Polymers
Polymers are made up of multiple units of _________
This process involves heating metals to high temperatures and then cooling them at a controlled rate to alter their properties
What is heat treatment?
This imaging technique uses a focused beam of electrons to visualize the surface morphology of biomaterials at high resolution
What is scanning electron microscopy (SEM)?
In CAD engineering, what does the acronym "CAD" stand for
What is Computer-Aided Design?
This person is the newly elected ByLaws Officer
Who is Nhu Y Mai?
This type of polymerization involves the repeated addition of monomers with unsaturated bonds
What is addition polymerization?
This metal is known for its high conductivity and is widely used in electrical wiring and transmission lines
What is copper?
This method is used to amplify DNA sequences, making millions of copies of a specific DNA fragment for analysis
What is polymerase chain reaction (PCR)?
This imaging technique uses magnetic fields and radio waves to visualize internal structures of the body
What is magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)?
These two hare the newly elected members for SFB as Public Relations and Undergraduate Relations
Who Ernest Obeng and Sadie Meyer?
The degree of regularity in the molecular packing arrangement within a polymer chain is referred to as this
What is polymer crystallinity?
This metal is widely used in orthopedic implants due to its excellent biocompatibility and mechanical properties, particularly in applications such as hip and knee replacements
What is titanium?
This method involves growing cells in a three-dimensional scaffold to mimic the natural cellular environment and study cell behavior or tissue regeneration
What is 3D cell culture or tissue engineering?
A topical gel formulation that uses nanosized emulsion globules
what is nanoemulgel?
These two people are the new treasurer and Outreach chair for SFB in the new upcoming school year
Who are Anna Merife and Natalie Petryk?
These polymers are designed to change their properties such as shape in response to external stimuli such as temperature, pH, or light
What are smart or stimuli-responsive polymers?
What are shape memory polymers?
This process, commonly used in the manufacturing of metallic biomaterials, involves heating the material to high temperatures and then slowly cooling it to relieve internal stresses and improve its mechanical properties.
What is annealing?
This microscopy technique allows for the visualization of atomic-scale details on the surface of materials by scanning a sharp probe tip across the sample surface.
What is scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) or atomic force microscopy (AFM)?
This biomaterial is a insoluble protein present in silk. produced by numerous insects, such as the larvae of Bombyx mori, and other moth genera such as Antheraea
what is fibroin?
Who is Matty Lesko?
This polymerization mechanism does not undergo termination.
what is step-growth polymerization?
This metal processing technique, often used in the fabrication of metallic implants, involves shaping the material by compressing it between two dies under high pressure
What is forging?
This spectroscopic technique provides detailed information about the molecular structure and dynamics of materials by measuring the nuclear magnetic resonance properties of atomic nuclei
What is nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy?
This process, commonly used in biomaterials engineering, involves ionizing gas in a vacuum chamber to form and alter the surface of a material.
What is plasma treatment or plasma modification?
These two members are the new President and Vice President of SFB for the upcoming school year
