The energy and the flux of the oxygen ions at different positions in the plasma were measured by a retarding field analyzer. The fluence of the oxygen ions was varied from sample to sample in the range of similar to 5x10(16) to 2x10(17) ions cm(-2) by changing the irradiation period. The pre- and the post-irradiated samples were characterized by the weight loss, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) techniques. The weight of the PI and FEP samples decreased with increasing the ion fluence. However, the erosion yield for the PI is found to be higher, by almost a factor five, when compared with that of FEP. On the surface region of irradiated samples, the concentrations of the carbon, fluorine, and oxygen and their corresponding chemical bonds have changed appreciably. Moreover, blisters and nanoglobules were also observed even at a fluence of similar to 10(17) ions cm(-2) . This oxygen ion fluence is almost two orders of magnitude lower than that of the 5 eV atomic oxygen, which a satellite encounters in the space, at the low Earth orbit, during its mission period of about 7 years.</p>10aatomic oxygen10aECR plasma10aFEP10aFTIR10aPolyimide10aSEM10aweight loss10aXPS1 aMajeed, Riyadh, M A Abdul1 aPurohit, V., S.1 aBhoraskar, S., V.1 aMandale, A., B.1 aBhoraskar, Vasant, N.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/irradiation-effects-12-ev-oxygen-ions-polyimide-and-fluorinated-ethylene-propylene-001543nas a2200253   4500008004100000022001400041245005700055210005700112260008600169300001100255490000700266520074800273653002201021653001401043653001401057653001401071653000901085653001601094100002201110700002701132700001901159700002501178856008601203       2013                        eng d  a1544-047800aEnzymatic degumming of silk with microbial proteases0 aEnzymatic degumming of silk with microbial proteases  a325 CHESTNUT ST, SUITE 800, PHILADELPHIA, PA 19106 USAbTAYLOR & FRANCIS INCcJAN  a98-1110 v103 a<p>Degumming of Chinese bivoltine silk with alkaline proteases from various microbial sources was investigated and compared with commercial enzymes. Among the proteases tested, two fungal and two actinomycete proteases were promising, which showed weight loss similar to conventional method (19.58% to 21.78%). Conidiobolus brefeldianus and BOA-2 proteases were best enzymes, which showed weight loss similar to conventional method with low enzyme concentrations and in shorter time. No significant differences were found in tensile strength or elongation at break by enzymatic degumming indicating that there was no damage to the fiber. Scanning electron micrographs showed the sericin deposits were removed and the fibers were separated.</p>10aAlkaline Protease10abivoltine10adegumming10amicrobial10aSilk10aweight loss1 aMore, Shivaji, V.1 aKhandelwal, Harish, B.1 aJoseph, M., A.1 aLaxman, Ryali, Seeta  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/enzymatic-degumming-silk-microbial-proteases-001731nas a2200229   4500008004100000022001400041245013800055210006900193260000800262300000900270490000700279520093700286653002201223653001401245653001401259653000901273653001601282100002101298700002001319700003101339856013101370       2017                        eng d  a1544-047800aSilk degumming and utilization of silk sericin by hydrolysis using alkaline protease from beauveria Sp.

In this study, degumming of Chinese bivoltine raw silk fibres with alkaline protease produced by Beauveria sp. (MTCC 5184) is studied. Complete degumming was obtained in 45 min with 75 units of enzyme per gram of silk. Degumming was found to be optimal at 50°C and pH 9.0. Scanning electron micrographs showed that the sericin deposits were removed and the obtained fibres were clean, separated, had smooth feel with shine as compared to untreated fibres. Sericin isolated from silk cocoon (by-product which goes waste) was hydrolyzed with the same alkaline protease obtained from Beauveria sp. to get small molecular weight peptides. These peptides can be utilized further for cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and various industrial applications.10aAlkaline Protease10abivoltine10adegumming10aSilk10aweight loss1 aMore, Snehal, V.1 aChavan, Sakalya1 aPrabhune, Asmita, Ashutosh  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/silk-degumming-and-utilization-silk-sericin-hydrolysis-using-alkaline-protease-beauveria-sp
