We demonstrate a polarizer-free electro-optical switch using dye-doped liquid crystal (LC) gels. The mechanism of dye-doped LC gels mainly involves the combination of polymer scattering and dye absorption. However, the domain size of polymer networks, dye concentration, LC concentration, and fabrication process can all affect the phase separation process and thus result in dye-doped LC gels wit...

Properly fabricated polymer gels exhibit an abrupt change in volume in response to a small change in an environmental parameter, such as temperature. We have developed gels that change in volume in response to an applied alternating magnetic field, and we are working to apply these gels as actuators. This paper describes power electronic circuits suitable for electromagnetic activation of these...

Les auteurs font une revue de la litterature a propos de deux cas de l'agenesie de l'artere renale, anomalie rare, dont les circonstances de decouverte varient selon les cas: infections recidiventes des voies urinaires, anomalie du Perinee, hypertension arterielle.  La premiere observation concerne une fillette a.gee de 7 ans, hospitalisee pour une insuffi­sance cardiaque severe avec hypertens...

Tes kystes du grand Epiploon sont assez rares, ct es lymphangiomies kystiques de grand epiploon asscz exceptionnelles.Le coutenu de ces kystes lymphatiques peuvent etres soit sereux soit chyleux.  Au point de vue pathogenic, Ladd et Gross pell­sent que ces kystes proviennent de l'isolemcnt ct du tlevelopement d'un ou plusieurs kystes lymphatiquc, primitifs.  Dans !'observation que nous prcsen...

Fluorescent supramolecular gel is a large group in luminescent gels. In the scope of practical applications, excellent stability and robust luminescence are complementary indispensable for high-performance fluorescent Therefore, this Perspective, proceedings precursor explorations stabilizing boosting behavior gels will be briefly summarized. The challenges possible development frontiers also p...

BACKGROUND This work aimed to provide useful information on the use of nanoemulsions for the percutaneous administration of triptolide. Lipid nanosystems have great potential for transdermal drug delivery. Nanoemulsions and nanoemulsion gels were prepared to enhance percutaneous permeation. Microstructure and in vitro/in vivo percutaneous delivery characteristics of triptolide (TPL)-nanoemulsio...

In this study, a novel composite gel was fabricated from Konjac glucomannan (KGM) combined with zein, while its properties and structure were characterized. The effect of the KGM/zein ratios freeze-thaw treatment on gels investigated. storage modulus (G?) KGM increased even when zein content below 20%, partial phase separation occurred exceeded 50%. initial decomposition temperature improved by...
