Print-parameter control of cure state in DLP-printed biocarbon/ABS-like photopolymer composites: A proof-of-concept study of microstructure and acoustic impedance toward ultrasound-visible tissue markers

Image-guided breast biopsy relies on an implanted marker that must remain locatable across ultrasound, mammography and MRI, yet current devices force a compromise: metallic markers corrupt MRI and fade on ultrasound, whereas polymer markers are MRI-friendly but carry a fixed, mou...

Alkaline hydrolysis of electrospun PAN/h-BN composite nanofibres: Structural and chemical baseline for ionic electroactive polymer applications

Electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) / hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) composite nanofibre membranes (h-BN: 0–40 wt%) were hydrolyzed with equimolar (2.0 M) NaOH and KOH, and the resulting fifteen compositions were characterized by SEM, ATR-FTIR, XRD, n -butanol porosimetry, and gr...
