Free Radicals in Plastic Food Containers

Free radicals in polymers are produced during synthesis and interaction with catalysts, initiator of chemical reactions, fillers, stabilizers, and other substances which as chemically or physically active remain dissolved in condensed phase of final product. Also γ irradiation causes both immediate and time dependent changes which arise from the presence of long living free radicals. The free r...

Comparative study of regular insulin adhesion to the walls of glass and plastic serum containers

Research has shown that the choice of solution and serum containers is effective in the patient's access to insulin.Our goal is ...
