Application


  • Polymer Physics behind the Gel-Spinning of UHMWPE Fibers: Though indirectly related, the study′s focus on material science can be paralleled with research on paraffin oil′s role in polymer processing and synthesis, especially in contexts where its lubricating properties are critical to the manufacturing processes (Wang et al., 2024).

Accurate estimation of mechanical properties of the different atherosclerotic plaque constituents is important in assessing plaque rupture risk. The aim of this study was to develop an experimental set-up to assess material properties of vascular tissue, while applying physiological loading

The electrochemical oxidation of a hemorheologic drug, pentoxifylline was investigated at a multi-walled carbon nanotubes-paraffin oil paste electrode using cyclic and differential pulse voltammetry. The oxidation process was irreversible over the pH range studied and exhibited an adsorption-controlled behavior. All

Multiple water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) emulsions are of major interest as potential skin delivery systems for water-soluble drugs like oligonucleotides due to their distinct encapsulation properties. However, multiple emulsions are highly sensitive in terms of variations of the individual components. The presence
