We present a mathematical model that may predict average molecular weights and weight fraction of solubles for polymer chains subjected to irradiation, where both scission and crosslinking are present. Two types of crosslinks ...

Using molecular dynamics, we study the formation of chemical gels from an initial solution of reactive polymers that undergo a crosslinking reaction. We study the effect of the polymer persistence length and different ...

Natural and synthetic cross-linked polymers allow the improvement of cytocompatibility and mechanical properties of the individual polymers. In osteochondral lesions of big size it will be required the use of scaffolds to ...

Reactive and functional polymers are manufactured essentially from the chemical or physical modification of their precursors or by the addition of active fillers. These polymers have proven important for the development ...

High amylose was cross-linked with sodium trimetaphosphate (STMP) using 2% and 4% solutions of NaOH at room temperature with reaction contact times of 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 h. The different polymers obtained were analyzed by FT ...

This work evaluates the inscription of surface relief gratings (SRG) in a series of epoxy-azo prepolymers and networks, both based on the same azo chromophore. Variables such as matrix structure (thermoplastic/thermoset), ...

This work analyses the SRG forming ability of a linear and a crosslinked polymer, both based on the same azo chromophore (Disperse Red 19, DR19) and diisocyanate (4,4´-metilen-bis(cyclohexyl isocyanate), DI) with similar ...
