Photo-reactive polymers.

Photo-reactive polyvinylalcohol for photo-immobilized microarray.

A new photo-reactive polymer, polyvinylalcohol modified with phenylazido groups, was synthesized as a microarray matrix. The polymer is soluble in water and spin-coated onto glass plate. Aqueous solutions of proteins were micro-spotted onto the coated glass and were fixed by ultraviolet light irradiation. Subsequently, cell adhesion on the photo-immobilized protein microarray was investigated. ...

REACTIVE POLYMERS-excerpt1

Reactive Polymers Fundamentals and Applications

Cyanoacrylates were commercially introduced in 1950 by Tennesee Eastman Company. Cyanoacrylate adhesives are monomeric adhesives. They are generally quick-setting materials which cure to clear, hard glassy resins, useful as sealants, coatings, and particularly adhesives for bonding together a variety of substrates [1]. Polymers of alkyl 2-cyanoacrylates are also known as superglues. In addition...
