this study employed a quantitative method based on BSE image analysis. By applying the K-means machine learning algorithm to perform color clustering segmentation on EDS images with different grayscale values, subjective biases were alleviated because there was no need to manually...
PCL is a synthetic polyester polymer that can be degraded by hydrolysis of its ester linkages in physiological conditions, this polymer consists of a low melting point (Tm = 60 °C) [14]. PLA is one of the rigid biomaterials and aliphatic synthetic polyester polymer. Changing polymer ratio, ...
Figure 4. Closed-loop vs. open-loop recycling. Adapted from [32]. The fact that post-consumer textiles often consist of fiber blends is a major obstacle to their recycling, as the natural and synthetic polymer mixtures are so complex. Recycling is particularly difficult with fabric blends tha...
specifically via synthetic polymers loaded with molecules using different methodologies for targeted release [2]. PCL-based implants should be modified, when used as a carrier of antimicrobial substances, by adding antimicrobial agents in order to prevent microbial growth and inhibit bacterial and fungal...

Additionally, three synthetic road grade profiles of different spatial frequencies are generated as 𝛿𝑟=𝛿𝑟,𝑚𝑎𝑥sin(𝑘𝜋𝑠𝑓𝑠),δr=δr,maxsin(kπsfs), (8) where 𝛿𝑟,𝑚𝑎𝑥δr,max represents the road grade amplitude (here set to 2°), 𝑘k is the...
Molecules 2019, 24, 222 19 of 26 The pre-culture was carried out in a synthetic medium containing glucose ~10 g/L, peptone ~10 g/L and yeast extract ~10 g/L. All fermentations carried out under fully aerobic conditions [Dissolved Oxygen Tension (DOT) > 20% v/v] as flasks were ...
