Optimization of Flame Retardant System For Bamboo Fiber Composites: Effect of Flame Retardant Content

Journal of Natural Fibers
From an economic standpoint, compound flame retardants are the optimal solution for industrial flame-retardant material production. While flame retardant content is a critical parameter for system performance optimization, existing research has primarily

Successful Cessation Programs that Reduce Comorbidity May Explain Surprisingly Low Smoking Rates Among Hospitalized COVID-19 Patients [PDF]

, 2020
A recent, non-peer-reviewed meta-analysis suggests that smoking may reduce the risk of hospitalization with COVID-19 because the prevalence of smoking among hospitalized COVID-19 is less than that of the general population.

siRNA Delivery via Cross‐Linked Gelatin Microparticles Enables Targeted Modulation of Osteogenic‐Vascular Cross‐Talk: An Advanced Human 3D in Vitro Test System for Therapeutic siRNA

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Osteogenic‐angiogenic cross‐talk is a vital prerequisite for vascularized bone regeneration. In this study, we investigated the effects of siRNA‐mediated silencing of two inhibitory proteins, Chordin and WWP‐1, via CaP‐NP‐loaded gelatin microparticles in osteogenically differentiated microtissues.

Phosphorus-containing tung oil-based siloxane toughened phenolic foam with good mechanical properties, fire performance and low thermal conductivity

Materials & Design, 2020
Phenolic foam (PF) is widely used as exterior-wall insulation material but has poor mechanical properties and high friability. To improve the robustness of PF without sacrificing its inherent advantages, a novel reactive tung oil-based toughener that ...

Reactive Rules for Emergency Management [PDF]

, 2010
The goal of the following survey on Event-Condition-Action (ECA) Rules is to come to a common understanding and intuition on this topic within EMILI. Thus it does not give an academic overview on Event-Condition-Action Rules which would be valuable for ...

Oxygen and ROS Delivery for Infected Wound Healing and Future Prospects

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Bacterial infection is a major driver of delayed wound healing and postsurgical readmissions; with rising antibiotic resistance, solid peroxide–releasing biomaterials offer sustained delivery of ROS/O2 for antimicrobial control and microenvironmental modulation.

Study of the Aerosol Indirect Effect by Large-Eddy Simulation of Marine Stratocumulus [PDF]

, 2005
A total of 98 three-dimensional large-eddy simulations (LESs) of marine stratocumulus clouds covering both nighttime and daytime conditions were performed to explore the response of cloud optical depth (τ) to various aerosol number concentrations (Na ...
