Three distinct polymers were used as model in this study: poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA), polyacrylamide (PAM), and (ethylene glycol) (PEG). These employed to make nanocomposites films utilizing solution dry casting techniques with varied loading ratios of Silver nanopowders (AgNPs) (0.1, 0.2, 0.4 wt. percent). The varying thicknesses (950 nm). diffusion NPs among the gaps polymer mix particles was...

In this work, gelatin (G)-polyacrylamide (PAAm)-based interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) hydrogels involving maleic acid (MA) was prepared using by radical polymerization. Full-IPN and semi-IPN were synthesized glutaraldehyde ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as a crosslinker. The water absorbency of investigated, the values increased with MA G. chemical structures full-IPN tested Four...

A novel high-strength nano-adhesive is demonstrated for fabricating nano- and microfluidic devices. While the traditional plasma sealing methods are specific for sealing glass to poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS), the new method is compatible with a wide variety of polymeric and inorganic materials, including flexible substrates. Additionally, the traditional method requires that sealing occur with...

In this study, poly(N-Isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM), poly(acrylamide) (PAAM), poly(acrylic acid) (PAAc), and poly(methacrylic (PMAc) polymers are synthesized by radical polymerization method. The chemical composition surface morphology of the PMAc polymer examined micro-Raman spectroscopy scanning electron microscopy (SEM). electrochemical measurements cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronoamperometry...
