Thin freely suspended films of a mixture of an achiral side-chain liquid crystal polymer and its monomer have been studied with depolarized reflected light microscopy. We observe that regions with an odd number of bilayers ...

The preparation and characterization of biodegradable bilayer films from isolated soy protein (SPI) and poly (lactic acid) (PLA) were carried out in this work. The films showed high transparency and strong adhesion between ...

The formulation of bilayer films is a strategy aimed at combining the advantages and properties of different film-forming materials. Bilayer films based on pectin and brea gum were formulated and their functional properties ...

The aims of this work were: to develop composite, bi-layer and laminated biodegradable films based on gelatin and chitosan, to determine film barrier and mechanical properties and to characterize their microstructure. ...

Bilayer films that combine chitosan and alginate, two natural polysaccharides, and magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (MNPs) were obtained. Physical and microscopic observations revealed that chitosan and alginate interact ...

Vortex matter in superconductors has been the focus of research of both theoretical and experimental groups around the world. When developing superconducting devices patterned on thin films one should bear in mind that ...

Currently, the development of environmentally friendly materials with suitable properties for industrial use has become ofgreat importance. In this work, bilayer materials were developed by assembling ...
