Abstract Composites of polypropylene (PP) with mica powder and impact modifiers were produced by internal mixer. A major drawback in the use of mica‐filled PP is its low impact resistance. In the present study, the effect of the maleated PP (MAPP) and impact modifiers was evaluated on the composite properties separate…

Rare-earth (RE) doped III-nitrides, prepared by in-situ doping during growth or by ion implantation and annealing, are promising materials for visible light emitting displays. In addition, they are extremely challenging theoretically, on account of the complexity of the sharp inter-4f optical transitions, which are al…

In this work, we calculate the magnetocaloric effect in the series of compounds $({\mathrm{Gd}}_{x}{\mathrm{Tb}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{)}_{5}{\mathrm{Si}}_{4}$. We use the classical Monte Carlo simulation to deal with the $4f$ spin-spin interaction as well as the disorder at the rare-earth sites. The calculated isotherma…

New poly-(3-hydroxybutyrate)-based systems for controlled release of anti-inflammatory and antithrombogenic drugs have been studied. The release occurs via two mechanisms (diffusion and degradation) operating simultaneously. Dipyridamole and indomethacin diffusion processes determine the rate of the release at the ear…

Superhydrophobic nano-wire entanglement structures (NWES) were fabricated by the dipping method, based on an anodization process in oxalic acid. The pore diameter and the depth were influenced by the applied voltage and the anodizing time. To obtain the NWES, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFT, Teflon®: DuPont™) replicatio…
