(5) A backing layer on the rear of the film base counteracts curling.
The three layered buccal compact comprises a peripheral layer, core layer and backing layer.
The 40 μm backing layer is made of a water-insoluble polymer, ethyl cellulose (EC).
Water crossover from anode to cathode was lowered by the introduction of MPL to cathode backing layer, the reduction of hydrophobicity of cathode backing layer, and the reduction of membrane thickness.
In the regime dominated by misalignment, backing layer deformation can counteract misalignment giving rise to improved load sharing when compared to an identical fibrillar array with a rigid backing layer.
Adding a non-soluble or slowly eroding/dissolving backing layer to a mucoadhesive drug-loaded layer enables unidirectional drug delivery.
We found that a too thin anode backing layer resulted in lower cell voltages in the entire current density region, whereas a too thick backing layer led to a lower limiting current density.
Before graphene on Cu backing layer was separated and transferred to other substrates, the back side of graphene was first removed by oxygen plasma.
For XRD analysis, the wires were left embedded in the templates; however, both the caps and backing layer were removed from the nanowires.
When a scroll is rolled, the backing layer stretches to accommodate bending while the decorated top layer compresses, creating a difference in elasticity over time.
Load sharing regimes dominated by backing layer interactions and misalignment are revealed, the transition between which is controlled by the misalignment angle, fibril separation, and fibril compliance.
