Nanocomposites represent an innovative class of materials that combine inorganic nanofillers with polymer matrices to achieve enhanced mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties. Recent advances in ...

Synthetic polymers play a crucial role in cell biology, serving as delivery vehicles for DNA and drugs, acting as fluorescent probes for cellular sensing, functioning as bioinks for tissue engineering ...

Aqueous free-radical precipitation polymerization is one of the most useful methods to prepare the uniformly sized hydrogel microspheres (microgels), and an understanding of the polymerization ...

Across the world, a considerable amount of the plastics and synthetic fibers used daily are produced from polymerization processes. Thus, there is a significant demand for process optimization and ...

A new all-dry polymerization technique uses reactive vapors to create thin films with enhanced properties, such as mechanical strength, kinetics and morphology. A new all-dry polymerization technique ...

In 1964, just four years after Theodore Maiman's pioneering laser operation at the Hughes Research Laboratory in California, the James Bond film Goldfinger hinted at laser cutting, albeit for less ...

Restorative dentistry aims to bring damaged dentition back to acceptable functional and aesthetic levels (see Figure 1). Composite materials for dental fillings are replacing amalgam alloys due to ...
