Synthesis, Properties, and Derivatization of Poly(dihydrogermane): A Germanium-Based Polyethylene Analogue

Polygermanes are germanium-based analogues of polyolefins and possess polymer backbones made up catenated Ge atoms. Within the current contribution we report the preparation of a germanium polyethylene analogue, polydihydrogermane (GeH2)n, through two easy approaches that contain topotactic deintercalation of Ca ions from the CaGe Zintl part.   The ensuing (GeH2)n possesses morphologically dependent chemical and digital…

Influence of polyethylene terephthalate/ polyamide (PET/PA) bilayer structure on physical and strength-related properties of superpressure angioplasty balloons

  Background: Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), together with balloon angioplasty, is a regular scientific invasive therapy for coronary artery illness. The coronary lesion with calcification is tough to dilate and the prevention of balloon failure is particularly vital.   Goal: A novel superpressure balloon was fabricated with bilayered construction of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and PA12 (polyamide).…
