The freeze-dried samples Oxi5, Oxi10, Oxi20, and Oxi30 as well as raw inulin were subjected to thermal analysis using a TA Instrument (Thermogravimetric Analyzer Discovery TGA 550, New Castle, DE, USA). About 6 ± 0.1 mg of the oxidized inulin and raw inulin samples was subjected to heating under a nitrogen atmosphere at a heating rate of 10 °C/min from room temperature to about 500 °C. Finally, the weight loss of the raw inulin and oxidized samples and the derivative thermogravimetry (DTG) were recorded as a function of time and temperature.

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analyses (TGA) were carried out on solvent-cast 5FU-loaded and blank PU films and on pure 5FU drug using a Discovery DSC 2920 (TA Instruments, New Castle, DE, USA) and a Discovery TGA 550 (TA Instruments), respectively. For DSC, accurately weighed films, or 5FU (~2 mg), were placed in aluminum pans and hermetically sealed, and then measurements were performed at a heating rate of 10 °C/min between 20 and 600 °C under a nitrogen atmosphere. For TGA, ~7.6 mg of sample was placed in a platinum pan and then heated under a nitrogen gas flow at a rate of 10 °C/min up to 500 °C [53 (link)].

The above temperature-cycled DAS-HA,
DAS-HEA, and DAS-OA (each ∼10 mg) were taken out from the thermogravimetric
analyzer, and ∼1 to 3 mg of each sample was placed in an aluminum
pan and crimped with an aluminum lid using a crimper. The temperature
program for each sample analysis was from 40 to 320 °C with a
10 °C/min ramp rate. The nitrogen gas flow rate was 50 mL/min
while performing the analysis. A Discovery differential scanning calorimeter,
TA Instruments, with Trios software was used for DSC analysis.
The desolvated DAS-HA, DAS-HEA, and DAS-OA in Section 4.7 were again taken in a pretarred
100 μL platinum TGA pan and subjected to TGA analysis from 40
to 350 °C with a 10 °C/min ramp rate. TGA balance and furnace
purge flow rates were 40 and 60 mL/min, respectively. A Discovery
TGA550, TA Instruments, with Trios software was used for TGA analysis.

Thermal Analysis of Commercial Elastomers

Since the materials in the study are commercial grades, with limited information on the compositions, the materials were subjected to a thermal analysis.
Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was performed with a Discovery DSC 2500 (TA Instruments, New Castle, DE, USA). The heating/cooling rate was 20 °C/min. Heating and cooling in the interval −70 °C to 200 °C were performed twice.
Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was performed with a Discovery TGA 550 (TA Instruments), following ISO 9924-3 with minor adjustments: The carbon-based elastomers (TPV and EPDMs) where heated in nitrogen to 600 °C and cooled to 400 °C, before switching to air and heating to 900 °C. The isothermal holding times at 600 °C, 400 °C and 900 °C were 2 min, 2 min and 30 min, respectively. The LSR was analysed in a similar way, but it was heated to 800 °C in the first step.

XRD was carried out using a Rigaku Miniflex 600. The dried samples were analyzed at 40 Kv and 15 mA with a Cu tube from 7 to 70 °C.
TEM analysis was carried out to determine average lateral dimensions of the three materials. Dispersions of GO, wdGO and rGO in cell culture media (Minimum Essential Medium, MEM) (Sigma Aldrich; Milan, Italy) were properly diluted and dropped on a lacey copper grid (100 micron, 300 mesh, coated with carbon film) and dried at room temperature to remove the solvent. Samples were investigated using a Philips EM208 TEM and RADIUS 2.0 software (EMSIS GmbH; Muenster, Germany). Lateral dimensions distributions were analyzed offline using the ImageJ software.

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.
