Owing to alginate gel forming capability, it is widely used in food, textile and paper industries; and to a lesser extent in biomedical applications as biomaterial to promote wound healing

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and mechanical tests were conducted to characterize the properties of polybutylene terephthalate/polyethylene terephthalate (PBT/PET) blends. PBT and PET were blended at different PBT/PET ratios (80/20, 60/40, 40/60, 20/80) via twin screw extruder prior to injection molding.

The scattered-radiations that reached the eye lens of angiographic staff can cause radiation-induced cataract. This preliminary study aimed to find the correlation between scattered-radiation doses and heights which corresponds to the eyes of angiographic staff at different positions in an angiography room. An anthropomorphic upper body phantom (Ky

It is important to know the distribution of harmful scattered-radiation doses that reach the eyes of interventional angiography staff. This is because those radiations are capable of causing radiation-induced cataract. Thus, a preliminary study was conducted to compare the scattered-doses in the angiography room at different positions and eye level
