For drugs with short half-lives, transdermal delivery provides a continuous noninvasive mode of administration. For charged drug molecules, the transdermal delivery can be assisted by the application of direct constant current, which drives the drug through the skin by electrostatic repulsion (method called iontophoresis) [1]. An important component of a drug delivery patch is the artificial me...

In tribological applications, because of the corrosive problems of the metals in water applications, poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) and its composites are preferred for rubbing materials. As it is known PEEK is a high performance semi-crystalline thermoplastic polymer and has received significant attention in recent years. This is due to its high mechanical strength and elastic modulus, high to...

Poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK) is a high-performance thermoplastic with distinctive combination of corrosion resistance, thermo-oxidative stability and outstanding physical mechanical properties at high temperatures. A pertinent step forward in the development this has been inclusion electrically conductive fillers to expand its functionality. In review an overview research on PEEK composites ...
