The endovascular surgery is a modern approach to vascular pathology through minimally invasive techniques (puncture, minimally vascular approach) and it represents an enrichment of the arsenal of surgical techniques and brings considerable improvements in post-operative and long-term outcomes The use of polymer drug-coating balloons is an attractive alternative because they can offer the promise of an improved patency compared to the simple balloons and a reduction in the need for stents. The aims of this study were to describe the polymer materials and to compare the medical endpoints obtained in angiosome-targeted infrapopliteal angioplasty using a simple balloon with two layers, based on polyethylene, and respectively a drug-coated balloon that contains a multiblock copolymer from polyethylene, poly(cylohexylethylene), polyisoprene and poly(1,3-butadiene) covered by Paclitaxel. The balloons were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry, stress-strain and puncture tests in order to describe their physical and mechanical characteristics. On the other hand, 51 patients with critical limb ischemia were treated with different balloon angioplasty and they were monitored for 12 months after the intervention; the following parameters have been evaluated: diabetes, hypertension, renal insufficiency, hemodialysis, stroke, dyslipidemia, heart disease, heart failure, body mass index, number of angiosomes, creatinine, and wound healing, leg salvage and amputation-free survival at 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 12 months. Significant associations were found in the case of anterior-tibial-artery and posterior-tibial-artery angioplasy and the age, hypertension and renal insufficiency. On the other hand, the results indicate that the drug deposition on the surface of the balloons lead to improved values for the observed medical endpoints. In conclusion, this study reveals that angiosome-based infrapopliteal angioplasty with drug-coated balloons can be associated with better wound healing and leg salvage.\u0000","PeriodicalId":18360,"journal":{"name":"Materiale Plastice","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43284784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper presents the way to obtain nanostructured paint/plastic/nanopowder paint systems with electromagnetic shielding properties, as well as their characterization by FTIR analysis, DSC and dielectric tests. These systems have Electro-magnetic Interference (EMI)/Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) applications in the manufacture of enclosures for various electronic devices and for the automotive industry. At the laboratory level, 4 non-additive experimental models (EM) coded M1-M4 and 16 additive experimental models coded M5-M20 were obtained. Revolutionary to these materials is the fact that inside they are insulating and, on the outside, they behave like a shield. The results obtained from the dielectric tests performed on the 16 additive systems showed that the samples with a maximum percentage (20 %) of metal nanopowders show the highest values of electrical conductivity. Of the two nanopowders used, that of Fe from samples M11, M12, M19 and M20 which induces the composite higher conductivities than Al nanopowders. The ATR/FTIR spectra of the two paint samples analyzed showed that they were almost identical, suggesting that the paints tested had the same basic chemical structure. DSC analysis showed that pigment paint (V2) has low thermal oxidation stability and lower decomposition temperatures than pigment-free paint (V1), therefore, V2 is less stable under usage conditions, under the influence of normal environmental factors (temperature, humidity, natural or artificial light, etc.) compared to V1.\u0000","PeriodicalId":18360,"journal":{"name":"Materiale Plastice","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41376142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the fist part of the investigation, from the compression test, some mechanical characteristics are determined, such as: breaking strength or maximum force obtained at breaking. Then, by using the SEM analysis and EDS spectrometry, some samples with 50% dammar and 60% dammar were investigated. The last hybrid resin test was Shore D hardness and it was found out that the hardness decreases with the increase of dammar percentage. In the last part of the study, some composites by using the poposed hybrid resin reinforced with corn cob powder were manufactured.
