Durotomy is a common neurosurgical complication involving a tear in the dura mater, the protective membrane surrounding the ...

Durotomy frequently results in cerebrospinal fluid leakage, leading to serious secondary complications. Tissue adhesives have ...

The aim of this paper is to review the current understanding of the adhesion when at least one of the two materials adhering is a polymer. The second material may also be polymeric, but also it may be ...

The immune system plays a dual role in inflammation and cancer development. Immune system effector cells quickly identify and destroy malignant cells, but immune system-mediated inflammation regulates ...

A research team discovers universal mechanism that leads to adhesion hysteresis in soft materials. Through a combination of experimental observations and simulations, the team demonstrated that ...

Vitreomacular adhesion (VMA) can be serious, but it’s treatable. It involves two parts of your eye. One is the vitreous, or the “jelly” part that fills the eyeball. The other is the macula, a small ...

Power semiconductor packages are used in high temperature, high voltage environments. With the increase of electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) in the automotive market, demands ...

Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is an advanced material imaging technique, which is able to provide accurate topographic images of a surface. It was created by Gerd Binning and Heinrich Rohrer in 1986 ...

Silicone adhesives, along with primers, flame treatment, or plasma treatment, can be used to adhere low-surface-energy plastics to high-strength metals. For this article, several low-surface-energy ...
