EFFECT OF ACCELERATED WEATHERING ON COLOR AND PHYSICO-MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF WOOD-PLASTIC COMPOSITES WITH NANO TITANIUM DIOXIDE

Effect of Accelerated Weathering on Color and Physico-mechanical Properties of Wood-plastic Composites with Nano Titanium Dioxide

Polypropylene (PP) with black locust wood flour and maleic grafted polypropylene were used to prepare wood plastic composites (WPC) by injection molding.The effect of the addition of nano titanium oxide (nano TiO2) on the properties of the composites was investigated.The specimens were weathered in an accelerated weathering apparatus using a xenon

Interventions and practices using Comfort Theory of Kolcaba to promote adults’ comfort: an evidence and gap map protocol of international effectiveness studies

Abstract Background Comfort is a primary patient objective and central to patient experience, and thus, maximising comfort is a universal goal for healthcare.However, comfort is a complex concept that is difficult to operationalise and evaluate, resulting in a lack of scientific and standardised comfort care practices.The Comfort Theory developed b

Development of peritoneal tumor-targeting vector by in vivo screening with a random peptide-displaying adenovirus library.

The targeting of gene transfer at the cell-entry level is one of the most attractive challenges in vector development.However, attempts to redirect adenovirus vectors to alternative receptors by engineering the capsid-coding region have shown limited success, because the proper targeting ligands on the cells of interest are generally unknown.To ove
