Engineering Polymer-Based Barrier Films for Infection Control in Surgical Environments
Abstract: It is important to keep a sterile surgical area as a measure of infection prevention after an operation. Traditional protective materials tend to not be long-lasting, are not uniformly protective in their behavior, and have just limited biocompatibility. The use of barrier films made of polymer has emerged as a ground breaking solution to the contemporary operating rooms. These movies prevent the entry of microbes, are impervious to moisture, and …

Effect of Bi2O3 Content and Sintering Temperature on the Frequency-Dependent Magnetic Properties of Nanosized Barium Hexaferrite
Abstract: The magnetic properties of commercially available nanosized barium hexaferrite (BaFe12O19) are studied. The particles were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), and high-frequency magnetic measurements. The frequency-dependent magnetic properties viz. complex permeability and loss tangent were analyzed within the 10 MHz to 1 GHz range. Variations in complex magnetic permeability and loss tangent were discussed under varying sintering parameters such as temperature and sintering aid content. The …

AI-Driven Inverse Design of Functionally Graded Bio-Nanocomposites for Sustainable High-Barrier Packaging
Abstract: Multilayer plastic packaging realizes high barrier performance through laminated heterogeneous structures, but the heterogeneous structure has severe end-of-life challenges caused by the interfacial incompatibility of materials and the poor recyclability. This study proposes the inverse design of functionally graded PLA-nanoclay composite films by reinforcement learning as a monolithic alternative to traditional multilayer systems. Twin-screw extrusion is designed as a continuous control Markov decision process, and proximal policy optimization (PPO) is …
