Abstract Nanocomposite thin films of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) were produced incorporating small amounts (0.2 to 1 wt%) graphene oxide (GO) and nanoplatelets (GNP). The prepared by solvent‐casting. Mechanical properties evaluated for plasticized (by residual solvent) unplasticized films. Plasticized nanocomposite presented yield strength Young's modulus about 100% higher than those pristine PLA. For improvements in tensile 15 85%, respectively. both film types, a maximum mechanical performance...
Nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is the most common worldwide, among which 80% basal cell carcinoma (BCC). Current therapies' low efficacy, side effects, and high recurrence highlight need for alternative treatments. In this work, a partially reduced nanographene oxide (p-rGOn) developed in our laboratory was used. It has been achieved through controlled reduction of via UV–C irradiation that yields small nanometric particles (below 200 nm) preserve original water stability while acquiring...
This article aims to review the biomechanical evolution of intramedullary nailing and describe breakthrough concepts which allowed for nail improvement its current success. The understanding this field establishes an adequate background forthcoming research allows infer on path future developments nailing. It was not until 1940s, with revolutionary Küntscher design, that method recognized as a widespread medical procedure. Such achievement established based foundations created from...
Bone is an outstanding, well-designed composite. It constituted by a multi-level structure wherein its properties and behavior are dependent on composition structural organization at different length scales. The combination of unique mechanical with adaptive self-healing abilities makes bone innovative model for the future design synthetic biomimetic composites improved performance in repair regeneration. However, relation between very complex. In this review article, we intend to describe...
The oxygen purity produced by pressure swing adsorption (PSA) processes is limited to 95%, with the rest being essentially argon. This grade suitable for many industrial applications. However, medical applications, cylinder filling, oxyfuel cutting in metal fabrications, and fuel cells technology recirculation loop, among others, require a higher (99% or above). In this paper, study of high-purity production PSA unit using silver exchanged zeolite from Air Products Chemicals, Inc.,...
Abstract Melamine can be incorporated in the synthesis of urea‐formaldehyde (UF) resins to improve performance particleboards (PB), mostly terms hydrolysis resistance and formaldehyde emission. In this work, melamine‐fortified UF were synthesized using a strong acid process. The best step for melamine addition effect reaction pH on resin characteristics evaluated. Results showed that incorporation is more effective when added initial acidic stage. condensation has significant A below 3.0...
