Abstract:
A PTFE composite powder, a preparation method thereof, and a composite material containing the same are provided. The PTFE composite powder includes the following components: a PTFE powder, an inorganic powder, and a surface treatment agent. The inorganic powder is coated on a surface of the PTFE powder to form an inorganic powder layer, and the surface treatment agent is coated on the inorganic powder layer. For the composite material obtained by the present invention, the compatibility between the PTFE composite powder and matrix polymer is better than that of the prior art, leading to larger addition amount, and smaller dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the composite material, thus suitable for being used as 5G materials.

Abstract:
Process for the impregnation of a polymer substrate including at least one polymer, which comprises putting said polymer substrate in contact with at least one aqueous emulsion, preferably an aqueous microemulsion, including at least one organic additive. The impregnated polymer substrate obtained from said process can be advantageously used for obtaining polymer end-products having improved aesthetic characteristics (for example, impregnation with at least one dye) or stability characteristics (for example, impregnation with at least one stabilizer), which can be used in various fields such as, for example, the optical field (e.g., advanced optical components, laser applications), the medical field (e.g., the release of pharmaceutical substances), the agricultural field (e.g., release of pesticides), fragrances (e.g., release of fragrances). More specifically, said polymer substrate can be used in luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) which, in their turn, can be advantageously used together, for example, with photovoltaic cells (or solar cells), or photoelectrolytic cells, in solar devices (i.e. devices for exploiting solar energy). Furthermore, said luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) can be advantageously used together, for example, with photovoltaic cells (or solar cells), in photovoltaic windows.
Abstract:
A method includes contact printing an active composition onto a surface of a release substrate to form a printed surface. The active composition spontaneously dewets the surface of the release substrate to form active deposits on the surface of the release substrate. The active composition comprises an active agent dissolved or dispersed in an aqueous liquid vehicle. A pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is disposed on the printed surface.

The present invention relates to a polymer composition having improved scratch resistance properties, the composition comprising (i) one or more polymers with a glass transition temperature (Tg) of at least 25° C., and (ii) solid particulate material having a surface modified with an organic modifier of formula (I), an organic modifier of formula (I) being the only organic modifier used to modify a surface of the solid particulate material, wherein the solid particulate material is distributed at least throughout a surface layer of the one or more polymers, and wherein the improved scratch resistance is relative to that of the one or more polymers absent the distributed particulate material, (I) where R is selected from a quaternary ammonium cation, a quaternary phosphonium cation, and imidazolium cation and a pyridinium cation; x is an integer ranging from 1-5; Ry is selected from OH, C(O)OH, NH2, SH and CH3; and Z is a counter anion.
Abstract:
Disclosed are the nanoparticle and the method for the same, and the preparing method includes steps of mixing polyethylenimine (PEI) with the poly(acrylic acid)-bound iron oxide (PAAIO) to form a PEI-PAAIO polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) and mixing the PEI-PAAIO PEC with genetic material such as plasmid DNA to form the PEI-PAAIO/pDNA magnetic nanoparticle. The PEI-PAAIO/pDNA magnetoplex is highly water dispersible and suitable for long term storage, shows superparamagnetism, low cytotoxicity, high stability and nice transfection efficiency, and thus the PEI-PAAIO PEC can replace PEI as a non-viral gene vector.
Abstract:
The deposition of graphene is accomplished by various techniques that result in a change of the graphene's solubility in the liquid medium. The solubility change enables the deposition of the graphene onto the substrate. Once the graphene is deposited onto the substrate, the at least partially coated substrate may be separated from the liquid medium. The substrates may then serve as a carrier to deliver the graphene to a desired application.
