The binder plays the most important role in the metal injection molding (MIM) process. It provides fluidity of the feedstock mixture and adhesion of the powder to keep the molded shape during injection molding. The binder must provide strength and cohesion for the molded part and must be easy to remove from the molded part. Moreover, it must be recyclable, environmentally friendly and economica...

INTRODUCTION Common bonding techniques for lab-on-chip (LOC) microfluidic devices require surface bio-functionalization to be performed in-situ after the chip has been packaged due to the bio-incompatible features of the bonding technique, including high temperature requirements (e.g. thermal bonding of thermoplastics), use of organic solvents (e.g. PMMA bonding) or plasma activation (e.g. PDMS...

This examination explains the utilization of bio-polymer powder for clayey soil enhancement. The article concentrates around examining strength attitude soils built up with homogenous bio-polymer. Carboxy methyl cellulose was determined as material to build normal soft soil. biopolymer has been added two separated rates (0.5 and 3%) by total weight Different tests were carried out consider impa...

The different methods of the nanopatterning of polymer layers, UV laser ablation, plasma depositing technique, electrochemical deposition and soft lithography are discussed as methods of surface patterning. The different surface functionalities are described, especially the effects of increased surface hydrophobicity/ superhydrophobicity created by coating substrates with low surface energy mat...

This paper presents a comprehensive investigation of the various parameters involved in fabrication molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) sensor for detection cortisol. Parameters such as monomer concentration, electropolymerization cycles, pH, monomer–template ratio, template removal technique, and rebinding time were optimized to establish more consistent effective method MIP sensors. Under con...

Designing bio-inspired, multifunctional organic-inorganic composite materials is one of the most popular current research objectives. Due to the high complexity of biocomposite structures found in nacre and bone, for example, a one-pot scalable and versatile synthesis approach addressing structural key features of biominerals and affording bio-inspired, multifunctional organic-inorganic composi...

The remarkable ability of polymeric additives to reduce the level of frictional drag significantly in turbulent flow, even under extremely low dilutions, is known as turbulent drag-reduction behavior. Several bio-polymers have been assessed as promising drag-reducing agents for the potential replacement of high molecular weight synthetic polymers to improve safety and ameliorate environmental c...

So far stimuli-responsive polymer gels and their application to smart materials have been widely studied. On the other hand, as a novel biomimetic gel, we developed gels with an autonomous self-oscillating function like a heart muscle, which was firstly reported in 1996. We designed the self-oscillating polymers and gels by utilizing the oscillating reaction, called the Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ...
