The recent development of materials for organic field effect transistors (OFETs), including small-molecule and polymer materials, are briefly reviewed, and the problems that remain to be solved prior to practical application and use are discussed. Liquid crystalline materials are good candidates for OFETs because of their advantageous properties over soluble small-molecule materials. Liquid cry...

While hot melt extrusion is now established within the pharmaceutical industry, the prediction of miscibility, processability and structural stability remains a pertinent issue, including the issue of whether molecular interaction is necessary for suitable performance. Here we integrate the use of theoretical and experimental drug-polymer interaction assessment with determination of processabil...

Finding an ideal biomaterial with the proper mechanical properties and biocompatibility has been of intense focus in the field of soft tissue engineering. This paper reports on the synthesis and characterization of a novel crosslinked urethane-doped polyester elastomer (CUPOMC), which was synthesized by reacting a previously developed photocrosslinkable poly (octamethylene maleate citrate) (POM...

The attachment of conjugated polymers (CPs), characterized by their optical and electronic properties excellent processability, to inorganic nanoparticles (NPs), known for specialized ele...

In the last years, functionalized powders are becoming of increasing interest in additive manufacturing (particularly laser powder bed fusion processing, L-PBF), due to their improved flowability and enhanced processability, particularly terms absorbance. Functionalized may also provide higher final mechanical or physical properties manufactured parts, like an increased hardness, a tensile stre...

Vitrimer has recently emerged as a polymer combining great processability, self-healing capability and high-temperature mechanical properties. Most of those salient features vitrimer originate from the existence dynamic covalent bonds in network. To further adjust behaviors vitrimer, regular have been mixed with to create hybrid Percolation theory predicts that, if are homogenously mixed, high ...
