Spinal Fusion with Methylmethacrylate Cage [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
A brief history of anterior cervical decompression and fusion (ACDF) surgery is useful. The first reports on ventral approaches to cervical disc pathology appeared in the 1950s. Two most common methods for ACDF were described by Robinson and Smith in 1955 (1) and Cloward in 1958 (2).

Effects of a high‐fat diet on gut microbiota and possible implications for bone health in male Wistar rats

open access: yesLipids, EarlyView.
Abstract Diet plays an important role in the composition of gut microbiota. Emerging research suggests that bone homeostasis can also be influenced by the gut microbiota. The aim of this study was to assess possible alterations in gut microbiota in an experimental obesity model induced by a high‐fat diet (HFD) and the possible effects on parameters of ...

Impact of Doping on Charge Transport Properties in Thienothiophene‐Based Organic Porous Polymers

open access: yesMacromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
Thienothiophene‐based organic porous conjugated polymers, possessing triphenylamine (TPA), tetraphenylethylene (TPE), and carbazole (Cbz) as linkers, display a higher charge transport property upon iodine doping. Abstract Organic covalent frameworks (COFs) have played significant roles in achieving high performance as electronic conductive and semi ...

FTIR spectroscopy of conformational probes introduced into fullerene-containing branched poly (methyl methacrylate) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In this paper we consider the effect of fullerene on the local molecular dynamics of the branched poly (methylmethacrylates). The temperatures of the secondary relaxation transitions were determined by FTIR spectra.

Antifouling Coatings Inspired by Biological Templates

open access: yesMacromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
The polymeric coatings developed using biological templates combine antifouling properties of polymers with mechanical properties of micro‐ and nano‐particles yielding contact active, foulant releasable, and stimuli responsive materials with superior antifouling performance and demonstrate several applications in the marine environment, as delivery ...

Degradation strategies for structural characterization of insoluble synthetic polymers by mass spectrometry

open access: yesMass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
Abstract With the advent of soft ionization techniques such as electrospray (ESI) and matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) to produce intact gas‐phase ions from nonvolatile macromolecules, mass spectrometry has become an essential technique in the field of polymeric materials.

Mechanical performance of bio‐based fiber reinforced polymer composites: A review

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Applications of bio‐based fiber reinforced polymer composites in various sectors. Abstract Natural fiber‐reinforced polymeric composites (NFRCs) offer a sustainable solution at the intersection of environmental consciousness and materials engineering. These composites address plastic pollution and industrial material demands by utilizing natural fibers

Quantitative Measurement from Vascular Casts [PDF]

open access: yes, 1989
A review of quantitative measurements show casting materials shrink from 0.2 - 20% and have viscosities ranging from 1.4 - 100,000 centipoise. Blood vessels have highly variable mechanical properties. Some microvessels are very stiff having little change
