The cover by Tal Shpigel and colleagues exhibits the SEM images of highly spherical polycaprolactoneibuprofen (PCL‐IBU) microspheres printed directly from melt, using SPHRINT technology. By using this novel technique, a complex interrelationship between IBU and PCL crystallization, when using different drug‐polymer ratio, was generated. This, in turn,...

Copolyesters developed from bio‐based 2,5‐furandicarboxylic acid: Synthesis, sequence distribution, mechanical, and barrier properties of poly(propylene‐co‐1,4‐cyclohexanedimethylene 2,5‐furandicarboxylate)s

ABSTRACT A series of poly(propylene‐co‐1,4‐cyclohexanedimethylene 2,5‐furandicarboxylate)s (PPCFs) with different compositions were synthesized from bio‐based aromatic monomer 2,5‐furandicarboxylic acid and 1,3‐propanediol (PDO), along with 1,4‐cyclohexanedimethylene (CHDM). The chemical structure, composition, and sequence distribution of...

Effect of carbon nanotubes decorated with silver nanoparticles as hybrid filler on properties of natural rubber nanocomposites

ABSTRACT Decoration of carbon nanotube (CNT) surfaces with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was performed using N,N‐dimethylformamide reducing agent. The CNT‐decorated with AgNP (CNT‐AgNP) was then used to prepare natural rubber (NR) nanocomposites via latex mixing method. Cure characteristics, mechano‐thermal relaxation, electrical conductivity,...

Investigation of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) foaming process using blowing agent by rheological and morphological methods

The effects of a chemical blowing agent or an encapsulated physical blowing agent on morphological development in ethylene octene copolymer matrix using dicumyl peroxide as a curing agent were investigated by rheological, mechanical, and morphological methods. ABSTRACT The effects of a chemical blowing agent (CBA) or an encapsulated physical...
