Bioengineering of Bacteria To Assemble Custom-Made Polyester Affinity Resins

Bioengineering of bacteria to assemble custom-made polyester affinity resins.

Proof of concept for the in vivo bacterial production of a polyester resin displaying various customizable affinity protein binding domains is provided. This was achieved by engineering various protein binding domains into a bacterial polyester-synthesizing enzyme. Affinity binding domains based on various structural folds and derived from molecular libraries were used to demonstrate the potent...

Preparation of Chlorendic Acid Based Polyester Resins

Four polyesters were prepared by stepwise condensation of isopbthalic acid, cblorendic acid and maleic anhydride with propylene glycol using p-toluenesulpbonic acid as catalyst and xylene as entrainer. The quantities of maleic anbydride and propylene glycol used were 1 and 2.2 moles respectively and tbe molar ratios of cblorendic acid to isopbtbalic acid were 0.2: 0.8. 0.4: 0.6, 0.6: 0.4 and 0....

Mixed Waste Encapsulation in Polyester Resins

Innovative Technology Summary Reports are designed to provide potential users with the information they need to quickly determine if a technology would apply to a particular environmental management problem. They are also designed for readers who may recommend that a technology be considered by prospective users. Each report describes a technology, system, or process that has been developed and...

Surface Characterization of Polyester Resins Formulated with Different Crosslinking Agents

Coil Coating is an industrial process widely used to apply a paint layer to metal coil stock, in order to improve the resistance to corrosion as well as the aestetics of the surface. Three thermally cured coatings, formulated on a low Tg ispophtalic based polyester, were investigated by XPS and ToF-SIMS. A model formulation was employed for all three coatings investigated, however, the crosslin...
