Polyamide 6 (PA6) is used in many applications due to its advantages and improving its properties seems essential. For this purpose in the present study, PA6 was melt compounded with various multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) contents and then was foamed using Azodi carbon amide (ACA) as blowing agent under different injection molding conditions. Morphological properties were investigated u...

Aim of the Study: This study aims to evaluate cytotoxicity different stereolithographic 3D printed materials and polyetheretherketone for varying time intervals using MTT assay by application these intra-oral usage. Materials Methods: Three groups disc specimens (5 mm diameter, 2 thick) were manufactured either selective laser melting (PA6 nylon, fiber reinforced PA6 nylon) or milling (PEEK). T...

Thermoplastic-based fibre metal laminates (FMLs) have gained increasing interest in the automotive industry due to their forming potential—especially at higher temperatures—into complex components compared thermoset-based ones. However, several challenges arise while processing thermoplastic-based FMLs. One one hand, room temperature (RT) leads early failure modes, e.g., fracture and delaminati...

Eighty-eight Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates, most of them from the Collection of Bacterial Strains of the Institut Pasteur, Paris, were analysed for their pyoverdine-mediated iron incorporation system by different methods, including pyoverdine isoelectrofocusing analysis, pyoverdine-mediated growth stimulation, immunoblot detection of (ferri)pyoverdine outer-membrane receptor and pyoverdine-fa...
