ABSTRACT The rapid increase in waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) poses a significant environmental challenge. To address this issue, initiatives promoting circular economy principles have emerged, such as utilizing recycled acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABSr) high‐impact polystyrene (HIPSr) from WEEE. This study evaluated the properties of virgin ABS (ABSv)/ABSr ABSv/HIPSr blends, with ABSr HIPSr obtained TV housing blend samples were prepared using filament extrusion,...
Episiotomy is an obstetric technique that consists of making incision in the perineum during vaginal childbirth, to facilitate baby pass through. After delivery, perineal region sutured with absorbable threads heal cut. However, are frequent reports pain, infections, and dyspareunia after execution this technique. In context, use biomaterials becomes relevant as they promote faster safer tissue repair, it attractive alternative for healing process episiotomy. Based on physical-chemical...
Chitosan is a natural, biodegradable, non-toxic and biocompatible polymer, with characteristics such as healing, hemostatic, antimicrobial agent, among others. Therefore, the aim of this study to develop tubular chitosan device for use prosthetic coating application in vascular surgery. The wires were obtained by spinning method 2M sodium hydroxide coagulant solution (NaOH) used form screens reinforcement structure obtain tubes. In order characterize tubes, optical microscopy, contact angle,...
Cranioencephalic traumatism (TBI) is a common situation in trauma hospitals and has become responsible for high rates of mortality worldwide. When the victim TBI affected by injuries to skullcap with need grafting, problems regarding availability suitable affordable materials eventually happen. In this study, 3D structure Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) that mimics cranial bone morphology use cranioplasty was developed. Samples different formulations, form round bars, were obtained through...
