Cyclic Nanoindentation and Nano-scratch Behaviour of CaCO3/PMMA Nanocomposite
Abstract: The calcium carbonate surface modified with γ-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane was carried out to prepare poly (methyl methacrylate) based composite. The grafting of PMMA increased as the weight ratio between MMA and n-CaCO3 increased, while the grafting efficiency of PMMA decreased. Transmission electron micrograph showed that MPTMS modified n-CaCO3 covered with PMMA was formed by emulsion polymerisation. The scratch resistance of n-CaCO3/PMMA nanocomposites are highly influenced by reinforcement’s type. The effects of n-CaCO3 …

Role of Nail Pilar Assisted Dermabrasion in Scald Burns
Abstract: Second-degree deep dermal and full-thickness burn injuries tend to heal slowly and often result in scarring. Deep dermal burns, which extend beyond the superficial layers of the skin, require prompt and specialized medical intervention to promote effective healing. While superficial burns, which involve only the epidermis and superficial dermal layers, can often be managed through wound irrigation, debridement, and standard local wound care, deeper burns present more complex challenges. In …
