Progress in Reaction Mechanisms and Reactor Technologies for Thermochemical Recycling of Poly(methyl methacrylate)

Synthesis and thermal characterization of polymethyl methacrylate

PMMA with molecular mass (PMMA Mw: 1.2×105) was synthesized through AIBN initiated free radical polymerization methyl methacrylate at 100 ± 1°C.The synthesized polymer was characterized through GPC coupled with RI detector in presence of THF as mobile phase at 1.0 mL/ min and simultaneous TG-DTA-DTG in nitrogen. TG data were used to investigate the non-isothermal kinetics of solid-state decompo...

investigating the integration of translation technologies into translation programs in iranian universities: basis for a syllabus design in translation technology

today, information technology and computers are indispensable tools of any profession and translation technologies have become an indispensable part of translator’s workstation. with the increasing demands for high productivity and speed as well as consistency and with the rise of new demands for translation and localization, it is necessary for translators to be familiar with market demands an...

Ageing and moisture uptake in polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) bone cements☆

Bone cements are extensively employed in orthopaedics for joint arthroplasty, however implant failure in the form of aseptic loosening is known to occur after long-term use. The exact mechanism causing this is not well understood, however it is thought to arise from a combination of fatigue and chemical degradation resulting from the hostile in vivo environment. In this study, two commercial bo...

Salvage of Infected Nasal Reconstruction with a Polymethyl Methacrylate Spacer

Total nasal reconstruction is a challenging multistage procedure. Infections can destroy the cartilage framework and seriously compromise the result. The use of polymethyl methacrylate with antibiotics as a spacer has been described in the treatment of skeletal infections. Using this same principle, the use of a polymethyl methacrylate with antibiotics spacer for an infected nasal reconstructio...
