Termokromizem je reverzibilen pojav, ki pri segrevanju ali ohlajanju temelji na spremembi barve snovi. Termokromno barvilo je dodano polimerom, ki se lahko pojavljajo kot termoplasti, elastomeri ali v obliki premazov. S svojo barvno spremembo se lahko termokromni materiali uporabljajo kot pokazatelji temperaturnih razlik pri skladiščenju nevarnih s...

BackgroundPorcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is the main causative agent of porcine circovirus diseases (PCVDs) which causes huge yearly economic losses in the swine industry. Capsid protein (Cap) is the major structural protein of PCV2 that can induce a protective immune response. Therefore, developing a novel and safe subunit vaccine against PCV2 i...

High flammability of polymers has become a major issue which has restricted its applications. Recently, highly crystalline materials and metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), which consisted of metal ions and organic linkers, have been intensively employed as novel fire retardants (FRs) for a variety of polymers (MOF/polymer). The MOFs possessed abundan...
The folder “figure 3” contains dynamic light scattering data for CSNP’s made using method B showing the evolution of the hydrodynamic diameter, polydispersity and PDI as a function of time. The data points are an average of three values obtained for the samples. The folder “figure 4” contains tapping-mode AFM images of the CSNPs. (1,3) and (2,4) re...

The computational modeling of instrumented indentation tests used to characterize material properties is challenging. It is mainly due to the computational techniques demanded to couple the complex physical mechanisms involved, such as, for example, the time-dependent inelastic material response to loads during contact. Therefore, this work aims to...

Microplastics have been identified as a widespread, persistent environmental pollutant. The investigation of microplastics in marine ecosystems has been prevalent in the literature; however, much less consideration has been given to this form of pollution in freshwater ecosystems. Relatively few studies have considered the uptake of microplastics i...

Concepts for digital denture manufacturing are market-available but studies comparing the trueness of such dentures, either milled (MIL) or additive manufactured, compared to injection molded (IM) ones are still limited. Regarding the impact of artificial aging and microwave sterilization on this parameter, no data are available. Therefore, the pur...
This work presents an experimental investigation into the effect of cornhusk fibre (CHF) content upon the mechanical properties, water absorption behaviour, and swellability of CHF/polyester (PE) composites used in water environments. The CHF/PE was prepared at different volume fractions using hot compression (~175 °C). To investigate the rate of w...

An organic–inorganic nanocomposite (LN/PMMA) was prepared using nearly stoichiometric lithium niobate (LiNbO3; LN) nanoparticles dispersed homogeneously into a polymer matrix, poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). This composite is having anisotropic LN nanocrystals, oriented randomly in an isotropic host matrix of PMMA. So far, to the best of our know...
Copyright © 2020 American Chemical Society. We study the phase behavior of a triblock organic-inorganic hybrid copolymer, poly(polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane)-b-poly(ethylene oxide)-b-poly(polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane) (POSS-PEO-POSS)/lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) salt mixture, as a function of temperature. The p...
