetic aluminum pan (TA Instruments, New Castle, DE, USA), then deionized water (∼3–4 volumes, v/w) was added prior to sealed hermetically and allowed to equilibrate at ambient temperature overnight. The sealed pans were heated from 10 to 180 °C at a heating rate of 10 °C per minute. The thermal properties onset (To), peak (Tp), and conclusion (Tc) temperatures, as well as enthalpy changes (ΔH), were calculated from the observed endothermic peak in the DSC thermogram with the use of the Universal Analysis 2000 Software (TA Instruments, New Castle, DE, USA).

Thermal Analysis of DEET-based Fibers

All DSC trials were performed on a TA Instruments (New Castle, DE, USA) Model Q2000 using nitrogen as purge gas at a flow rate of 50 mL min−1. The samples with a mass of about 10 mg, used for the determination of solubility, were transferred to 50-μL aluminum pans and sealed while at 130 °C. The high-DEET-content samples were transferred via a syringe while the low-DEET content samples were transferred via a spatula. The samples were held isothermally at 130 °C for 5 min, before cooling to −20 °C at a rate of 2 K·min−1.
For the characterization of the spun monofilaments, samples with a mass of between 1.5 and 3 mg were cut with scissors and sealed in the pans. The samples were held isothermally at −30 °C for 5 min, before they were heated to 230 °C at a rate of 5 K·min−1. The results were analyzed with the TA Universal Analysis software. All reported values represent the average of two measurements.

Thermal Characterization of Hydrogels

The Tg of hydrogels was obtained by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) equipment (TA Instruments, Model Q2000, New Castle, DE, USA). Modulated DSC mode was employed and the measurements were performed using dry hydrogel powder (10 mg). The method comprised two temperature cycles; in the first one, each sample was cooled to −30 °C, maintained isothermally for 5 min, the temperature was modulated to ± 0.5 °C every 60 s, and the sample was heated with a ramp of 10 °C min−1 up to 200 °C. For the second cycle, the heating ramp was changed to 5 °C min−1 up to 200 °C.
The decomposition temperature was measured by thermogravimetric analysis equipment (TGA) from TA Instruments (Discovery Model, New Castle, DE, USA), using a heating ramp of 10 °C min−1 from 25 °C to 600 °C in a nitrogen atmosphere. The weight loss and weight residue were recorded during the heating ramp.

2-Acrylamido-2-methyl-4-pentanone was purchased from Tokyo Chemical Industry, Co., LTD (Tokyo, JP). 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate, potassium cyanide, and ammonium carbonate were obtained from Acros Organics (NJ, USA). 2,2′-Azobis(2-methylpropionitrile) (AIBN) was obtained from Sigma-Aldrich, Inc. (St. Louis, MO, USA). All other chemicals were purchased from Aldrich Chemical Co. (Milwaukee, WI), TCI America (Boston, MA), or Alfa Aesar (Ward Hill, MA) and used as received unless otherwise noted. Highly corrosion resistant stainless steel 316L having thickness 0.008 inch (ASTM A240/A240 M standard) with 2B finish (Ra roughness of the surface typically being between 0.3 and 0.4 μm) and Inconel™ 718 alloy sheet with 0.02 inch thickness were purchased from McMaster-Carr (Chicago, IL). 1H NMR spectra were obtained with a Bruker 400 MHz spectrometer (16 scans). ATR-IR data were recorded with 32 scans at 4 cm−1 resolution with a PerkinElmer Model Spectrum 400 ATR-FTIR spectrometer. Melting points were determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC, TA Instruments Model Q-2000). Mass spectra were obtained with a Waters Q-TOF Premier spectrometer, and X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) were obtained with a Kratos XSAM 800 Surface Analysis System equipped with a hemispherical energy analyzer.

Thermal Analysis of Nylon 6 Composites

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The polymorphic structure, melting temperature, crystallization temperature, and degree of crystallinity of all the samples were determined by means of a calorimeter (Model Q-2000, TA Instruments, USA). The heating and cooling rate were set at 10 °C/min, and high-purity nitrogen (99.999%) with a flow rate of 50 mL/min was used to avoid oxidation of the samples. Between 10 and 15 mg of each sample was tested from 0 to 260 °C. The assays were performed following the ASTM D3418 standard.
The degree of crystallinity was calculated using the following Equation (2)
Xc%=ΔHf1 ΔH* × 100
where ΔHf is the heat of fusion of every sample and ΔH* is the heat of fusion of the pure Nylon 6 with 100% crystallinity, equal to 191.064 J/g for the specific case of our polymer [29 (link)], and is the weight fraction of the MCB nanoparticles

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
