Gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) is a photo-cross-linkable biopolymer. A combination of GelMA with biodegradable polyesters such as PCL (poly‐ε‐caprolactone) and their triblock derivatives improve the mechanical properties of GelMA. PCL-PEG-PCL (PCEC) was synthesized using ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone in the presence of polyethylene gl...

Thermal interface materials (TIMs) are prerequisite components of micro- and nano-electronics, as well as advanced semiconductor applications. A bisphenol-A epoxy-based thermal adhesive amalgamated graphene oxide (GO), reduced graphene oxide (rGO), and modified hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN/mh-BN) are fabricated. The advantages of adhesive TIMs com...

Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are a diverse class of materials designed for selective molecular recognition. These polymers are synthesized with particular binding sites that are suited to a target molecule or a collection of structurally similar molecules through the use of a process called molecular imprinting. MIPs were synthesized in th...

Introducing multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) and montmorillonite (MMT) simultaneously into a polymer can significantly enhance its properties. Meanwhile, choosing the best technique to homogeneously disperse these nanohybrid particles in polymers, without agglomerates, is still a challenge. In this study, a hybrid MMT/MWCNT, prepared by lyophi...

Hydrogels possess excellent biological properties that make them ideal for biomedical applications. They are compatible with living cells and tissues because they can swell in the presence of water. In this study, we investigated the stability and biocompatibility of hydrogels. We synthesized and characterized N-acryl glycine (NAG) monomer and then...

Electromagnetic cooperative strategy has been proved to be an effective approach that can significantly decrease the matching thickness required for reflection loss. However, improving the electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorbing effectiveness with low matching thickness remains challenging for current single-phase absorbing materials. A layer-by-layer...

The reuse of agricultural waste and the development of bio-based materials are the main strategies for solving the global energy crisis and environmental problems. Agricultural waste reeds containing natural nano-silica (SiO2) were liquefied with PEG-400, Castor oil, and acid to produce reed-based polyols (R–P). The result shows that the liquefied ...
