This study investigated the characteristics of wood fiber/polycaprolactone composite after an artificial accelerated thermo-oxidative aging treatment. The effect time, temperature and humidity during treatment on their mechanical, chemical morphology properties were evaluated. was prepared from melted fibers modified polycaprolactone by a molding process. A controllable test chamber used for co...

• Microalgae ultrasound pre-treatment induces strengthening of biocomposites. 20% wt. polycaprolactone reinforced residual Desmodesmus materials. Proteins thermal degradation reduced deformability in Tetradesmus Ultrasound and protein extraction sp. obliquus biomass induced microalgae/polycaprolactone (PCL) biocomposites with higher viscoelastic mechanical properties as injection mould temperat...

Objective(s): Lead is a very strong poison in the environment. Lead toxicity can be affected on the human body and caused disease. Therefore, the design of lead sorbent can be had the great help to the medical field. In this work, the nanohydroxyapatite (n-HA) was used for removal of lead from aqueous solution. Then, polycaprolactone (PCL) nanocomposite was modified with n-HA by simple preparat...

In this paper, we report the development of micromachining techniques for a biodegradable polymer for the first time. By virtue of their ability to naturally degrade in tissues, biodegradable polymers hold immense promise as new materials for implantable biomedical microdevices. This work focuses on the establishment of microfabrication processes for biodegradable microstructures and microdevic...
