A novel approach to property enhancement of poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA) through the use of perfluoropolyether (PFPE) enchainment is described. Segmented copolymers (FluoroPLA) exhibit tailored surface properties with reasonably high molecular weights

It was hypothesized that supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO(2)) treatment could serve as an alternative sterilization method at various temperatures (40-105 degrees C), CO(2) pressures (200-680 atm), and treatment times (25 min to 6 h), and with or

The Confederate submarine H. L. Hunley, built in 1863, was successfully recovered in August 2000 after nearly 140 years of immersion in the Atlantic Ocean. One of the most significant challenges faced in the Hunley's stabilization and conservation wi
