Dynamics of confined water in different environments
We report dielectric and calorimetric results on water solutions of poly (vinyl methyl ether) (PVME), poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) and pentaethylene glycol (5EG). In spite of the fact that water is confined i...

Self-confined polymer dynamics in miscible binary blends
The segmental dynamics of PVME within the single-phase state of poly(styrene)/poly(vinyl methyl ether) blends (PS/PVME) was examined by dielectric spectroscopy. A particular attention has been given to the hig...

Segmental order and dynamics of polymer chains confined in block copolymer lamellar mesophases: NMR and dielectric relaxation studies
The PDMS lamellar sublayers of a poly(styrene)-poly(dimethylsiloxane) diblock (PS-PDMS) and PS-PDMS-PS triblocks are investigated by NMR and dielectric spectroscopy. Some segments of the confined PDMS chains d...

Methyl group dynamics in a confined glass
We present a neutron scattering investigation on methyl group dynamics in glassy toluene confined in mesoporous silicates of different pore sizes. The experimental results have been analysed in terms of a barr...

Secondary relaxation in two engineering thermoplastics by neutron scattering and dielectric spectroscopy
We present a preliminary investigation of the dynamics of glassy polycarbonate (PC) and polysulfone (PSF) by means of quasielastic neutron scattering and dielectric spectroscopy. Whereas the consideration of p...

Methyl group dynamics in a glass and its crystalline counterpart by neutron scattering
Methyl group dynamics in the same sample of sodium acetate trihydrate in crystalline and glassy states have been investigated by neutron scattering. Measurements have been carried out in the whole temperature ...

The rotational barrier for methyl group dynamics in anhydrous sodium acetate
Methyl group dynamics in anhydrous sodium acetate have been investigated by neutron scattering. The results in the rotational tunnelling and crossover regimes can be understood in terms of a threefold rotation...

Mathematic predictive models for calculating copper, iron and zinc dialysability in infant formulas
Differences in the dialysability of a mineral element from infant formulas of the same type were detected in a previous study. As these may be due to the effects that different levels of the components of the...

In vitro dialyzability of zinc from different salts used in the supplementation of infant formulas
Seven zinc salts—acetate, chloride, lactate, sulfate, citrate, gluconate, and oxide—were added to milk—and soy-based infant formulas to estimate possible differences in zinc availability depending on the type ...

Dialyzability of iron, zinc, and copper of different types of infant formulas marketed in Spain
The bioavailability of trace elements in infant formulas is affected by different physiological and dietetic factors. In vitro methods based on element dialyzability have been proposed to estimate the bioavail...

Dynamics of the α-relaxation in glass-forming polymeric systems. Study by neutron scattering and relaxation techniques
The dynamics of the α-relaxtion in three glass-forming polymeric systems has been studied by means of quasielastic neutron scattering as well as by relaxation techniques. By using these techniques, we have covere...
