objective: tissue engineering is an (interdisciplinary field that applies polymeric scaffolds to control tissue formation in three-dinemtion (3d). the scaffold provides the microenvironment (synthetic temporary extracellular matrix) for regenerative cells, supporting cell attachment, proliferation, differentiation, and neo tissue genesis due to their suitable chemical, physical and biological s...

Different classes of polymeric materials such as nanomaterials, sol-gel materials, conducting polymers, functional polymers and biomaterials have been used in the design of sensors and biosensors. Various methods have been used, for example from direct adsorption, covalent bonding, crossing-linking with glutaraldehyde on composites to mixing the enzymes or use of functionalized beads for the de...

In nanocomposites, the interphase thickness may be comparable to size of nano-particles, and hence, effect layers on mechanical properties nanocomposites substantial. The nano-particle ratio variability across are most important affecting parameters overall behavior nanocomposites. this study, elastic elasto-plastic a polymeric clay nanocomposite (PCN) using functionally graded (FG) is investig...

magnesium hydroxide nanostructures as an effective flame retardant were synthesized by a facile and rapid microwave reaction. the effect of different surfactants such as cationic, anionic and polymeric on the morphology of magnesium hydroxide nanostructures was investigated. nanostructures were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem) and fourier transform in...

conducting polymers, because of their special properties, are used to introduce conductive polymeric composites. also, clays have recently been used for preparation of polymer composites with enhanced mechanical and thermal properties. the aim of this work is to study the synergetic effect of the co-presence of conducting polyaniline and montmorillonite in the polyethylene matrix. polyethylene ...

two new samples of poly(amide-imide)/nanocomposites containing bicyclo segment and dibenzalaceton moiety in the main chain were synthesized by a solution intercalation technique. poly(amide-imide) (pai) 8 as a source of polymer matrix was synthesized by the direct polycondensation reaction of n,n´-bis(4-carboxyphenyl)bicyclo[2,2,2]oct-7-ene-2,3,5,6-tetracarboxylic diimide 3 with 2,6-bis(4-amino...
