Styrenic Nanocomposites Prepared using a Novel Biphenyl-Containing Clay [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Montmorillonite was organically modified using an ammonium salt containing 4-acetylbiphenyl. This clay (BPNC16 clay) was used to prepare polystyrene (PS), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and high impact polystyrene (HIPS) nanocomposites ...

Arbitrary 3D Organic Mixed Ionic‐Electronic Conductor Architectures via Self‐Fusion of PEDOT:PSS Microfibers

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A general fabricating strategy for arbitrary 3D organic mixed ionic‐electronic conductor architectures is reported using PEDOT:PSS microfiber building blocks. A water‐assisted self‐fusion process is successfully developed in which adhesion can be modulated as reversible (PSS‐rich) or irreversible (PEDOT‐rich) self‐fusion depending on the post‐treatment

Diathermy smoke: hazardous to health? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The heat used in electrocautery causes cells to boil and explode, or simply dry up, producing a gaseous by-product known as diathermy smoke. This smoke may have mutagenic and carcinogenic potential, similar to that of cigarette smoke (Spearman et al ...

Dead Matter, Living Machines: Repurposing Crustaceans' Abdomen Exoskeleton for Bio‐Hybrid Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Crustacean exoskeletons, repurposed from food waste, are engineered into sustainable bending actuators combining biotic structure with synthetic control. The augmented exoskeletons achieve rapid and robust motion with lightweight body and can be used as part of robotic manipulators, grippers and swimmers.

Programmable Multifunctional Bistable Structures for Energy Transfer and Dissipation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Utilizing the energy conversion characteristics of asymmetric bistable beams, this study develops a programmable multifunctional system composed of multiple bistable beams for energy transfer and dissipation. The high energy density enables the system to demonstrate potential in transient scenarios such as target delivery and shock absorption ...

Respiratory exposure with acrylonitrile butadiene styrene particle in appliance company workers

open access: yesThe Journal of Qazvin University of Medical Sciences, 2018
Background: Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene granules heat up from169 to 320C in the production of household appliance, which results in the decomposition of white smoke in the work place.

Reprocessing acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene plastics: Structure–property relationships

open access: yesPolymer Engineering & Science, 2007
AbstractAcrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene (ABS) plastics from computer equipment housings have been reprocessed, some under various conditions of temperatures and shearing rates and others for multiple numbers of cycles. Structural changes in these reprocessed materials were investigated by infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), gel permeation chromatography, and
