The Effect of Novolac and Graphite Polycrystal on the Acetone Penetration and Thermal Resistance of Nanocomposites Based on Nitrile Rubber
Developments of high diffusive environments in coincidence with emerging fluids with strong ability to destroy polymeric systems have resulted in rapid deformation and destruction of polymeric parts when in contact with such aggressive environments.Therefore, nowadays, there is a great need to develop highly resistant materials towards aggressive c
Strategies supporting the prevention and control of neglected tropical diseases during and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic
Abstract Emerging and re-emerging zoonotic diseases represent a public health Splatter Screens challenge of international concern.They include a large group of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), many of which are of zoonotic nature.Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), another emerging zoonotic disease, has just increased the stakes exponentially.M
