Inverse Vulcanisation is a versatile route to the synthesis of high sulfur content polymers. Developments field include expanding variety organic crosslinker molecules that can be used...

A simple mathematical model for the dynamics of network-bundle transitions in actin filaments has been previously proposed and some of its mathematical properties have been described. Other models in this class have since been considered and investigated mathematically. In this paper, we have made the first steps in connecting parameters in the model with biologically measurable quantities such...

Evaluation of Schiff base nanocomposite hydrogels properties using a benzaldehyde multifunctional amphiphilic polyacrylamide crosslinker in conjunction with glycol chitosan.

A simple self-crosslinking strategy, without the needs of a separate crosslinker or a catalyst, is reported here. The crosslinking drastically lowers the water swelling ratio (e.g., 5-10 folds reduction) and provides excellent solvent-resistance. The self-crosslinked membrane (DCL: 5.3%) shows the highest IEC-normalized hydroxide conductivity among all crosslinked HEMs reported.

A strategy involving free radical copolymerization of a difunctional oligomer and a small-molecule crosslinker to give sub-10 nm nanogels is proposed. These nanogels can adapt to surrounding temperatures and regulate the release of a preloaded model anticancer drug 5-fluorouracil.

Omniphobic fluorogel elastomers were prepared by photocuring perfluorinated acrylates and a perfluoropolyether crosslinker. By tuning either the chemical composition or the temperature that control the crystallinity of the resulting polymer chains, a broad range of optical and mechanical properties of the fluorogel can be achieved. After infusing with fluorinated lubricants, the fluorogels show...

Aims The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of 10% sodium ascorbate (SA),10% hesperidin, 1% riboflavin 5-phosphate, collagen cross-linkers, on the pushout bond strength of the fiber resin postluted to the radicular dentin. Materials and Methods Twenty-eight, single-rooted extracted human teeth were collected. The cleaning shaping and obturation was done followed postspace preparation...

A derivative of N(ε)-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-lysine with a photo-reactive diazirinyl group, N(ε)-[((4-(3-(trifluoromethyl)-3H-diazirin-3-yl)benzyl)oxy)carbonyl]-L-lysine, was site-specifically incorporated into target proteins in mammalian cells. The incorporated photo-crosslinker is able to react not only with residues as distant as about 15 Å but also with those in closer proximity, thus enabling...
