Flori R. Sari, Vivian Soetikno, A. Rajarajan, Thandavarayan Thandavarayan, Wawaimuli Arozal, Somasundaram Arumugam, Rizkiani Juleshodia, Citra Humairah, Kenichi Watanabe
Oxidative stress plays pivotal roles in heightening the pathology of diabetic nephropathy. Widely known free radical scavenger, edaravone (3-methyl-1-phenyl-2-pyrazoline-5-one), has been proven to give benefits in cardiovascular and brain diseases by attenuating oxidative stress. Additionally, whether...

Properties and Thermal Decomposition of SBS Flame Retarded with Phosphorus- and Nitrogen- Containing Flame Retardants
Yiren Huang, Zhengzhou Wang
Flame retardant and mechanical properties of ammonium polyphosphate (APP), melamine phosphate (MP) and their combination with dipentaerythritol (DPER) in styrene-butadiene-styrene rubber (SBS) were studied. The results indicate that MP is more effective in raising limiting oxygen index (LOI) in SBS than...
