In the past decades, there has been a significant increase in the use of polymers for biomedical applications. The global medical polymer market size was valued at USD 19.92 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.0% from 2023 to 2030...
Microparticles have been applied in many areas, ranging from drug delivery, diagnostics, cosmetics, personal care, and the food industry to chemical and catalytic reactions, sensing, and environmental remediation. Coating further provides additional...
The ever-increasing global population necessitates a secure and ample energy supply, the majority of which is derived from fossil fuels. However, due to the immense energy demand, the exponential depletion of these non-renewable energy sources is bot...
Currently, biobased epoxy resins derived from plant oils and natural fibers are available on the market and are a promising substitute for fossil-based products. The purpose of this work is to investigate novel lightweight thermoset fiber-reinforced...
Given the rising consumption of plastic products, it is becoming imperative to prioritize the recycling of plastic items as a solution to reducing plastic waste and environmental pollution. In this context, this research focuses on assessing the impa...
Nature has always been a source of inspiration for the development of novel materials and devices. In particular, polymer actuators that mimic the movements and functions of natural organisms have been of great interest due to their potential applica...
The present work is focused on polyester resins obtained from the diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A and anthracene modified 5-maleimidoisophthalic acid. Because the maleimide-anthracene Diels–Alder (DA) adduct is stable at high temperatures, it i...
This study presents an experimental framework with seventeen beams to investigate the impact of loading type, configuration, and through-bolt anchorage on LC-GFRP (Low-Cost Glass-Fiber-Reinforced Polymer) confinement performance. Beams underwent thre...
Palm or coconut oil is capable of dissolving in a mixture of bisphenol A-based epoxy resin and a high-temperature hardener (4,4′-diaminodiphenyl sulfone) when heated and then forms a dispersed phase as a result of cross-linking and molecular we...
Recently, many tough synthetic hydrogels have been created as promising candidates in fields such as smart electronic devices. In this paper, we propose a simple strategy to construct tough and robust hydrogels. Two-dimensional Ti3C2Tx MXene nanoshee...
