Using two approaches, small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) from bulk solutions and nanopore conductance-fluctuation analysis, we studied structural and dynamic features of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) water/salt solutions in the dilute and semidilute regimes. SANS measurements on PEG 3400 at the zero-average contrast yielded the single chain radius of gyration (Rg) over 1-30 wt %. We observed a...

It was a pleasure to read the elegant and witty commentary by Gutierrez and Fuller [1] regarding our paper published in Shock [2] on resuscitation of rats using our aloe-derived drag-reducing polymer (DRP) solution. However, we disagree with the statement that, 'the application of physical principles to complex living organisms often requires assumptions ad absurdum.' There is always physics be...

Developing sustainable, low viscous and efficient solvents are always advantageous to the processing/fabricating of cellulose materials in practical applications. To this end, in this work novel solvents were developed; ([Amim][CH3COO]/PEG) by dissolving polyethylene glycol 200 (PEG-200) in 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([Amim][CH3COO]). The solubilities of cellulose in [Amim][CH3COO]/PEG...

The human population is widely exposed to polyethylene glycol (PEG) and its chemical derivatives, which are widely used as vehicles or co-solvents in many pharmaceutical and cosmetic preparations. However, PEG polymers of low molecular weight differ significantly from polymers of higher molecular weight in their physico-chemical properties, biological effects on cell permeability and their abso...

A lot of people in the world choose rice as their main source carbohydrate beside maize and wheat. The increasing population make demand. Increasing demand doesn’t followed by supply. In order to solve that problem, researcher try find a new paddy cultivar which is can be planted dry area. This research aims study osmotic pressure still accepted var. Sintanur, LD50 (lethal dose 50) value especi...

Polyamide-6 (PA6) submicron-sized spheres are prepared by two steps: (1) anionic ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactam in the presence of poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly-(propylene glycol)-block-poly(ethylene glycol)(PEG-b-PPG-b-PEG) and (2) separation of PA6 spheres by dissolving PEG-b-PPG-b-PEG from the prepared blends. The PA6 microspheres obtained are regular spherical, with diamete...

hbs vaccines were prepared by three different methods: 1) heat inactivation (krugman, et.al 1971)2) ammonium sulphate precipitation followed by column chromatography (sephadex g-200) 3) peg-6000 (polyethylene glycol) precipitation followed by column chromatography using sephadex g-200. their efficacy was studied in guinea pigs, and the results compared with commercial japanese vaccine (green cr...

Osmolytes and macromolecular crowders have the potential to influence the stability of secondary structure motifs and alter preferences for conserved nucleic acid sequences in vivo. To further understand the cellular function of RNA we observed the effects of a model osmolyte, polyethylene glycol (PEG) 200, and a model macromolecular crowding agent, PEG 8000, on the GAAA tetraloop motif. GAAA t...
