Morphology of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) nanofibers was studied while varying needle-collector distance and concentrations of graphene oxide, poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS), and functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes. Most notably, we found that variations in PVA nanofiber diameter of ~ 34 nm exist in the ra

Star-shaped polymers have vast potential in bioapplication due to their architecture. In this study, 4 -arm star-shaped of poly(ԑ-caprolactone) (4s PCL) with -OH terminal and average molecular weight (Mn) of 5, 10, and 15 kDa, were synthesized via ring opening polymerization, (ROP) of ԑ-caprolactone (ԑ-CL) using a symmetric pentaerythritol (PET)

Background: Hand palpation is one of the essential steps involved in physical examination for patient presented with abdominal pain. It is essential and had been trained among medical students before eligible to practice as a medical doctor.
