Machine Learning Models in Drilling of Different Types of Glass-Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites.

Polymers
The aim of the research presented in this paper was to simulate the relationship between selected technological drilling parameters (cutting speed, and feed per tooth, ) and cutting forces and the delamination in machining of a new glass-fiber-reinf...

Enhanced Antibacterial Efficiency and Anti-Hygroscopicity of Gum Arabic-ε-Polylysine Electrostatic Complexes: Effects of Thermal Induction.

Polymers
The aim of this investigation was to scrutinize the effects of a thermal treatment on the electrostatic complex formed between gum arabic (GA) and ε-polylysine (ε-PL), with the goal of improving the antibacterial properties and reducing the hygroscop...

Experimental Study on Enhanced Oil Recovery Effect of Profile Control System-Assisted Steam Flooding.

Polymers
Steam flooding is an effective development method for heavy oil reservoirs, and the steam flooding assisted by the profile control system can plug the dominant channels and further improve the recovery factor. High-temperature-resistant foam as a pro...

Oligohexamethylene Guanidine Derivative as a Means to Prevent Biological Fouling of a Polymer-Based Composite Optical Oxygen Sensor.

Polymers
The use of biocidal agents is a common practice for protection against biofouling in biomass-rich environments. In this paper, oligohexamethyleneguanidine (OHMG) polymer, known for its biocidal properties, was further modified with para-aminosalicyli...

Removal of Algae and Algal Toxins from a Drinking Water Source Using a Two-Stage Polymeric Ultrafiltration Membrane Process.

Polymers
The release of algal toxins in algae-containing water sources poses a serious threat to drinking water safety and human health. The conventional water treatment processes of water plants have a limited ability to remove algae and algal toxins, especi...

Mussel-Inspired Calcium Alginate/Polyacrylamide Dual Network Hydrogel: A Physical Barrier to Prevent Postoperative Re-Adhesion.

Polymers
Intrauterine adhesions (IUA) has become one of the main causes of female infertility. How to effectively prevent postoperative re-adhesion has become a clinical challenge. In this study, a mussel-inspired dual-network hydrogel was proposed for the po...

Effect of an Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Jet on the Structure and Physicochemical Properties of Waxy and Normal Maize Starch.

Polymers
In present study, a novel physical modification of waxy maize starch (WMS) and normal maize starch (NMS) was investigated by using an atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) treatment. The effect on the structure and physicochemical properties of both...

Polyelectrolyte-Coated Gold Nanoparticles: The Effect of Salt and Polyelectrolyte Concentration on Colloidal Stability.

Polymers
Gold nanoparticles are widely used in biomedical applications. Their ease of surface modification, biocompatibility and the presence of surface plasmons makes them ideal tools for a variety of investigations. Polyelectrolyte-coated gold nanoparticles...

Radical Scavenging Activities of Novel Cationic Inulin Derivatives.

Polymers
Many saccharides are attractive targets for biomaterial applications, due to their abundance, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. In this article, a synthesis process of 6--substituted cationic inulin derivatives, including 6-pyridyl-6-deoxyinuli...

Role of Electrostatic Interactions on Supramolecular Organization in Calf-Thymus DNA Solutions under Flow.

Polymers
Previous investigations were conducted on two concentrations of DNA solution: 4 mg/mL, for which it has been shown that no supramolecular organization is induced under flow at low shear rates; and 10 mg/mL, in which a liquid crystalline-type texture ...
