Multi-component Polymer Systems Comprising Wood as Bio-based Component and Thermoplastic Polymer Matrices – An Overview

Multi-Component Diffusion in Polymer-Solvent Systems

Polymer Percolation Threshold in Multi-Component HPMC Matrices Tablets.

INTRODUCTION The percolation theory studies the critical points or percolation thresholds of the system, where one component of the system undergoes a geometrical phase transition, starting to connect the whole system.The application of this theory to study the release rate of hydrophilic matrices allows to explain the changes in release kinetics of swellable matrix type system and results in a...

Multi-source/component spray coating for polymer solar cells.

A multi-source/component spray coating process to fabricate the photoactive layers in polymer solar cells is demonstrated. Well-defined domains consisting of polymer:fullerene heterojunctions are constructed in ambient conditions using an alternating spray deposition method. This approach preserves the integrity of the layer morphology while forming an interpenetrating donor (D)/acceptor (A) ne...

Component-Based Software Development with Component Technologies: An Overview

Component-based software development (CBSD) is an approach in which large software systems are built by assembling a set of previously developed software components that can be independently deployed, configured, adapted and connected together within appropriate software architecture. The benefits of this technology include, a shorter development time at a reduced cost with an increased degree ...

Bonding of thermoplastic polymer microfluidics

Thermoplastics are highly attractive substrate materials for microfluidic systems, with important benefits in the development of low cost disposable devices for a host of bioanalytical applications. While significant research activity has been directed towards the formation of microfluidic components in a wide range of thermoplastics, sealing of these components is required for the formation of...
