The composite materials prepared by transparent polymer and nanosized particles possess promising future in optical design and applications since their controllable optical properties. In this study, transparent/translucent ...

In this study, cellulose acetate (CA) based antimicrobial packaging materials containing lysozyme as an antimicrobial additive were developed. In order to achieve appropriate controlled release of antimicrobial agent, the ...

The aim of the study is to synthesize well-defined, spermine-like, amine containing polymers via reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization as a potential endosomal escaping agent for intracellular ...

Phase inversion process involving a ternary system (nonsolvent/solvent/ polymer) isfrequently used to prepare porous and asymmetric polymeric membranes. The thermodynamic and kinetic data for the ternary system are required ...

Sericin is a protein derived from silkworm, Bombyx mori, and has several useful properties as a natural biomaterial such as antioxidant character, moisturizing ability, hydrogel forming property and most importantly ...

Flange and web local buckling in beam plastic hinge regions of welded Steel Moment Frames (SMF) can prevent the beam-column connections to achieve adequate plastic rotations under earthquake induced forces. Reducing the ...

In the present study, macromolecular design of homo and copolymers of lactide (LA) and ε-caprolactone (CL) in different structures by the use of biocompatible catalysts and co-initiators were performed to satisfy a need ...

Human beings are often infected by microorganisms such as bacterium, mold, yeast, virus, etc. in the living environment. It became a requirement and a necessity to create sterile fields in areas. Composite stones are one ...

In this study quasi-static tension and quasi-static (1x10-3 and 1x10-1 s-1) and high strain rate (300-600 s-1) compression and quasi-static tensile behavior of diatom frustules-filled, Diatomaceous earth (CD) and Kieslguhr ...

Body armors consist of fabrics made of high performance fibers which are characterized by low density, high strength, high tenacity and high energy absorption. Soft body armors are produced with lamination of 20-50 layers ...
