COOLMAX is a specially engineered type of polyester exclusively produced by Invista, an American textile corporation.
such as methyl acrylate or methyl methacrylate, and is reacted with a catalyst in a conventional suspension or solution polymerization process to form a polyacrylonitrile plastic. The plastic is then spun into fibers using one of several different methods. In one particular method...
Heterodimeric capping protein (CP/CapZ) is an essential factor for the assembly of branched actin networks, which push against cellular membranes to drive a large variety of cellular processes. Aside from terminating filament growth, CP potentiates the n
And if the dehydration process is then initiated in 70% ethanol, the vitrified water will be very rapidly substituted with the alcoholic solution; proteoglycans within the extracellular matrix will be lost to the medium, and the tissue blocks will undergo considerable dimensional changes. Only when ...
Recently, photochemical polymerizations have received interest since they can be performed under mild conditions and they offer temporal control over the reaction. In this study, the kinetics of photochemical dithiobenzoate-mediated RAFT polymerization in the presence of triethylamine is explored. This syst...
atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) using compatibilizing monomers. Through the surface initiated polymerization a thin coating of polymer is introduced on the MWCNT to prevent agglomeration and permit much easier dispersion into the targeted polymer such as a PDMS p...
The first porous alumina layer was etched away and a second anodisation step was performed, during which pore growth was initiated from dents left over by the nanopores in the first layer, resulting in regular surface features.25,26 Nanosmooth alumina surfaces of 10×10×0.5 mm (Alfa ...

The membrane attack complex (MAC) is one of the immune system’s first responders. Complement proteins assemble on target membranes to form pores that lyse pathogens and impact tissue homeostasis of self-cells. How MAC disrupts the membrane barrier remai
