Polymer System Based on Polyethylene Glycol and TFE Telomers for Producing Films with Switchable Wettability.

Today a lot of attention is paid to the formation of thermosensitive systems for biomedical and industrial applications. The development of new methods for synthesis of such systems is a dynamically developing direction in chemistry and materials science. In this regard, this paper presents results of the studies of a new synthesized supramolecular polymer system based on polyethylene glycol and tetrafluoroethylene telomers.

[Dysphagia as the main symptom in anterior cervical spine osteophytes (Forestier disease and cervical spondylosis deformans). Case reports and literature review].

Unlabelled: Anterior cervical osteophytes are a fairly common X-ray finding in people over 50 years old. Incidence of dysphagia in patients with anterior osteophytes varies from 1% in those aged 40-60 years to 10.6% in patients over 60 years old.

Composite Coatings of AMg3 Alloy Formed by a Combination of Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation and Fluoropolymer Spraying.

This paper presents the results of an investigation of the changes in the corrosion, wear resistance, and wettability of composite coatings formed on the AMg3 alloy through plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) and subsequent spraying with an organofluorine polymer. The evaluation of the electrochemical properties of the composite layers revealed a decrease in the corrosion current density compared with the PEO coating (from 3.8 × 10 to 3.

Features of Composite Layers Created Using an Aqueous Suspension of a Fluoropolymer.

This paper presents a method for the formation of composite-polymer-containing coatings on MA8 Mg alloy by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO), followed by the deposition of a fluoropolymer from an aqueous suspension of superdispersed polytetrafluoroethylene. The Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM), Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy(EDS), and X-ray Diffraction(XRD) analyses established morphological features as well as elemental and phase composition of composite coatings. The fact that the pores are filled with a fluoropolymer has been experimentally confirmed.

Icephobic Performance of Combined Fluorine-Containing Composite Layers on Al-Mg-Mn-Si Alloy Surface.

This paper presents the results of an evaluation of anti-icing properties of samples obtained by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) with a subsequent application of superdispersed polytetrafluoroethylene (SPTFE) and polyvinylidenefluoride (PVDF). A combined treatment of the samples with SPTFE and PVDF is also presented. It is revealed that impregnation of a PEO layer with fluoropolymer materials leads to a significant increase in surface relief uniformity.
