Effects of a newborn care education program using ubiquitous learning on exclusive breastfeeding and maternal role confidence of first-time mothers in Vietnam: a quasi-experimental study.

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the effect of a newborn care education program using ubiquitous learning (UL-NCEP) on exclusive breastfeeding and maternal role confidence of first-time mothers in Vietnam.

Methods: This quasi-experimental study with a nonequivalent control group design was conducted at a university hospital in Hue city, Vietnam, between June and July 2018. Eligible first-time mothers were conveniently allocated to the experimental (n=27) and the control group (n=25).

Dual Cross-linking of Epoxidized Linseed Oil with Combined Aliphatic/Aromatic Diacids Containing Dynamic S-S Bonds Generating Recyclable Thermosets.

The end-of-life of thermoset materials is a real issue that confronts our society, and the strategy of introducing dynamic reversible bonds can be a sustainable solution to overcome this problem. This study shows an efficient way to produce biobased and recyclable thermosets, for a circular use. To reduce the production costs linked to energy and duration, an improved curing process is proposed by combining aromatic and aliphatic diacid hardeners containing dynamic S-S bonds.
