(2021-12-08)Thermoresponsive shape memory polymer (SMP) scaffolds afford conformal “self-fitting” into irregularly shaped craniomaxillofacial (CMF) bone defects. Grunlan and co-workers previously reported SMP scaffolds based on ...
-
(2020-12-07)Calixarenes are a class of “cup-shaped” macrocyclic molecules which are notable for their modularity which permits the synthesis of many derivatives and their ability to bind small molecules which allows for their use in ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1982)The formation of vesicles and polymeric vesicles from unsaturated surfactants was discussed in regards to conditions for formation (sample size and sonication time), polymerization, substrate entrapment, hydroxide ion ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1990)An investigation was made to characterize the structure of the interphase of polypyrrole in terms of semiconductor theory and the molecular structure of the polymer. This investigation was carried out by performing experiments ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1982)Both fresh and sheared dilute polymer solutions of Separan AP-30 (100, 250, 500 ppm by weight) were used to establish a correlation between rheological properties and turbulent drag reduction in tube flow. The viscosities ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)In polymer matrix composites (PMCs) manufacturing processes can induce de- fects, e.g., voids, fiber misalignment, irregular fiber distribution in the cross-section and broken fibers. The effects of such defects can be ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1976)Viscous and elastic rheological properties of three very dilute polymer solutions (100 to 500 parts per million) of a polyacrylamide in distilled water have been determined. By using the Weissenberg Rheogoniometer, both ...

-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1976)The uses of trapping agents to trap nylon-6 radical and polyethyl-eneterephthalate (polyester) radicals produced by stress in highly oriented fibers was studied under various conditions; in the presence of solvent, in a ...
-
(2021-07-15)Vaccines and chemotherapeutic agents have been developed to treat infectious diseases and cancer, respectively. However, efficacy of the therapeutic agents used to treat these diseases can be significantly improved through ...
-
(2016-08-22)Polymeric materials have wide applications in the home and industry, providing inexpensive, lightweight, and high performance materials. However, due to the fuel-rich chemical composition of polymers, many flame-retardant ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)The moisture absorption behavior of Zylon fibers was characterized in various high temperature and high humidity conditions in a controlled environment. The results of these thermal cycling tests show that PBO fibers not ...
-
Functionalization of polyolefins : entrapment of functionalized ethylene oligomers in polyethylene (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1985)Functionalization of polyethylene by entrapment of functionalized ethylene oligomers in precipitates of polyethylene is described. The details of this entrapment process, which is an alternative to harsh, unselective ...
-
(2020-07-08)Ion conducting polymers are key components in fuel cells, e.g., as solid-state electrolyte membrane separators and ionomers in electrodes. In this study, a series of novel poly(ionic liquid) (PIL) homopolymers and block ...
