Ecological toxicity through the life cycle of building materials

Introduction.At the present stage it is becoming important to take into account the category of environmental toxicity (ecotoxicity) in the life cycle assessment of building materials in accordance with the methodology of international standards ISO 14000 series.Among the methods of Hammocks ecotoxicity assessment, two groups can be distinguished.T

Mechanical characterization data of polyacrylamide hydrogel formulations and 3D printed PLA for application in human head phantoms

To study human traumatic brain injury (TBI) mechanics, a realistic surrogate must be developed for testing in impact experiments.In this data brief, materials used to simulate brain tissue and skull are characterized for application in a full-scale human head phantom.Polyacrylamide hydrogels are implemented as tissue scaffolds and tissue mimics bec
