Five new polyamides were synthesized by polycondensation of various aliphatic diacid / aromatic diacids namely, azelaic acid, bis(4-carboxyphenyl)dimethylsilane, 4,4'-oxybis(benzoicacid), isophthalic acid and terephthalic acid with APQ by Yamazaki's phosphorylation method using triphenyl phosphite as condensing agent. The polyamides were characterized by IR spectroscopy, solubility tests, inherent viscosity, X-ray diffraction technique, differential scanning colorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis. The polyamides had inherent viscosities in the range 0.39-0.45 dL/g in N, N-dimethylacetamide at 30 +/- 0.1 A degrees C. The polyamides were soluble in polar aprotic solvents such as N, N-dimethylacetamide, N, N-dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide, N-methylpyrrolidone. X-Ray diffraction studies showed that polyamides were amorphous in nature. The polyamides showed glass transition temperatures in the range 104-205 A degrees C, according to differential scanning calorimetry. Thermogravimetric analysis exhibited initial decomposition temperatures above 348 A degrees C; indicating that these polyamides possessed excellent thermal stability.</p>10apolyamides10aQuinoxaline10asolubility10aThermal properties10aXRD1 aPatil, Vidyadhar, B.1 aSayyed, Maheboob, M.1 aMahanwar, Prakash, A.1 aWadgaonkar, Prakash, P.1 aMaldar, Noormahamad, N.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/polyamides-containing-quinoxaline-moiety-001760nas a2200217   4500008004100000022001400041245006500055210006500120260007500185300001200260490000700272520100800279653001601287653001501303653002701318653003601345100001801381700002101399700002601420856009601446       2015                        eng d  a1566-254300aStudies on melt processable biocomposites of polylactic acid0 aStudies on melt processable biocomposites of polylactic acid  a233 SPRING ST, NEW YORK, NY 10013 USAbSPRINGER/PLENUM PUBLISHERScSEP  a321-3330 v233 a<p>Melt processable microcrystalline cellulose (MCC)/poly(lactic acid) (PLA) composites were successfully prepared by twin-screw extrusion. Several characterization techniques were used to investigate the effect of MCC on rheological behavior, morphology, crystallization and melting behavior of the PLA and structure-property correlation of the MCC/PLA composites has been established. Rheological measurements showed that the addition of MCC has a dramatic influence on the low frequency relaxations of PLA chains and above 5 % of MCC, it forms percolated network structure. Differential scanning calorimeter analysis showed that MCC acted as nucleating agent enhancing crystallization below the percolation concentration. Properties of MCC/PLA composites have been compared with that of talc and CaCO3 filled composites. Talc is found to be more effective in crystallizing PLA than MCC and CaCO3. MCC/PLA composites are found be melt processable like that of talc and CaCO3 filled PLA composites.</p>10aBiopolymers10acomposites10aRheological properties10aStructure-property relationship1 aJoseph, Seena1 aDeenadayalan, E.1 aMahanwar, Prakash, A.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/studies-melt-processable-biocomposites-polylactic-acid-0
