Therefore, an active wound dressing should have proper mechanical properties, desirable flexibility, optimal water uptake, easy application, and reasonable price, as well as anti-bacterial activity.
The nanofibrous hydrogel yarns possessed anisotropic architecture and robust mechanical properties with flexibility, and could be assembled into defined scaffold structures by subsequent processes.
TETA at 0.4 phr, with respect to the silicone, enhanced the mechanical properties, especially flexibility and toughness, of the PLA/silicone blend.
Considering the required properties for such dressing, polycaprolactone is used as the main component of dressing, because, apart from its biocompatibility, it also enjoys desirable mechanical properties and flexibility.
The sandwich-structured polymer composites that have good mechanical properties, good flexibility and high EMI SE can be achieved by using a simple and effective manufacturing method.
MWK fabrics have a wide application scope ranging from geotextiles, pneumatic materials and construction to automobiles and aerospace-quality components as well as vessel-body parts due to their desired mechanical properties, and flexibility in design and low production cost.
The proposed conductive yarn when converted to fabrics will improve some of the mechanical properties like flexibility, pliability, strength and durability of the conductive fabrics; moreover, the fabric can be woven with higher cover factor to restrict the smaller wavelength waves since the diameter of conductive wires inside the fabrics need not to be enhanced.
Polyurethanes (PUs) are attractive candidates for scaffold fabrication, since they are biocompatible, and have excellent mechanical properties and mechanical flexibility.
Because of their superior mechanical properties, such as flexibility, strain-ability, and bond-ability, Si/GeNMs can be strain-engineered, functionalized, and assembled into two/three-dimensional (2D/3D) micro/nano-architectures and devices.
These polymers exhibit tunable mechanical properties and considerable flexibility.
