Copper sulfide nanoparticles (CuS NPs) incorporated alginate-based hydrogel (CuS@Hydrogel) nanocomposites to perform photothermal therapy with wound healing ability.

A time and material saving method to investigate multiple processing of polyolefins is developed. A commercial rheometer is used to emulate a thermo-mechanical treatment of the polymer during processing. A kinetic model is suggested to predict the change of the molecular weight as a function of time, temperature and in-phase shear stress.

Facile synthesis of a polyaniline/reduced graphene oxide composite for high-performance supercapacitor electrodes.

• The interphase layer made of the matrix rubber in the glassy state is formed around the nano-particle.
• The nano-particle behaves as an apparent single particle together with the interphase layer and the interphase layers apparently increase the nano-particle volume fraction.
• The proportional limit strains are smaller, although the fracture strains are slightly smaller.
• The fracture toughness of the composites increases as the (apparent) volume fraction increases.
• The fracture toughness monotonically increases for the nano-composites with low crosslinking density of the matrix rubber.

In this study, dual protection was applied to the drug loading, and emulsion electrospinning was used to prepare nanofibers with a core-shell structure, simultaneously achieving long-term controlled drug release.

A synergetic nucleating agent of talc and _D-sorbitol combination is incorporated into PLA via melt blending for enhancing the crystallization of PLA.

This work demonstrates that a little quantity of 4,4′-methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) can improve the interfacial adhesion between thermoplastic starch (TPS) and poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate). The mechanical qualities, phase morphology, thermal behavior, crystalline structure, and water absorption have greatly increased.

High performance PCB with 15AT solder resist.

A biobased benzoxazine monomer and a main-chain type bio-benzoxazine copolymer have been synthesized for achieving high performance thermosets derived from natural renewable resources.

Relative energy distribution of proton transfer.

Blends of isotactic P3HB with atactic P3HB and P34HB were prepared via solution casting to address i-P3HB's limited processing window. The obtained blends exhibited reduced melting temperatures, disrupted crystallization, and improved flexibility. These improvements facilitate processing i-P3HB at lower temperatures, preventing thermal degradation and broadening its the processing window. They also expand i-P3HB's applicability in packaging, textiles, and other sectors.
