Abstract Biodegradable poly(trimethylene carbonate) (PTMC) networks were prepared by photopolymerization of linear (L)‐ and star (S)‐shaped PTMC macromonomers for potential tissue engineering scaffold applications. The L‐ ( M n , 6400) and S‐shaped ( M n , 5880) PTMC macromonomers were synthesized using 1,4‐butane dio…

Synthesis of poly(L-lactic acid) typically requires a long process time with the use of tin octoate as a catalyst. In this study microwave-assisted polymerization of lactic acid has been studied both with the aid and without the aid of tin octoate catalyst. While the presence of tin octoate assists in the polymerizati…

Bismuth borate glasses with Bi(2)O(3) concentration of 20-66 mol% were prepared by melt quenching and devitrified by heat treatment above their glass transition temperatures. All glasses show a strong tendency towards crystallization on annealing that increases with Bi(2)O(3) concentration. The crystalline phases form…

PbSe nanotubes were successfully synthesized by a reactive template approach via solvothermal transformation of trigonal selenium (t-Se) nanotubes in ethylene glycol. It was revealed that a relatively high reaction temperature (e.g., 200 degrees C), adequate ascorbic acid, and proper lead source were crucial for prepa…

BACKGROUND: Polyvinylchloride (PVC) is often adopted for making medical devices. OBJECTIVE: Testing the hypothesis that materials degradation occurs in PVC endotracheal tubes during infant ventilation, thus releasing the known toxic plasticizer di-(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Endotracheal tub…

We report measurements of the frequency-dependent shear moduli of aging colloidal systems that evolve from a purely low-viscosity liquid to a predominantly elastic glass or gel. Using microrheology, we measure the local complex shear modulus G;{*}(omega) over a very wide range of frequencies (from 1Hzto100kHz ). The c…

Abstract A new method for the preparation of microporous particles of isotactic polypropylene (IPP) using thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) was developed in this study, in which chloroform was used as a diluent and Span80 was used as a pore‐forming agent. The morphology and properties of the microporous IPP pa…

The carbon fiber resin composite (CFRC) wound high-pressure vessel is the key equipment of high-pressure hydrogen storage technology. High pressure includes high energy in operation, so it is important to analyze the mechanics of this type of vessel. The constitutive performance of CFRC wound layer is anisotropic, and…

A technique that employs a single laser beam is proposed for recording the retardance of an optical anisotropic object. The retardance pattern is converted into a polarization pattern using a quarter-wave plate and recorded on a polarization-sensitive medium. The recording medium is illuminated by homogeneous polarize…
