Delve into the realm of cutting-edge sensor technology with graphene-polymer composites. These sensors, ultra-thin yet exceptionally powerful, are set to transform how we monitor health, environment, and much more. Graphene’s conductivity combined with polymer flexibility yields a sensor that’s both highly sensitive and adaptable to any surface.
The Synthesis, Characterization and Biocompatibility of Poly(ester urethane) Polyhedral Oligomeric Silesquioxane Nanocomposites
Researchers have developed biodegradable and biocompatible polyurethane/POSS nanocomposites, offering potential in biomedical applications like tissue engineering. These nanocomposites, combining silicon-based POSS with polyurethane, exhibit improved properties like stiffness, strength, and lower surface tension.
Stabilization of Hot-Melt Extrusion Formulations Containing Solid Solutions Using Polymer Blends
In this study, researchers worked on improving the stability of a medication called clotrimazole, commonly used in treating fungal infections. They used a technique called hot-melt extrusion, blending two types of polymers – hydroxypropyl cellulose and poly(ethylene oxide) – to create films that carry the drug.
Modeling of Magnetic Properties of Polymer Bonded Nd–Fe–B Magnets with Surface Modifications
The effects of surface modification on the magnetic properties of polymer-bonded Nd–Fe–B magnets have been studied.
Controlling the Water Absorbency of Agricultural Polymers
Blending special bioabsorbable polyphosphate fillers, biodegradable soy protein isolate, plasticizer, and adhesion promoter in a high-shear mixer followed by compression molding resulted in a relatively water-resistant, biodegradable soy-protein polymer composite.
Atomise Polymers to Maximise Profits
The difficulties of mass-producing micron-sized high-quality powders from molten polymers can be avoided by using high pressure gas atomisation methods.
