Brushing up on Polymers
نویسنده
چکیده
A symposium on the topic was held at the ACS national meeting in New Orleans last month. It was cosponsored by the Divisions of Polymer Chemistry and Polymeric Materials: Science & Engineering. The symposium was organized by Brittain; University of Houston associate chemistry professor Rigoberto C. Advincula; Duke University senior research scientist Kenneth C. Caster; and Jürgen Rühe, professor of chemistry and physics of interfaces at the University of Freiburg, in Germany.

Rapid fabrication of poly(DL-lactide) nanofiber scaffolds with tunable degradation for tissue engineering applications by air-brushing.
Polymer nanofiber based materials have been widely investigated for use as tissue engineering scaffolds. While promising, these materials are typically fabricated through techniques that require significant time or cost. Here we report a rapid and cost effective air-brushing method for fabricating nanofiber scaffolds using a simple handheld apparatus, compressed air, and a polymer solution. Air...
متن کاملBrushing pansy (Viola tricolor L.) transplants: a flexible, effective method for controlling plant size
Though brushing is an effective method for controlling excessive elongation in many species, its adoption by the commercial plug transplant industry will depend on the ease and flexibility of its application. Brushing was applied to pansy (Viola tricolor L.) seedlings growing at a density of 1500 plants m-2 by daily stroking with 20/20 gauge netting. In dose response experiments, final petiole ...
متن کاملAn Analytical Equation of State for Molten Polymers
An analytical equation of state (EOS) developed by Ihm-Song-Mason (ISM) has been applied tocalculate some thermophysical properties of molten polymers including Poly (1-octene) (PO), Poly (vinylmethyl ether) (PVME), Poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC), and Poly (styrene) (PS). Three temperature-dependentparameters of the ISM EOS have been determined based on the alternative scaling constants, dispersiv...
متن کاملRegular Tooth Brushing is Associated with a Decreased Risk of Metabolic Syndrome According to a Medical Check-Up Database.
Associations have been reported between periodontal disease and increased cardiovascular disease risk, as well as between healthy self-reported tooth brushing behavior and reduced cardiovascular disease risk. We examined the association between self-reported tooth brushing behavior and the risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS) using a large medical check-up database. A total of 12,548 medical check...
متن کاملCommentary. Effect of whitening dentifrices on the surface roughness of commercial composites.
PURPOSE Our study aimed to test the null hypothesis that whitening and non-whitening dentifrices affect similarly the surface roughness of commercial microhybrid composites, independent of the brushing time. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred and ninety-two disc-shaped specimens of Filtek Z250 (3 M/ESPE, St. Paul, MN, USA) and Rok (SDI, Australia) were built up and randomly assigned to 24 grou...
