Create three-dimensional network of siloxane polymer in the epoxy resin is an appropriate mechanical properties .Dispersion of nanoclay in these coating was prepared by ultrasonication method. Mechanical properties of nanocomposit coatings such as abrasion, hardness and adhesion was increased by addition of nanoclay montmorillonite. Different percentages of nanoclay in coating showed that even ...

Fundamental reaction processes between vapor-phase chemical precursors and high molecular weight polymers are important for polymer coating, encapsulation and surface modification. Using trimethylaluminium and water in an atomic layer deposition (ALD) exposure sequence, reactions between vapor-phase trimethylaluminium and common polymers with different substituents are quantified using in situ ...

Film coating is an essential unit operation in tablet manufacturing. Most tablet dosage forms in the market are film coated. The main purpose for coating of immediate release film dosage form is to provide colour identification, to enhance the stability, taste masking. It is also noted that film coating can improve the processibility and handling during pharmaceutical manufacturing and is the m...

A series of polysulfone and polyacrylate-based zwitterionic coatings were prepared on epoxy-primed aluminum substrata and characterized for their antifouling (AF) and fouling-release (FR) properties towards marine bacteria, microalgae and barnacles. The zwitterionic polymer coatings provided minimal resistance against bacterial biofilm retention and microalgal cell attachment, but facilitated g...

A strategy of suppressing the fast degradation behaviour of Mg-based biomaterials by the introduction of one of Mg degradation products Mg(OH)2 was proposed according to the following degradation mechanism, Mg + 2H2O ⇋ Mg(OH)2 + H2↑. Specifically, Mg(OH)2 submicron particles were mixed into poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA) to synthesize a composite coating onto hydrofluoric acid-pretreated Mg-Nd-Zn-...

We investigated the implant-bone interface around one design of femoral stem, proximally coated with either a plasma-sprayed porous coating (plain porous) or a hydroxyapatite porous coating (porous HA), or which had been grit-blasted (Interlok). Of 165 patients implanted with a Bimetric hip hemiarthroplasty (Biomet, Bridgend, UK) specimens were retrieved from 58 at post-mortem. We estimated ing...

Magnesium alloys as biodegradable metal implants have received a lot of interest in biomedical applications. However, magnesium alloys have extremely high corrosion rates a in physiological environment, which have limited their application in the orthopedic field. In this study, calcium phosphate compounds (Ca-P) coating was prepared by arginine-glycine-aspartic acid-cysteine (RGDC) peptide-ind...

There are some arguments between the use of hydroxyapatite and porous coating. Some studies have shown that there is no difference between these two coatings in total hip arthroplasty (THA), while several other studies have shown that hydroxyapatite has advantages over the porous one. We have collected the studies in Pubmed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane library from the earliest possible y...

In the study, we were investigated effect of bioactive coating composed of quince seed mucilage (QSM) incorporating green tea extract(GTE) on oil and water content, lipid oxidation, texture, color and sensory evolution of shrimp after deep-fat frying. For this purpose, different concentration of GTE (0-20%) was blended to obtain five coating solutions (QG 0-4). We observed a significant effect ...
