Effect of Different Configurations of Reinforcement and Post-Cure Temperature Detailed Survey
Abstract: Composites with natural fillers have applied many applications, such as interior housekeeping, building and so on but their findings are seldom examined in the mechanical, tribological and dynamic situation. The addition of fillers in GFRP composites enhances the mechanical, thermal and tribological properties due to filler occupied in voids in thermoset resin. There has also been a lot of work done in quantifying the consistency of the operating parameters through …

Development of Polymersomes as Macromolecular Platforms for Nanomedicine
Abstract: The conventional method of drug delivery is plagued with instability, low targeting and low bioavailability. A solution to these shortcomings is the use of polymersomes, artificial vesicles that are produced through self-assembly of amphiphilic block copolymer, and they are suggested as universal nanoscale carriers. They have stiff, tunable membranes (thickness = 2–50 nm) due to accurate control of polymer chemistry, chain length, and hydrophilic mass fraction (f), which allows predictability …
