Flexible Composite Films Made of EMAA(-)Na(+) Ionomer: Evaluation of the Influe...
Tita, SPS; Magalhaes, FD; Paiva, D; Bertochi, MAZ; Teixeira, GF; Pires, AL; pereira, a. m.; Tarpani, JRStudies that aim to produce flexible films of composite materials based on ionomers-PZT, and volume fractions lower than 10% PZT, in order to monitor damage in aeronautical structures are seldom investigated. The growing emphasis on the use of polymers capable of self-healing after damage or activation by heating has motivated the application of self-healing ionomers as polymeric matrices in composites with pie...
Mechanical study of PLA-PCL fibers during in vitro degradation
Vieira, AC; Vieira, JC; Ferra, JM; Magalhaes, FD; Guedes, RM; Marques, ATThe aliphatic polyesters are widely used in biomedical applications since they are susceptible to hydrolytic and/or enzymatic chain cleavage, leading to alpha-hydroxyacids, generally metabolized in the human body. This is particularly useful for many biomedical applications, especially, for temporary mechanical supports in regenerative medical devices. Ideally, the degradation should be compatible with the tiss...
