Polymer pyrolysis and oxidation studies in a continuous feed and flow reactor : cellulose, polystyrene, and polyethylene
… common polymers. Solid polymer powder (cellulose,polystyrene, or polyethylene) is fed continuously into a volatilization oven where it fragments and vaporizes under continuous steady state conditions. The gas phase polymer fragments flow directly into a second, main flow reactor oven and undergo …

Modification of polymer surfaces to aid the attachment of cells derived from bone.
Polymeric materials such as polystyrene (PS) and ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (PE) have bulk properties which are attractive for biomaterials applications such as orthopaedic implants. However, both PS and PE have low surface energy, and it is well established that high-energy surfaces …
