Oriented polymeric sheets exhibiting dichroism and articles containing the same.
(2007-12-20)
Provided is an oriented polymeric sheet comprising a photochromic-dichroic material, wherein the sheet exhibits dichroism in an activated state. Also provided is a multilayer composite comprising at least a support layer ...
Review of multifarious applications of Poly (lactic acid)
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)
Poly (lactic acid) is considered to be a promising alternative to petroleum-based polymers due to its renewability, biodegradability, biocompatibility, and good mechanical properties. Because of the high cost, the applications ...
Micro-injection moulding of poly(vinylpyrrolidone-vinyl acetate) binary and ternary amorphous solid dispersions.
(MDPI, 2019-05)
Micro-injection moulding (µIM) was used for the production of enteric tablets of plasticised
and unplasticised solid dispersions of poly(vinylpyrrolidone-vinyl acetate) (PVPVA), and the effect
of the mechanical and thermal ...
Investigation of ethylene oxide-co-propylene oxide for dissolution enhancement of hot-melt extruded solid dispersions.
(Elsevier, 2018-02)
The optimal design of amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) formulations requires the use of excipients to maintain supersaturation and improve physical stability in order to ensure shelf-life stability and better absorption ...
Reinforced polylactic acid for use in high strength biodegradable medical implants.
(2016)
Traditional medical implants, such as orthopedic screws, pins, and
coronary stents, are almost exclusively metallic due to high mechanical
strength requirements. However, issues related to the use of permanent
metallic ...
Effect of Chemical Treatments and HDPE-g-MA on the physical and mechanical behaviour of HDPE/ natural fibre composites.
(2013)
Many authors have reported on the use of natural fibres (raw or chemically modified) as
reinforcing elements for high density polyethylene (HDPE). These materials have generated a lot of
interest due to their low cost ...
Characteristics of the treated calcium carbonate particles with stearic acid using different treating methods.
(Elsevier, 2016-08)
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is often treated with stearic acid (SA) to decrease its polarity. However, the method of application of the SA treatments has a strong influence on their interface structure and distribution. ...
Durum wheat seed germination response to hydrogel coatings and moisture under drought stress.
(Science Publications, 2016-11)
Abstract: Technologies that can increase crop production while
maintaining low pollution are essential for sustainable agriculture. This
study compares the germination performance of Durum wheat seeds
(Triticum durum ...
Synthesis and characterization of high density polyethylene / peat ash composites.
(Elsevier, 2016-06)
A new type of polymer composite was synthesized from one industrial waste, peat ash, at varying mixing ratios of high density polyethylene (HDPE) and the resulting products were characterized using different experiments ...
Processing and characterisation of various polymer blends to develop implant for tissue engineering applications.
(AESS, 2013)
In the past two decades, the repair and reconstruction of musculoskeletal tissues using
biodegradable scaffold materials has emerged as one of the most promising approaches in tissue
engineering. The aim of this study ...
