Biomedical applications of biodegradable polymers Tập 49 Số 12 - Trang 832-864 - 2011
Bret D. Ulery, Lakshmi S. Nair, Cato T. Laurencin
AbstractUtilization of polymers as biomaterials has greatly impacted the
advancement of modern medicine. Specifically, polymeric biomaterials that are
biodegradable provide the significant advantage of being able to be broken down
and removed after they have served their function. Applications are wide ranging
with degradable polymers being used clinically as surgical sutures and implants.

Roll‐to‐Roll fabrication of large area functional organic materials Tập 51 Số 1 - Trang 16-34 - 2013
Roar R. Søndergaard, Markus Hösel, Frederik C. Krebs
AbstractWith the prospect of extremely fast manufacture of very low cost
devices, organic electronics prepared by thin film processing techniques that
are compatible with roll‐to‐roll (R2R) methods are presently receiving an
increasing interest. Several technologies using organic thin films are at the
point, where transfer from the laboratory to a more production‐oriented
environment is within rea... hiện toàn bộ
Electronic structure and electrical properties of interfaces between metals and π‐conjugated molecular films Tập 41 Số 21 - Trang 2529-2548 - 2003
Antoine Kahn, Norbert Koch, Weiying Gao
AbstractThe field of organic thin films and devices is progressing at an
extremely rapid pace. Organic–metal and organic–organic interfaces play crucial
roles in charge injection into, and transport through, these devices. Their
electronic structure, chemical properties, and electrical behavior must be fully
characterized and understood if the engineering and control of organic devices
are to reac... hiện toàn bộ
Self‐nucleation and recrystallization of isotactic polypropylene (α phase) investigated by differential scanning calorimetry Tập 31 Số 10 - Trang 1383-1393 - 1993
B. Fillon, J. C. Wittmann, Bernard Lotz, A. Thierry
AbstractThe crystallization behavior after partial or complete melting of the α
phase of iPP is examined by combined differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and
optical microscopy: calorimetric results are directly correlated with
corresponding morphologies of microtome sections of DSC samples. On partial
melting at various temperatures (hereafter referred to as Ts) located in a
narrow range (4°C)... hiện toàn bộ
Temperature dependence of swelling of crosslinked poly(N,N′‐alkyl substituted acrylamides) in water Tập 28 Số 6 - Trang 923-936 - 1990
You Han Bae, Teruo Okano, Sung Wan Kim
AbstractThe swelling of crosslinked poiy(N,N′‐alkyl substituted acrylamides) in
water was studied in relation to temperature changes. Conventional swelling
theory and separation of the polymer solvent interaction parameter into
enthalpic and entropic contributions were used to characterize the temperature
dependence of swelling in water. The thermosensitivity of swelling can be
attributed to the d... hiện toàn bộ
Chromism of soluble polythienylenes Tập 25 Số 5 - Trang 1071-1078 - 1987
Soonil D.D.V. Rughooputh, Shu Hotta, A. J. Heeger, Fred Wudl
AbstractThermochromism and solvatochromism of solutions of
poly(3‐alkylthienylenes) are reported. The experimental results indicate the
presence of two coexisting phases: polymer in solution and polymer in
microcrystalline aggregates. From the concentration independence of the
thermochromism, it is concluded that the transition is fundamentally driven by a
single chain mechanism, and that the aggr... hiện toàn bộ
Structure‐permeability relationships in silicone polymers Tập 25 Số 6 - Trang 1263-1298 - 1987
S. A. Stern, V. M. Shah, Barry J. Hardy
AbstractPermeability coefficients P for He, O2, N2, CO2 CH4, C2H4, C2H6, and
C3H8 in 12 different silicone polymer membranes were determined at 35.0°C and
pressures up to 9 atm. Values of P for CO2, CH4, and C3H8 were also determined
at 10.0 and 55.0°C. In addition, mean diffusion coefficients D and solubility
coefficients S were obtained for CO2, CH4, and C3H8 in 6 silicone polymers at
10.0, 35.0... hiện toàn bộ
Anion exchange membranes: Current status and moving forward Tập 51 Số 24 - Trang 1727-1735 - 2013
Michael A. Hickner, Andrew M. Herring, E. Bryan Coughlin
ABSTRACTThis short review is meant to provide the reader with highlights in
anion exchange membrane research, describe current needs in the field, and point
out promising directions for future work. Anion exchange membranes (AEMs)
provide one possible route to low platinum or platinum‐free fuel cells with the
potential for facile oxidation of complex fuels beyond hydrogen and methanol.

Structure and morphology control in thin films of regioregular poly(3‐hexylthiophene) Tập 49 Số 17 - Trang 1218-1233 - 2011
Martin Brinkmann
AbstractThis review focuses on the structural control in thin films of
regioregular poly(3‐hexylthiophene) (P3HT), a workhorse among conjugated
semiconducting polymers. It highlights the correlation existing between
processing conditions and the resulting structures formed in thin films and in
solution. Particular emphasis is put on the control of nucleation, crystallinity
and orientation. P3HT ca... hiện toàn bộ
