"Material Jetting technology has proven to be very useful in the manufacture of parts with a variety of shapes, consistencies, textures, transparencies and colours, and a great diversity of mechanical properties can be a...

Two different approaches are used to produce conducting polymer nano-objects. One is a “top-down” approach which involves laser ablation of conducting polymer films using laser light interference patterns (direct las...

Photo-induced isomerization of azobenzene molecules drives mass migrations in azopolymer samples. The resulting macroscopic directional photo-deformation of the material morphology has found many applications in literatu...

Abstract Understanding and controlling the marine degradation of biodegradable polymers is crucial for sustainable materials engineering and pollution prevention. However, a unified interpretive method that links multisc...

Inorganic materials contain remarkable properties for drug delivery, such as a large surface area and nanoporous structure. Among these materials, CaCO3 microparticles (CMPs) exhibit a high encapsulation efficiency and s...

Films based on biopolymers and loaded with antimicrobial agents are convenient pharmaceutical dosage forms for topical application. Inorganic carriers loaded with these agents lead to composite materials, which combined ...

When polymers are irradiated with heavy ions new chemical groups are created in a few microns of the material. The irradiation changed the polarity and wettability on the surface so that could enhance the biocompatibilit...

Background: Molecular sieves are materials with selective sorption properties, and are used to separate or load mixtures of compounds based on their molecular shape and size. These materials are usually made from porous ...

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a rapidly growing industrial fabrication technology. It provides engineers with a growing library of advanced materials, ranging from thermoplastics to metals and cement-based composites, e...

Cyclodextrins (CDs)are a family of biodegradable cyclic hydrocarbons composed of α-(1,4)linked glucopyranose subunits, the more common containing 6, 7 or 8 glucose units are named α, β and γ-cyclodextrins respectivel...

Abstract Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) helps to reduce Nitrogen Oxide (NO) emissions from diesel engines using catalytic materials made of thermally stable non-precious metals. A dual support SCR catalyst using iro...

In this article, we report the measurement of underwater aerophobicity, through the captive-bubble method, for different polymeric coatings employed to protect microscale and nanoscale flexible electronic devices for sea...

Implantable bioelectrodes with biomimetic and antibiofouling properties are essential for reliable long-term signal acquisition in biomedical applications. Hyaluronic acid (HA), a natural biopolymer, has been incorporate...

Plastic pollution has become a pressing global environmental challenge. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET), one of the most widely used synthetic polymers, represents a major contributor to this problem. The development of...

Neurological disorders such as post-stroke hemiplegia, spinal cord injury, and Parkinson disease represent a major global health burden. Brain-computer interface (BCI), which creates direct communication pathways between...

By the method of microarc oxidation for different types of electrolytes (which include KOH, Na2SiO3, Н2О2, NaOH, NaAlO2, Na5P3O10, NaF) and electrolysis conditions, multifunctional ceramic coatings on a magnesium alloy...

The search for substitutes for synthetic polymers in food packaging has received significant attention from both researchers and the industrial sector. A promising approach involves utilizing edible films based on tapioc...
