My research group is involved in modifying fiber surface topography and chemistry to control their adhesion to different resins.
GO prepared from graphite by the Hummer's method was facilely functionalized in one step with T. Graft polymerization reactions of styrene and isoprene were carried out using nitroxide chemistry to control the polymerization and the 'grafting from the surface' polymerization technique.
Numerous invertebrates manipulate carbonate chemistry to control the crystallization of different calcium carbonate mineral polymorphs such as aragonite or calcite within organic matrices.
The understanding of physical chemistry to control texture in, for example, emulsions, gels, foams, and glasses has an enormous range of potential applications to produce foods of novel and interesting textures in the kitchen.
We begin by describing general aspects of materials design, including the wide variety of chemistries exploited to control the electronic and optical properties of these materials.
All routine dialysis concentrates for ∼160 patients from August 2010 to November 2011 were produced by this system and were included in routine chemistry analyses to control for solute stability after the dissolution of dry salts.
One of the consequences of heavy use of pesticides, herbicides and fungicides in agricultural systems has been the recurrent inundation of soils with these chemistries, either deliberately to control soil pests or diseases, or incidentally, during the spraying of crops.
Therefore, a subtle interplay between elastic effects and chemistry is found to control the hydration energy/enthalpy, the more electronegative dopants – indium particularly – producing, at given radius, a less stable hydrated state.
This technology combines engineering, physics, chemistry, biology and computing to control the devices.
Here we explore modulation of surface chemistry as a means to control complement deposition, in active or inactive forms, on polypropylene sulfide core, block copolymer Pluronic corona NPs.
