The freeze point of each blend was measured using a Phase Technology® FP-70X freeze point analyser conforming to the requirements of the ASTM D5972 method.
The rate and extent of enzymatic hydrolysis by the action of cellulase were measured using the DNS method glucose assay of four blends of varying MMT.
ROS were measured using DCF.
Angles were measured using ImageJ.
The optical absorption of the P3HT/PCBM blend films was measured using a PerkinElmer 35 UV-visible spectrophotometer on quartz substrates (Waltham, MA, USA).
Further, low temperature cracking potential of RAPs blended binders was measured using bending beam rheometer (BBR) test.
The crystallinity and melting temperatures of LPET in blends with BPET was measured using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).
In vitro aerosolization and deposition a blend of budesonide and lactose are measured using an Andersen Cascade Impactor.
Coverage is measured using satellites.
Porosity of the monolith samples is measured using a gravimetric method according to the following equation: Porosity % = 1 - V 1 / V 0 × 100, where V 1 is the volume of a certain weight of the PVA/SA blend powder and V0 is the volume of the same weight of PVA/SA blend monolith.
