Corrosion and tribology are surface phenomena. Modifying surfaces of materials without
resorting to altering their bulk properties is an effective route to alleviate corrosion, friction …

Herein, we report the physicochemical, thermal, mechanical and biological characteristics,
including bioactivity, biodegradation and cytocompatibility of additive manufacturing …

Aerosol particles, such as the widespread COVID-19 recently, have posed a great threat to
humans. Combat experience has proven that masks can protect against viruses; however …

Bone tissue engineering is considered one of the pivotal treatments for bone defects in
patients. However, the conventional strategies for repairing irregular and complex bone …

The addition of polymeric materials is often used to delay nucleation or crystal growth and
maintain the high supersaturation of amorphous drugs. Therefore, this study aimed to …

In recent years, Dynamic mechanical analyser (DMA) has served as a principal tool for
measurement of dynamic mechanical properties and glass transition temperature (T g) of a …

In this paper, we have synthesized a novel chitosan-p-tert-butylcalix [4] arene polymer
(CCP) as a highly efficient adsorbent for mercury ion (Hg2+) removal from water. In fact, a …

A robotic finger actuated by novel artificial muscles known as twisted and coiled polymer
(TCP) muscles has been proposed as an inexpensive, yet high-performance component of a …

Thermal energy, ie, the electromagnetic energy in the infrared range that originates from the
direct solar radiation, outgoing terrestrial radiation, waste heat from combustion of fuels, heat …
