Polyacrylamide hydrogels as substrates for studying bacteriawz
Since its introduction by Robert Koch in 1882, agar has been the most commonly used substrate for the growth and study of bacteria. Agar consists of alternating blocks of D-galactose and 3,6-anhydro-L-galactose and is a polysaccharide with a variety of characteristics that are useful for culturing bacteria: (1) it is biocompatible; (2) it is inert to metabolism and degradation by bacteria; (3) ...
متن کاملPreparation of DNA-crosslinked polyacrylamide hydrogels.
Mechanobiology is an emerging scientific area that addresses the critical role of physical cues in directing cell morphology and function. For example, the effect of tissue elasticity on cell function is a major area of mechanobiology research because tissue stiffness modulates with disease, development, and injury. Static tissue-mimicking materials, or materials that cannot alter stiffness onc...
متن کاملPerformance of Sulfonated Polyacrylamide/Chromium Triacetate Hydrogels for Water Shut-off Treatment
A hydrogel was prepared by crosslinking aqueous solutions of sulfonated polyacrylamide/chromium triacetate for use in water shut off operations. Gel swelling and the effects of salinity, injection time and flow rate on residual resistance factor (Frr) were investigated. In the presence of electrolytes, gel swelling decreased by about 80%. Results showed that oil permeability increased as inject...
متن کاملThe Adsorption of Polyacrylamide Nanocomposite Hydrogels on Sandstone
A key parameter for the application of polymer gels in water shut off treatment is the adsorption of polymer gel onto the rock surface. So, the adsorption properties of a nanocomposite hydrogel were discussed in this research by crosslinking of sulfonated polyacrylamide/sodium montmorillonite aqueous solutions with chromium triacetate. The X-ray diffraction patterns indicated that exfoliated ty...
متن کاملMicropatterned Substrates for Studying Astrocytes in Culture
Recent studies of the physiological roles of astrocytes have ignited renewed interest in the functional significance of these glial cells in the central nervous system. Many of the newly discovered astrocytic functions were initially demonstrated and characterized in cell culture systems. We discuss the use of microculture techniques and micropatterning of cell-adhesive substrates in studies of...
