The anion exchange ionomer incorporated into the electrodes of an anion exchange membrane fuel cell (AEMFC) enhances anion transport in the catalyst layer of the electrode, and thus improves performance and durability of the AEMFC. In this work, a novel ionomer based on a triblock copolymer with high conductivity and good durability is synthesized successfully. The spectroscopy (such as H-NMR, ...

The impact of a small amount polystyrene-b-poly(ethylene-co-butylene)-b-polystyrene (SEBS) on the thermomechanical and electrical properties blends comprising low-density polyethylene (LDPE) isotactic polypropylene (PP) is investigated. SEBS found to assemble at PP:LDPE interface as well within isolated PP domains. addition 10 wt% significantly increases storage modulus between melting temperat...

PURPOSE Surrogate end point biomarkers (SEBs) that can be measured in ductal carcinoma in situ or early-stage invasive cancer are needed to improve the efficiency and reduce the cost of chemoprevention trials. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We conducted a prospective study to develop SEBs for tamoxifen and N-[4-hydroxyphenyl]retinamide by administering either a placebo or both drugs for 2-4 weeks to wom...

The integration of functional fibers into wearable devices by traditional methods is commonly completed in weaving. A new post-weaving method integrating fiber textiles needed to address the challenge incorporating ready-made garments without tearing down clothing and re-weaving. 3D printing simultaneously fabricate integrate highly stretchable conductive with designed patterns presented. fabri...

Herein, it was investigated the development of a low-cost conductive coating for application in field Electromagnetic Interference shielding (EMI shielding). The produced with reduced graphene oxide (rGO), considered an excellent technological alternative applications, and styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene (SEBS) block copolymer. rGO obtained by reduction (GO) using ascorbic acid as “green” eff...
