Polyethersulfone has been widely used as a promising material in medical applications and waste-treatment membranes since it provides excellent mechanical and thermal properties. Hydrophobicity of polyethersulfone is considered one main disadvantage of using this material because hydrophobic surface causes biofouling effects to the membrane which is always thought to be a serious limitation to ...

A new polyether antibiotic, Ro 21-6150, has been isolated from culture broths of Streptomyces hygroscopicus, strain X-14563. Ro 21-6150 has ionophore properties and is active in vitro against gram-positive bacteria.

This communication describes the total synthesis of the marine polyether toxin, gambierol. This work couples our iterative C-glycoside/enol ether-olefin metathesis strategy to the subunits with a unique olefin metathesis/carbonyl olefination reaction to bring the subunits together.

Synthetic polymers are the cause of some major environmental impacts due to their low degradation rates. Polyurethanes (PU) are widely used synthetic polymers, and their growing use in industry has produced an increase in plastic waste. A commercial polyether-based thermoplastic PU with hydrolytic stability and fungus resistance was only attacked by an entomopathogenic fungus, Metarhiziumanisop...

AIM The aim of the study is to analyze the effect of different materials and techniques in current use on peripheral shaping of complete denture impression. METHODS The present study was conducted to compare and evaluate the maxillary border morphology produced using tissue conditioner as control and low fusing impression compound, Polyether, Pattern resin and periphery wax as border molding ...

The Amphoteric Fatliquor (AF) was prepared by rapeseed oil, 1, 2-ethylenediamine and acrylic acid. An amphoteric fatliquor (SAF) modified with silicon was synthesized by using AF and polyether silicon with stirring and ultrasonic treatment. AF and SAF were measured by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetry (TGA), emulsifying capacity, emulsification stability and emul...

OBJECTIVES This study was planned to evaluate the dimensional stability of elastomers during cold sterilization or immersion disinfection and also to evaluate the same, along with acrylic resin trays which are used in clinical practice. MATERIALS AND METHODS A study mold according to revised American Dental Association. Specification no. 19 was used. Polyether, polyvinyl siloxane (PVS) (heavy...
