Micro-structured polymeric materials

This textbook represents an attempt to present a relatively brief overview of Materials Science, the anticipated readership being students of structural and mechanical engineering. It is in two sections – the first characterising engineering materials, the second considering structure–property relationships. Emphasis is thus placed on the relationship between structure and properties of materials, starting with the concept of ‘structure’ at three levels - crystal structure, microstructure, and molecular structure.

A combination of gel-casting and polymeric foam infiltration methods is used in this study to prepare porous bodies of hydroxyapatite (HA), to provide a better control over the microstructures of samples. These scaffolds were prepared by impregnating a body of porous polyurethane foam with slurry containing HA powder, and using a percentage of solids between 40% and 50% w/v, and three different types of monomers to provide a better performance.

The rapidly increasing number of applications for microemulsions has kept this relatively old topic still at the top point of research themes. This book provides an assessment of some issues influencing the characteristics and performance of the microemulsions, as well as their main types of applications. In chapter 1 a short introduction about the background, various aspects and applications of microemulsions is given. In Part 2 some experimental and modeling investigations on microstructure and phase behavior of these systems have been discussed. ...
