one of the common methods to cure unsaturated polyester resins is to use dual initiators. in order to produce an appropriate composite, it is necessary to know the effect of dual initiators on curing behavior. in this paper the effect of benzoyl peroxide, bpo, and tertiary butyl perbenzoate, tbpb, and their mixtures on thermal curing of an unsaturated polyester resin have been investigated. bpo...

Anionic phospholipids are largely absent from the external leaflet of the plasma membrane of mammalian cells under normal conditions. Exposure of phosphatidylserine on the cell surface occurs during apoptosis, necrosis, cell injury, cell activation, and malignant transformation. In the present study, we determined whether anionic phospholipids become exposed on tumor vasculature. A monoclonal a...

Yet, we seem know very little about this important fiber textiles and apparel. This article fills that gap by tracing a cultural history critique There are several phases reception polyester, invented early 1940s. From initial suspicion 195...
