Photoemissive Materials: Preparation, Properties, and Uses

Suture materials, 1980s: properties, uses, and abuses.

The development of modern suture material offers the dermatologic surgeon an important choice in would closure. This review, although prejudiced in some instances by the author's experience, likes, and dislikes, is an attempt to clarify the difference between various absorbable and nonabsorbable sutures. Properties of suture material are discussed in detail. Guidelines for choice in regard to w...

Preparation and Catalytic Properties of Ti-SBA-15 Mesoporous Materials

Ti-SBA-15 mesoporous materials were directly synthesized via a hydrothermal process and characterized by using nitrogen adsorption-desorption measurements, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, diffuse reflectance ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, and infrared ray spectroscopy. The effect of synthesis temperatures on the structure and catalytic effic...

Preparation and Properties of Magnesium Porous Materials for Medical Applications

Magnesium is a biocompatible and biodegradable metal which possesses suitable mechanical properties for load-bearing applications in orthopaedics. Moreover, magnesium ions, the products of magnesium corrosion, improve growth of the new bone tissue. Implementation of the porosity into these materials compromises values of mechanical properties closer to the values of nature bone and allows the i...
