A plastisol coupler has been designed that improves acoustical coupling for linear array ultrasound transducers. This device improves both ease in scanning and image quality in real-time scanning of the infant brain.

Using a multifactorial experiment of the plan N = 2(4), influence components air pollution in livestock buildings on moisture absorption film D-11A plastisol mastic was studied by gravimetric method. The corresponding dependence equations are obtained, which show more aggressive effect hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide protective film.

Biological phantoms are commonly used on biomedical ultrasound research, but they have some limitation. We have been studying the acoustic and thermal properties of polyvinyl chloride-plastisol (PVCP) that have longer time stability. We estimated thermal conductivity in steady-state methods and specific heat with Method of Mixture. PVCP blocks were made with different graphite and PVC powders c...

The aim of this study was to improve the adhesion performance of plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) coatings on steel substrates by using nanoparticles. For this purpose, the PVC plastisol with different concentration of nano-silica was prepared and applied to bond steel joints. The adhesive strength of the joints was determined by single-lap shear test. Moreover, mechanical properties and mi...
