In order to improve antiwear properties of the cutting tool for titanium alloy, the temperature-
sensitive poly (N-isopropylacrylamide)(PNIPAM)-graphene oxide (GO) nanocomposites …

Some of the essential properties for cellular scaffolding are the capability to maintain the
three-dimensional (3D) structure, good adhesion, and adequate elastic modulus during cell …

Addition of nonionic surfactant, C12E9, to an aqueous dispersion of charge stabilized silica
nanoparticles renders particle aggregation reversible. In contrast, aggregation of the same …

Polyelectrolyte gels are ionizable, crosslinked polymer networks swollen in a solvent. These
materials are prevalent in biological and synthetic applications ranging from the extracellular …

In this paper we report the fabrication of layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanoparticles/poly
(N-isopropylacrylamide)(pNIPAM) ultrathin films (UTFs) via the layer-by-layer assembly …

Stimulus-responsive nanoparticles stand out in studies for cancer treatment since these
systems can promote a selective release of the drug in tumor tissues and cells, minimizing …

Cononsolvency of poly (N-isopropylacrylamide)(PNIPAM) gels in binary mixed solvents
(water–acetone and water–DMSO) has been comparatively investigated by 1H HR-MAS …

Polymer gels are unique materials, which consist of a polymer network swollen in a solvent.
The modulus and the overall state of the gel depend on thermodynamic parameters, such as …

Passive cooling permits thermal management of near-zero energy consumption and low
CO2 emissions. Despite significant progress of passive radiative coolers, comfortable and …
