Surface Activation of Wax-Based Additives to Enhance Asphalt Rheological Properties via Rotating Plasma Treatment

Buildings, 2023
Wax-based additives have been widely used in asphalt pavement for their preferable environmental benefits. However, poor compatibility between wax-based warm mix additives and asphalt easily leads to precipitation of wax and cracking of asphalt pavement.

Solvent Welding-Based Methods Gently and Effectively Enhance the Conductivity of a Silver Nanowire Network

Nanomaterials, 2023
To enhance the conductivity of a silver nanowire (Ag NW) network, a facile solvent welding method was developed. Soaking a Ag NW network in ethylene glycol (EG) or alcohol for less than 15 min decreased the resistance about 70%.

Sustained Therapeutic Efficacy of Intravenous Plasminogen Concentrate in Pediatric Patients With Type 1 Plasminogen Deficiency: An Analysis of Dosing Parameters and Clinical Outcomes

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Type 1 plasminogen deficiency (PLGD‐1) is an ultra‐rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by variants in the PLG gene and affects approximately 1.6 individuals per million. The condition is characterized by decreased plasminogen levels and impaired function, resulting in fibrin‐rich lesions on mucous membranes throughout the body.

Impact of corona and radio-frequency plasma treatment on the degradation of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV)

eXPRESS Polymer Letters, 2022
Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) is a polyester, produced naturally by microorganisms, with excellent biocompatibility. Corona and radio-frequency (RF) plasma treatment were applied in order to improve the degradation process of PHBV ...
