Ibuprofen-loaded Poly-(methyl vinyl ether-co-maleic anhydride) (PVM/MA) nanoparticles were successfully prepared by Solution-enhanced Dispersion by Supercritical CO₂ (SEDS). Ibuprofen and PVM/MA were first homogeneously dissolved in acetone, and then...

Lignin is a natural polymer characterized by its ability to absorb ultraviolet rays and antibacterial properties. Thanks to nano size, nanolignin deposited on the fabric surface does not cause colour change, even though the lignin is originally dark....

In this work, Silk Fibroin (SF) nanofibers were electrospun onto plasma-treated 100% cotton gauze bandages to form a novel silk-gauze composite wound dressing. Atmospheric pressure plasma pre- and post- treatments were used to increase the adhesion b...

This study presents research into drawing conditions’ influences on the mechanical properties of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) filament sewing thread. The thread was drawn by varying the treatment temperature and contact time on the first heated c...

The purpose of this study is the pursuance of useful evaluation index which can estimate the different impression obtained by inhalation of several olfactory stimuli. For this purpose, the principal factors which could determine the impression of olf...

The extracellular cellulase enzyme produced by Trichoderma reesei was used to prepare Nanocrystalline Cellulose (NCC) by controlled hydrolysis of bamboo fibers. The morphology of the prepared bamboo cellulose nanocrystals was characterized by field e...

In order to provide the basic data for the development of medical guide-wire and a simulator for the PTCA (Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty), we have developed the blood vessel model made of PVA hydrogel and investigated the mechanical...

The purpose of this study is to investigate the damage mechanisms in UHMWPE/LDPE laminated by Acoustic Emission (AE) technique. Model specimens are fabricated to obtain expected damage mechanisms during tensile testing. Then, relationship among AE de...

Girths of human body are significant parameters in pattern design, affecting the fitting and aesthetics of clothing. In this paper, 110 female undergraduates in Soochow University were measured by using photogrammetric measurement and 3D non-contact...

To address the limitations of the traditional idealized loop model, this study conducted experimental analysis and mathematical model for the morphological structure of the weft-knitted loop, and research on the method for describing the weft loop's...
