Recent advances in macromolecular chemistry have revolutionized the way we perceive the
synthesis of polymers. Polymerization, to be modern, must be “controlled”, which usually …

In this work the thermoanalytical methods used for the characterization of nanomaterials and
nanocomposites are presented. They include thermogravimetry coupled with infrared …

OBJECTIVE: Conventional dental composites with randomly dispersed inorganic particles
within a polymer matrix fail to recapitulate the aligned and anisotropic structure of the dentin …

To clarify the thermal hazards of acrylic acid runaway polymerization, the amount of energy
release and the products in each event of the polymerization sequence were investigated …

Today's strict environmental laws pose significant challenges for coating's formulators to
look for eco-friendly products. Powder coatings, particularly polyester/epoxy blends have …

The objective of the present work is first to estimate the degradation level of an old RO
membrane taken from Mauritania (North West Africa) in terms of water permeability, salts …

Epoxy carbon-fibre prepreg, Hexcel Type 6376 HTS, was investigated using Dynamic
