Stratified Polymer Grafts: Synthesis and Characterization of Layered Brush and Gel Structures
نویسندگان
چکیده
These complex systems often consist of mechanically graded structures that resist and respond to external normal and shear forces, and therefore protect underlying tissues from incurring any damage. As an example, the human epidermis consists of keratinizing epithelial cells—an elastic layer with low modulus—buried under a layer of dead cells, the stratum corneum , with higher modulus. The stratifi ed epithelium thus acts as the body’s major barrier against abrasion and inhospitable environments. [ 4,5 ]

Synthesis and Characterization of Polymer/Nanosilicagel Nano-composites
In this study, a polymer-silica nanocomposite using the sol-gel method was synthesized in three steps at room temperature. The nanocomposite material was formed with an organic compound (polyethylene glycol) and inorganic silica nanoparticles. Furthermore, the size and the distribution of nanoparticles in the polymer matrix were characterized by a transmission electron microscope (TEM). In add...
