Composite Nonwoven Materials with Microparticles for Regenerative Surgery

Composite nonwoven materials with different medical supplements are widely used for regenerative surgery. Majority of these medicines are cytotoxic, therefore precise drug delivery is necessary to decrease toxic effects. We propose novel polymer nanofibrous material impregnated by core–shell microstructures that can provide targeted and controllable release of encapsulated drugs. This biodegradable scaffold system was fabricated using mixing of calcium carbonate microparticles with chitosan solutions followed by electrospinning method.

The current state of producing of nanostructured composite materials based on polymers like molecular brushes was described. Experimental results established that using hydrophobic nanoparticles allows to effectively integrate the nanoparticles into the brush polymer monolayer with different length of the side chainsIn this case for composite monolayer formation we need to spread an aliquot of the polymer and nanoparticles simultaneously on the surface of the water subphase using Langmuir–Blodgett technique.

The review of scientific articles devoted to preparation of hybrid structures and widespread methods of impact on structure, composition and organic coating properties was carried out. It was demonstrated that difference between chemical and physical methods to modify and to impact is relative due to similar electrostatic interaction under applied external electric fields as well as between molecules and their fragments, i.e. there are internal electric fields in polyelectrolyte’s solution and at interfaces.

Langmuir Monolayers in the Electric Field

An influence of the electric field oriented vertically on the formation process of monolayers. Water and water solutions of inorganic salts are used as a subphase. It’s experimentally shown that the electric field may affect significantly on the monolayers formation of fatty acids: manolayr’s loosening occurs when a deionized water is used as a subphase; manolayr’s consolidation is observed when water solutions of inorganic salts are used as a subphase. An electric field can be significant technology factor of the Langmuir monolayer’s formation process.

Basing on numerical simulation of classical trajectories, the influence of a strong magnetic field on the rate of the spontaneous radiative recombination of antihydrogen atoms in cold antiproton-positron plasma is theoretically studied under the conditions of the ATHENA and ATRAP experiments carried out in CERN.

HETEROPHASE SEMICONDUCTORS UNDERACTION OF IRRADIATIONS

The history and current state of our heteropfiase photoconducting CdS-PbS films investigations are observed. Films were prepared by the vacuum evaporation method from the materials with limited mu tual solubility. Reasons of increased degradation stability with respect to radiation (in particular y- and electronic irradiations) are found out. Degradation stability is explained by diversion of recombination flow from wide-gap phase to narrow-gap. Radiation stimulated defects also move to narrow-gap phase.

CONTEMPORARY PROBLEMS IN MODELING FROM TIME SERIES

Mathematical modeling from discrete sequences of experimental data (time series) is an actively developing field in mathematical statistics and nonlinear dynamics. It started from approximation of a set of data points on a plane with a smooth curve, while currently such empiric models take the form of sophisticated differential and difference equations and are capable of describing even nonlinear oscillatory and wave phenomena. Practical applications of the empiric models are various ranging from future forecasts to technical and medical diagnostics.
