While hot melt extrusion is now established within the pharmaceutical industry, the prediction of miscibility, processability and structural stability remains a pertinent issue, including the issue of whether molecular interaction is necessary for suitable performance. Here we integrate the use of theoretical and experimental drug-polymer interaction assessment with determination of processabil...

Finding an ideal biomaterial with the proper mechanical properties and biocompatibility has been of intense focus in the field of soft tissue engineering. This paper reports on the synthesis and characterization of a novel crosslinked urethane-doped polyester elastomer (CUPOMC), which was synthesized by reacting a previously developed photocrosslinkable poly (octamethylene maleate citrate) (POM...

The attachment of conjugated polymers (CPs), characterized by their optical and electronic properties excellent processability, to inorganic nanoparticles (NPs), known for specialized ele...

In the last years, functionalized powders are becoming of increasing interest in additive manufacturing (particularly laser powder bed fusion processing, L-PBF), due to their improved flowability and enhanced processability, particularly terms absorbance. Functionalized may also provide higher final mechanical or physical properties manufactured parts, like an increased hardness, a tensile stre...

Abstract To eliminate the negative effect of traditional metal-working fluids and achieve sustainable manufacturing, usage nano-enhanced biolubricant (NEBL) is widely researched in minimum quantify lubrication (MQL) machining. It’s improved tool wear surface integrity have been preliminarily verified by experimental studies. The previous review papers also concluded major influencing factors pr...

The calendering process aims at enhancing the electrode energy density, and improving electronic conductivity, determines final porous micro/mesostructure. In this sense, one of main parameters interest is its impact in porosity (?) electrochemical performance. Here, we present a systematic study conditions (applied calender pressure roll temperature) effect on NMC-based electrodes ? terms acti...
