Volume fraction and spatial repartition of fillers impact the physical properties of rubber. Extended percolating networks of nano-sized fillers significantly modify the macroscopic mechanical properties of rubbers. Random models that describe the multiscale microstructure of rubber and efficient Fourier-based numerical algorithms are combined to predict the material’s mechanical properties. Fr...

For the first time, an interpenetrating phase polymer nanocomposite formed by the percolation of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in polystyrene (PS) has been quantitatively characterized through electrical conductivity measurements and melt rheology. Both sets of measurements, in conjunction with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images, indicate the presence of a continuous phase of per...

The flexible superhydrophobic thermoplastic polyurethane(TPU) porous material was prepared by heat-induced phase separation method with two cooling steps. influence of the preparation process on microstructure discussed in depth. microstructure, hydrophobicity and specific surface area TPU materials were analyzed detail. wettability, selectivity, saturated adsorption capacity rate, mechanical p...

In situ forming implants (ISFIs) have shown promise in drug delivery applications due to their simple manufacturing and minimally invasive administration. Precise, reproducible control of drug release from ISFIs is essential to their successful clinical application. This study investigated the effect of varying the molar ratio of different molecular weight (Mw) poly(D,L-lactic-co-glycolic acid)...

Abstract The non-equilibrium process of transfer the momentum polymer media with an evolving nonequilibrium relaxation microstructure is considered. For basic conditions deformation, regularities for structural and dynamic components stress tensor conjugate forces are obtained analyzed, which consistent experiment.

The current study emphasizes the synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) and impact of hydrophilic polymer polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) coating concentration as well as anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) loading on saturation magnetization for target drug delivery applications. Iron oxide nanoparticles particles were synthesized by a reformed version of the co-precipitation method. The coating ...
