the muscle-like technology would be of enormous advantages for biomedical applications such as medical implants and human assist devices. ionic polymer metal composites (ipmcs) are one kind of biomimetic actuators. an ionic polymer metal composite composed from an ionomer with high ion exchange capacity that packed between two thin metal layers. in the present study we focused on the preparatio...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK), a high-performance semi-crystalline thermoplastic polymer, has been employed to replace the metallic implant components in orthopedics. There were various studies performed in accordance to medical grade PEEK, but the relationship between titanium dioxide (TiO2)-coated PEEK, TiO2-blended PEEK, and untreated PEEK still remains complicated, eve...

densities and viscosities of binary mixtures of methyl tert-butyl ether (mtbe) with 1-alkanols include 1-butanol, or +1-pentanol, or +1-hexanol, or +1-heptanol were measured as a function of composition from 293.15 to 308.15 k at atmospheric pressure. the temperatures studied were 293.15, 298.15, 303.15 and 308.15 k. the experimental results have been used to calculate the viscosity deviation d...

background: tween as a substitute for diethyl ether in the formalin-ether sedimentation technique was evaluated for para­site detection. methods: fresh fecal material free of parasites with 10% formalin to prepare standardized specimen was thoroughly pooled. this specimen was divided into 5 equal portions; one was without infection, and each of the others was individually seeded with entamoeba ...
