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...
Rodent models of heart failure: an updated review
Gomes, AC; Falcao Pires, I; Pires, AL; Bras Silva, C; Leite Moreira, AFHeart failure (HF) is one of the major health and economic burdens worldwide, and its prevalence is continuously increasing. The study of HF requires reliable animal models to study the chronic changes and pharmacologic interventions in myocardial structure and function and to follow its progression toward HF. Indeed, during the past 40 years, basic and translational scientists have used small animal models to ...
