Polymer composites and self-healing

The increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases highlights the need to develop vascular grafts that match the mechanics of native vascular tissue and offer functional adaptability. This study reports the development and systematic optimization of a shape-memory polyurethane acrylate (PUA)-based photocurable resin…

This study focuses on producing thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) films as a wound dressing material. The TPU film was fabricated with different concentrations (5, 10, 15, 17, 20, and 25 %) via the film casting method at room temperature. According to the morphological results detected from the scanning electron micros…

Self-healing biomaterials have attracted significant attention due to their ability to restore structural integrity, extend material lifetime, and reduce maintenance costs without external intervention. In this study, Polyvinyl Alcohol/Graphene Oxide/Eggshell Particle (PVA/GO/ESP) composite hydrogels were synthesized…

The maritime industry is faced with the problem of corrosion due to the constant exposure of the metal structures of ships to salt water and harsh environmental conditions. The high electrical conductivity of salt water accelerates the deterioration of metals through electrochemical reactions, which leads to both econ…

Linear polyethylenimines (L-PEIs) of varying molar masses were synthesized and modified with monoisocyanates to form urea-containing polymers, which were evaluated as thermal latent curing agents (TLCs) for one-component epoxy resins (OCERs). The incorporation of urea bonds enabled ambient-temperature stability and te…

The magnificent designs of nature never cease to amaze us. Explaining how the self-healing material mechanisms work and developing new design proposals could shed light on scientific and engineering innovations in various fields, especially in the biomedical, agricultural, environmental, construction, and defense sect…

Abstract Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NADES) are emerging as sustainable alternatives to conventional solvents owing to their low toxicity and biodegradability, offering multifunctional benefits for biopolymer-based packaging applications. This study reviews the various roles of NADES as solvents, processing media,…

Abstract In this study, poly( ϵ -caprolactone) (PCL)-based nanocomposite films reinforced with a Fe–35%Ni alloy, which possesses a low coefficient of thermal expansion and distinct magnetic properties, were produced. The composites were prepared using the solvent casting method, with the Fe–Ni alloy incorporated into…

ABSTRACT The increasing demand for durable and multifunctional separation materials necessitates polymer‐based coatings that combine mechanical robustness with high selectivity. This study aims to develop antibacterial oil/water separation systems that effectively address challenges posed by microorganisms, which can…
