A peroxide induced reaction was applied as a cross-linking method for Poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) biomaterial gate dielectrics. PHBV was effectively cross-linked with a peroxide inducer at a relatively low temperature (90°C). The cross-linked microstructures improve the thermal stability compared with uncross-linked PHBV. This peroxide induced cross-linking method was compatible with plastic substrates for flexible electronic applications. The cross-linked PHBV thin films displayed smooth surfaces.

Thin films (0.2 μm to 1.8 μm) of photosensitive and nonphotosensitive BCB were fabricated and the degree of planarization (DOP) and dielectric properties were investigated. It was found that a high DOP for wide spaces (>20 μm spaces with 1 μm of BCB) was possible with nonphotosensitive BCB but not photosensitive BCB because of the cross-linking reaction during the photo-process. Thin films (as thin as 0.2 μm) exhibited dielectric properties similar to thick films. The dielectric properties of the photosensitive BCB were slightly higher than nonphotosensitive BCB. Low loss properties were observed at all thickness.

In order to improve physicochemical properties of Tilapia skin collagen (TSC), 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethyl amino-propyl)-carbodiimide (EDC) was used as a cross-linking agent for TSC matrices. The difference in physicochemical properties between cross-linked and uncross-linked TSC was characterized by measuring shrinkage temperature, water uptake and anti-enzyme effect. The results indicated that, after the cross-linking, the thermal stability was increased; the anti-enzyme effect was improved obviously. It is thus concluded that the EDC cross-linking greatly improve the physicochemical properties of TSC.

In order to improve thermal stability of Poly (Vinyl Chloride), a kind of thermal reversible cross-linking agents, the end cyclopentadienyl ethanethiol salts, sodium cyclopentadienyl ethyl mercaptan (CPD-C2H4SNa) was synthesized in this paper. The DSC results proved that the prepared CPD-C2H4SNa has obvious thermal reversible characteristics and the thermal reversible temperature was at 177 °C. The effects of cross-linking agent amount, cross-linking reactive time and temperature on flexible PVC compounds were evaluated through gel content testing. It was showed that the cross-linking agent with 3 Phr is optimum for PVC compounds. Moreover, both the cross-linking reactive time and temperature has effects on gel content of PVC compounds. The gel content of CPD-C2H4SNa cross-linked PVC compounds reaches maximum at 76% for 20 min at 160 °C.The static thermal stability of flexible PVC was measured according to congo red method. The results showed that the thermal stability of PVC compounds was enhanced with increasing cross-linking agent amount.

Gelatin is a biopolymer with interesting properties that can be useful for biomaterial design for different applications such as drug delivery systems, or 3D scaffolds for tissue engineering. However, gelatin suffers from poor mechanical stability at physiological temperature, hence methods for improving its properties are highly desirable. In the present work, a new chemical cross-linking strategy based on triazolinedione ene-type chemistry towards stable hydrogel is proposed. Two different homobifunctional 1,2,4-triazoline-3,5(4H)-diones, namely 4,4′-hexane-1,6-diylbis(3H-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5(4H)-dione) 1 and 4,4′-[methylenebis(4,1-phenylene)]bis(3H-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5(4H)-dione) 2 were used as cross-linkers in different ratio to tyrosine residues in gelatin. The reaction was proved effective in all experimented conditions and hydrogels featured with different thermal stability were obtained. In general, the higher the cross-linker/tyrosine ratio, the more thermostable the hydrogel. The swelling properties are strictly dependent upon the chemical nature of the cross-linker.

Synthesis and characterization of biodegradable hydrogels based on collagen modified by addition of synthetic biodegradable copolymer intended for preparation of porous scaffolds for mesenchymal stem cells used for possible implantation to animals with articular surface defects was investigated. The synthetic biodegradable tri-block copolymer used was the block copolymer of polyethylene glycol (PEG), polylactic acid (PLA), polyglycolic acid (PGA) (PEG-PLGA) endcapped with itaconic acid (ITA). The water-soluble carbodiimide and N-hydroxysuccimide system (EDC-NHS) was chosen as the cross-linking agent used to control the rate of hydrogel resorption. Dependence of the physical properties of the prepared hydrogels on the concentration of the EDC-NHS cross-linker, reaction time and concentration of PEG-PLGA-ITA copolymer was examined. Swelling behaviour, thermal stability, surface morphology and degradation rate were also characterized. Based on the obtained results, it can be concluded that increase in concentration of the cross-linking agent, as well as prolonged cross-linking time and increased amount of synthetic copolymer lead to enhanced thermal stability of the gels together with a reduced swelling ratio and degradation rate in saline. The resorption rate of these gels used in preparation of cartilage scaffolds can be controlled over a wide time interval by varying the collagen/(PEG-PLGA-ITA) blend composition or the conditions of the cross-linking reaction.

Nano-precipitates of Sm-doped CeO2 were uniformly coated onto porous Pt thin films via cathodic electrochemical deposition. Deposition of only 5 min created an oxide coating that increased the values of the electrode conductance by more than two orders of magnitude and provided outstanding thermal stability even at 600 °C for more than 100 h compared to the bare Pt electrodes.
