Thermoplastic Copolyester Elastomers
(Handbook of Engineering and Speciality Thermoplastics: Polyethers and Polyesters, 2011)
In this chapter the preparation, structure and properties of thermoplastic copolyester elastomers, TPEE, are presented. TPEEs are multiblock copolymers built up from so-called short crystallizable hard segments and long ...
Synthesis and characterization of silver/poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) hydrogel nanocomposite obtained by in situ radiolytic method
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2011)
This work describes radiolytic synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) within the poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) (PVP) hydrogel. The hydrogel matrix was obtained by gamma irradiation-induced cross-linking, while the in ...
Composite nanostructured hydroxyapatite/yttrium stabilized zirconia dental inserts - The processing and application as dentin substitutes
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2018)
The objective of the study was to process nano-structured hydroxyapatite/yttrium-stabilized zirconia bioceramic and to investigate the possibilities of its application as dentin replacement in the form of dental inserts. ...
Bioactive hydroxyapatite/graphene composite coating and its corrosion stability in simulated body fluid
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2015)
The hydroxyapatite/graphene (HAP/Gr) composite was electrodeposited on Ti using the electrophoretic deposition process to obtain uniform bioactive coating with improved mechanical strength and favorable corrosion stability ...
Optimization of Al2O3 particle modification and UHMWPE fiber oxidation of EVA based hybrid composites: Compatibility, morphological and mechanical properties
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2018)
Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE, PE)/oxidized PE (ox-PE) fibers and alumina reinforcement were used in preparation of poly (ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) (EVA)/hydrolyzed EVA (EVAOH) based composites. Different ...
Preparation, characterization and mechanical properties of Bi12SiO20-PMMA composite films
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2014)
This paper investigates processing and characterization of polymer composite material PMMA-Bi12SiO20 (BSO). Thin films of pure PMMA and composites with 0.5 and 1.0 wt% of Bi12SiO20 powder were made using solution casting ...
The effect of graphene loading on mechanical, thermal and biological properties of poly(vinyl alcohol)/graphene nanocomposites
(Elsevier Science Inc, New York, 2016)
Poly(vinyl alcohol)/graphene (PVA/Gr) nanocomposite was synthesized with the aim of developing a novel improved material. The PVA/Gr nanocomposite was characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, Raman ...
Improvement of mechanical properties and antibacterial activity of crosslinked electrospun chitosan/poly (ethylene oxide) nanofibers
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
In this study conditions for green crosslinking with citric acid of chitosan/PEO (polyethylene oxide) nanofibers were evaluated. The thermal in situ crosslinking enabled penetration of crosslinking agent into the matrix ...
Antimicrobial P(HEMA/IA)/PVP semi-interpenetrating network hydrogels
(Springer, New York, 2013)
New semi-interpenetrating networks (semi-IPNHs) (P(HEMA/IA)/PVP) were prepared by free radical crosslinking copolymerization of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and itaconic acid (IA, 5 mol%), in the presence of poly(vinyl ...
Multi-level finite element analysis for progressive damage behavior of HA/PEEK composite porous structure
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2013)
A three-dimensional multi-level finite element (FE) modeling approach has been developed to simulate mechanical response and progressive damage behavior of hydroxyapatite/polyetheretherketone (HA/PEEK) porous structures ...
