The Core-Shell Approach for Thermally Conductive and Electrically Insulating Polymer Nanocomposites: A Review.

The development of new high-performance materials in the field of polymer composites is becoming increasingly challenging as the requirements for real-life applications evolve rapidly. In particular, the issue of heat dissipation in a multitude of devices has become a matter of critical importance due to the ever-increasing compaction of electronic devices and the significant growth in power density stored in batteries. This calls for the development of novel solutions to enhance heat dissipation while preserving electrical insulation properties, particularly in light of safety concerns.

Medical Plaster Enhancement by Coating with L. Extracts within a Chitosan Matrix: From Natural Complexity to Health Care Simplicity.

Our investigation was focused on the preparation and characterization of novel plasters based on Carboxymethyl Chitosan derivative (CMC), to be used for the treatment of radiation dermatitis with Biologic Active Compounds (BACs) in a moist wound-healing environment. After performing the extraction and characterization of BACs from L., we optimized the BACs/CMC solution for subsequent plaster preparation.
