BisGMA/Thermoplastic Polymer Blends: A Study of Mechanical and Corrosive Properties
Abstract: AbstractThe objective of this work is to synthesize various blends of Bisphenol-A-glycidyldimethacrylate (BisGMA) resin with different proportions of thermoplastic polymers like poly-N-vinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and poly-ethyleneoxazoline (PEOZ) and to study their mechanical and corrosive properties. The experimental results showed that BisGMA/PVP and BisGMA/PEOZ blends displayed an improvement in the mechanical properties over unmodified BisGMA resin and the 50:50 blend system is the optimum blend composition in both BisGMA/PVP and BisGMA/PEOZ blends. …

A Review on Solar Multilevel Inverter for the Production of Free Energy Due to the Structure with Long-life Feature
Abstract: Multilevel inverters play a major role in medium voltage, high power and renewable applications. It is also used in certain applications where high switching frequency, and high output voltage gain are required. The switching transient period of a MOSFET should be minimal because a high dv/dt rate could result in permanent damage to the MOSFET. The harmonics present could cause many problems and so it has to be minimized. The …
