Epoxy resin is one of the most widely used thermosetting polymers and commonly applied in power electronics field. The intrinsic properties epoxy can be improved by introduction inorganic filler, thus fabricating a composite material. In this paper, different scales modified boron nitride (BN, 1 ?m, 10 ?m) were to improve thermal conductivity resin. surfaces BN modification silane coupling agen...

Abstract Epoxy resins are widely used polymers from which a variety of products derived and applied in many industries. Most epoxy still obtained mainly fossil feedstocks, such as epichlorohydrin bisphenol A, also highly toxic. Additionally, resin forming non-biodegradable waste at their end life. Recently the number studies aiming to find solutions other raw materials for replacement has incre...

Plastination is a process of tissue preservation by embedding tissues with synthetic materials, as silicone polymers and epoxy resins to produce dry, durable, handy and natural looking specimens useful as a unique tool for teaching of anatomy, pathology, radiology and surgery. Since 1980s, (when it was invented by Professor Gunther Von Hagens experimentally), plastination technique, quality and...

The synthesis of polymers with tailored reactive functionalities plays an important role in the development of various materials for industrial and biomedical applications. In addition, there is a need to develop chemistry that is based on the use of biodegradable and renewable resources.1 Appreciable amounts of natural polyesters occur in higher plants as structural components, for example, cu...

Through the amide formation between amine-functionalized polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) and oxygen-containing groups (e.g., epoxy and carboxyl groups) in graphene oxide (GO), we have synthesized POSS-functionalized graphene nanosheets (POSS-graphene), which are highly soluble in various organic solvents attractive for multifunctional applications. Thin films from solution casting o...
