Structure–Property Relationships in Poly (N isopropylacrylamide) Hydrogels: Toward Thermoresponsive Polymer Composites
Abstract: Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) hydrogels can shift from solid to gel and back again at body temperature. Due to their lack structural integrity, thermal stability, and mechanical strength, they are difficult to use. This study mixed PNIPAAm with biocompatible fillers like chitosan and silicon nanoparticles to create hydrogels with superior structure-property correlations. Free radical polymerization with ammonium persulfate/TEMED initiator and N,N′-methylenebisacrylamide crosslinker produced the composites. Scanning electron microscopy showed a denser, interconnected …

A New Process to Enhance the Maintainability of Component-Based Software
Abstract: Maintenance of component based software (CBS) is particularly significant nowadays, thus calling for strategies for its improvement. Previous work on maintenance does not clearly map the process of component selection from repository and the type of maintenance approach followed. In addition, most available literature treats component storage and component retrieval rather independent of each other. Our aim is to integrate the three concepts: maintenance approach, component storage and component retrieval, …
