In this research, the exponential stretched based hyperelastic strain energy was modified to provide the unstressed initial configuration. To this end, as the first step, the model was calibrated by the experimental data to find the best material parameters. The fitting results indicated material stability in large deformations and basic loading modes. In the second step, the initial pseudo str...

Background: The accuracy and the reproducibility of radiotherapy can be provided by using immobilization devices such as thermoplastic masks. In head and neck cancer radiotherapy, the patients are mostly immobilized by using thermoplastic masks. In this study, the effect of the thermoplastic mask to the surface and buildup region doses was investigated by using Markus parallel plate ion chamber...

Thermoplastics elastomers, its processing and properties, electrical conductivity application as EMI shielding materials.

applications of thermoplastic composites have developed extensively. the thermoplastic composites in comparison with the thermoset composites have many advantages. thermoplastic composites can be melted and remolded many times. the duration of manufacturing process of these composites is short, producing very tough material, and the welding ability and multiple recyclings are their further adva...

Abstract Self-repairable materials strive to emulate curable and resilient biological tissue; however, their performance is currently insufficient for commercialization purposes because mending toughening are mutually exclusive. Herein, we report a carbonate-type thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer that self-heals at 35 °C exhibits tensile strength of 43 MPa; this as strong the soles used in f...
