AB  - Apple pomace flour (APF) with high content of dietary fibers (DF), total polyphenolics (TPCs) and flavonoids (TFCs) was produced at the industrial scale. Bulk and tapped density, swelling, water and oil holding capacity, solubility and hydration density of fine and coarse APF with average particle size 0.16 and 0.50 mm were compared. The effect of wheat flour substitution with 25%, 50% and 75% of fine and coarse APF was studied upon cookies production at the industrial scale and after one year of storage. Coarse APF performed better in respect to sensorial properties, content and retention of dietary compounds and antioxidant (AO) activity. The cookies with optimal share of coarse APF (50%) contained 21 g/100 g of DF and several times higher TPC, TFC as well as AO activity than control cookies, retained well health promoting compounds and maintained an intensely fruity aroma and crispy texture. They were acceptable for consumers according to the hedonic test.

AB  - Using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) thermal characteristics and degradation kinetic parameters of apple pomace flours (APF1-5), obtained by dehydration of apple pomace (originating from single and mixed apple varieties, grown both organically and conventionally) and ground to particle size below of 300 mu m, were determined. Glass transition (T-g) close to common storage temperature (21 degrees C) was ascribed to commercial sample and T-g well above it (28-38 degrees C) to APF1-5. Both values of T-g and low water activity (0.2-0.4) prolong APF shelf-life. The kinetic parameters of the thermal degradation process: activation energy (E) in the range from 83 to118 kJ/mol, logarithmic value of pre-exponential factor (ln(A/min(-)1)) in the range from 20 to 28, and rate constant (k(200)) from 0.143 to 0.278 min(-1) were calculated. APF samples were grouped according to rate constant (k(200)) values of thermal degradation process at baking temperature (200 degrees C). Organic samples were found to have a higher thermal stability.

AB  - The aim of this work was to prepare and characterize the series of segmented polyurethane nanocomposites (PUNC) modified with poly(dimethylsiloxane) and based on montmorillonite (Mt) as a nano-filler. alpha,omega-Dihydroxy-poly(propylene oxide)-b-poly(dimethylsiloxane)-b-poly(propylene oxide) macrodiol was used as the soft segment component, while 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) and 1,4-butanediol (BD) were selected as the hard segment components. PUNC were synthesized with different ratio of hard/soft segments. PUNC were morphologically, structurally, thermally, mechanically and surface characterized by XRD, TEM, FTIR, AFM, TGA, DMTA, tensile test, XPS, contact angle, surface free energy (SFE) and water absorption measurements. Added Mt (1 wt%) was completely delaminated and well dispersed in the form of mixed exfoliated/intercalated layers in the polymer matrix, and that PUNC have more pronounced microphase separated morphology, higher thermal stability, superior mechanical features, enhanced surface properties, as well as outstanding hydrophobicity. Due to the improved features, developed polymers can be considered as candidates for materials with specific biomedical applications or as waterproof coatings.

AB  - Antioxidant (AO) capacity of chocolates with 27, 44 and 75 % cocoa was assessed after production and during twelve months of storage by direct current (DC) polarographic assay, based on the decrease of anodic current caused by the formation of hydroxo-perhydroxyl mercury(II) complex (HPMC) in alkaline solutions of hydrogen peroxide at potentials of mercury oxidation, and two spectrophotometric assays. Relative antioxidant capacity index (RACI) was calculated by taking the average value of the AO assay (the sample mass in all assays was identical). Oxidative stability of chocolate fat was determined by differential scanning calorimetry. Measured parameters and RACI were correlated mutually and with the content of total phenols (Folin-Ciocalteu assay), flavan-3-ols (vanillin and p-dimethylaminocinnamaldehyde assay) and proanthocyanidins (modified Bate-Smith assay). During storage, the studied functional and health-related characteristics remained unchanged. Amongst applied AO assays, the DC polarographic one, whose validity was confirmed by two-way ANOVA and F-test, correlated most significantly with oxidative stability (oxidation onset temperature and induction time). In addition, principal component analysis was applied to characterise chocolate types.

AB  - Polyurethane copolymers based on ,-dihydroxypropyl poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) with a range of soft segment contents were prepared by two-stage polymerization, and their microstructures, thermal, thermomechanical, and surface properties, as well as in vitro hemo- and cytocompatibility were evaluated. All utilized characterization methods confirmed the existence of moderately microphase separated structures with the appearance of some microphase mixing between segments as the PDMS (i.e., soft segment) content increased. Copolymers showed higher crystallinity, storage moduli, surface roughness, and surface free energy, but less hydrophobicity with decreasing PDMS content. Biocompatibility of copolymers was evaluated using an endothelial EA.hy926 cell line by direct contact, an extraction method and after pretreatment of copolymers with multicomponent protein mixture, as well as by a competitive protein adsorption assay. Copolymers showed no toxic effect to endothelial cells and all copolymers, except that with the lowest PDMS content, exhibited resistance to endothelial cell adhesion, suggesting their unsuitability for long-term biomedical devices which particularly require re-endothelialization. All copolymers exhibited excellent resistance to fibrinogen adsorption and adsorbed more albumin than fibrinogen in the competitive adsorption assay, suggesting their good hemocompatibility. The noncytotoxic chemistry of these synthesized materials, combined with their nonadherent properties which are inhospitable to cell attachment and growth, underlie the need for further investigations to clarify their potential for use in short-term biomedical devices.

AB  - In this study, the synthesis, structure and physical properties of two series of thermoplastic polyurethanes based on hydroxypropyl-terminated poly(dimethylsiloxane) (HP-PDMS) or hydroxyethoxypropyl-terminated poly(dimethylsiloxane) (EO-PDMS) as soft segments, and 4,4'-methylenediphenyl diisocyanate and 1,4-butanediol as hard segments were investigated. The polyurethanes were synthesized by two-step polyaddition in solution. The effects of the type and content of PDMS segments on the structure, thermal and surface properties of copolymers were studied by H-1-, C-13-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopies (heteronuclear multiple bond correlation (HMBC) and rotating-frame nuclear Overhauser effect (ROESY)), gel permeation chromatography (GPC), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and water contact angle and water absorption measurements. Thermal properties investigated by DSC indicated that the presence of soft PDMS segments lowers the glass transition and melting temperatures of the hard phase as well as the degree of crystallinity. SEM analysis of the copolymers with a lower soft segment content confirmed the presence of spherulite superstructures, which arise from the crystallization of the hard segments. When compared with polyurethanes prepared from HP-PDMS, the copolymers synthesized from EO-PDMS with the same content of the soft segments had a higher degree of crystallinity, better thermal stability and a less hydrophobic surface. The obtained results showed that the synthesized polyurethanes had good thermal and surface properties, which could be further modified by changing the type or content of the soft segments.

AB  - Thermal stability of a series of palladium(II) complexes with N-heteroaromatic bidentate hydrazone ligands was investigated using a combination of experimental measurements and DFT calculations. All complexes exhibit a reversible second-order transition around 333 K, which can be attributed to structural reorganization of the ligand molecules. Thermal degradation begins in 570-610 K temperature region, with an endothermic peak, followed by exothermic peaks in DSC. TG measurements show a well-defined mass loss corresponding to the initial degradation, while subsequent processes are poorly separated. DFT calculations suggest that the initial degradation step occurs with release of Cl, which then reacts with remaining part of the complex molecule in an exothermic process. This leads to decomposition of the ligand molecule into four fragments corresponding to ethyl chloride, carbon dioxide, methyl amine, and the fragment with the aromatic group. Mass spectrum suggests that creation of these fragments most likely corresponds to the initial degradation, after which some of these coordinate to Pd center, whose coordination sphere is left incomplete by release of Cl. TG measurement to 1123 K indicates that the final degradation product at this temperature is palladium.

AB  - Novel polyurethane copolymers derived from 4,4'-methylenediphenyl diisocyanate (MDI), 1,4-butanediol (BD) and alpha, omega-dihydroxy-[poly(caprolactone)-poly (dimethylsiloxane)-poly(caprolactone)] (a, x-dihydroxy( PCL-PDMS-PCL); (M) over bar (n) 6100 g mol(-1)) were synthesized by a two-step polyaddition reaction in solution. In the synthesis of the polyurethanes, the PCL blocks served as a compatibilizer between the nonpolar PDMS blocks and the polar comonomers, MDI and BD. The synthesis of thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU) with high soft segment contents was optimized in terms of the concentrations of the reactants, the molar ratio of the NCO/OH groups, and the time and temperature of the polyaddition reaction. The structure, composition, and hard MDI/BD segment length of the synthesized polyurethane copolymers were determined by H-1, C-13-NMR, and two-dimensional correlation (COSY, HSQC, and HMBC) spectroscopy, while the hydrogen bonding interactions in the copolymers were analyzed by FT-IR spectroscopy. The influence of the reaction conditions on the structure, molecular weight, thermal, and some physical properties was studied at constant composition of the reaction mixture. A change in the molar ratio of the NCO/OH groups and the reaction conditions modified not only the molecular weight of the synthesized polyurethanes, but also the microstructure and therefore the thermal and physical properties of the copolymers. It was demonstrated that only PCL segments with high soft segment contents crystallize, thereby showing spherulitic morphology.

AB  - A series of novel thermoplastic urethane-siloxane copolymers (TPUSs) based on a α,ω-dihydroxy-[poly(ε-caprolactone)-b-poly(dimethylsiloxane)-b- -poly(ε-caprolactone)] (α,ω-dihydroxy-PCL-PDMS-PCL) triblock copolymer, 4,4'-methylenediphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) and 1,4-butanediol (BD) was synthesized. The effects of the content (9-63 mass %) of hard urethane segments and their degree of polymerization on the properties of the segmented TPUSs were investigated. The structure, composition and hard segment degree of polymerization of the hard segments were examined using 1H- and quantitative 13C-NMR spectroscopy. The degree of crystallinity of the synthesized copolymers was determined using wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS). The surface properties were evaluated by measuring the water contact angle and water absorption. In the series of the TPUSs, the average degree of polymerization of the hard segments was varied from 1.2 to 14.4 MDI-BD units. It was found that average values from 3.8 to 14.4 MDI-BD units were effective segment lengths for crystallization of hard segments, which resulted in an increase in the degree of microphase separation of the copolymers. Spherulite-like superstructures were observed in copolymer films by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), which are believed to arise from the crystallization of the hard segments and/or PCL segments, depending on the content of the hard segments. The surface of the copolymers became more hydrophobic with increasing weight fraction of PDMS. The synthesized copolymers based on a PCL-PDMS-PCL segment showed good thermal stability, which increased with increasing content of soft PDMS segments, as was confirmed by the value of the starting temperature of thermal degradation.

Ispitan je uticaj sadržaja uretanskog tvrdog segmenta (9-63 mas. %) i njegove dužine, tj. stepena polimerizacije, izražene preko broja MDI-BD ostataka, na svojstva segmentiranih TPUSs. Struktura, sastav i stepen polimerizacije tvrdog segmenta su ispitani pomoću 1H- i kvantitativne 13C-NMR spektroskopije. Stepen kristaliničnosti kopolimera je određen metodom difrakcije X-zraka na velikim uglovima (WAXS). Površinska svojstva kopolimera su ispitana određivanjem kontaktnih uglova sa vodom i merenjem apsorpcije vode. U seriji kopolimera dužina tvrdog segmenta izražena preko broja ponavljajućih MDI-BD jedinica je varirana od 1,2 do 14,4. Utvrđeno je da tvrdi segmenti sa 3,8 do 14,4 ponavljajućih MDI-BD jedinica efikasno kristališu, što je rezultovalo u povećanju stepena mikrofazne separacije kopolimera. SEM analiza je pokazala prisustvo sferulitne strukture u kopolimernim filmovima, koja najverovatnije potiče od kristalizacije tvrdih i/ili PCL segmenata, zavisno od sadržaja tvrdih segmenata. Hidrofobnost površine kopolimera je rasla sa povećanjem masenog udela PDMS-a u odgovarajućem uzorku. Sintetisani poliuretani na bazi PCL-PDMS-PCL pokazuju povećanje termičke stabilnosti sa povećanjem sadržaja mekih PDMS segmenata, što je potvrđeno porastom početne temperature degradacije, određene TG analizom.
