    Shu and coworkers combined previous bipolar transport polymer blend work in white EL. They adjusted the narrow-band gap monomer content of the copolymer, and synthesized molecular dispersed white EL polymer (37), with color coordinates (0.30, 0.36) and luminous efficiency 3.9 cd A-1. Shim et al doped a small amount of orange chromophore BPCVB into the main chain of polyfluorene to get poly{9,9-bis-(4-octyloxy-phenyl)-fl uorene-2,7-diyl-co-3,7-bis(1-cyanovinyl-3-phenothienyl)-1-(2 -ethylhexyloxy)-

    CARBON SOURCE The lignocellulosic hydrolysate will be prepared by the National Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (BIOTECH, UPLB) from sweet sorghum bagasse subjected to pretreatment followed by sulfuric acid (0.75 wt% and pH 1.1) hydrolysis at 100∘C. BACTERIAL STRAIN Cupriavidus necator is a bacterial strain that is commonly used in accumulating poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB), the most common type of PHA. It is most effective when the amount of carbon source present is in excess

    Polymers have been changing the way we live for over 100 years. Their availability and diverse qualities ensure that they are always in high demand, and new polymers are always being discovered. Where does this leave the now commonplace polymers which once were ubiquitous in commerce? Polymers such as polyoxybenzylmethylenglycolanhydride (Bakelite) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) were first synthesised in 1907 and 1938 respectively, making them old by polymer standards. Although the original polymer

    A polymer is a large molecule built up from numerous smaller molecules. These large molecules may be linear, slightly branched, or highly interconnected. In the latter case the structure develops into a large three-dimensional network. The small molecules used as the basic building blocks for these large molecules are known as monomers. For example, the commercially important material polyvinylchloride is made from the monomer vinyl chloride. The repeat unit in the monomer usually corresponds to

    the physical and chemical properties of the resultant microcapsules/microspheres. The polymer should be capable of forming a film that is cohesive with the core material. It should be chemically compatible, non-reactive with the core material and provide the desired coating properties such as strength, flexibility, impermeability, optical properties and stability. Generally hydrophilic polymers, hydrophobic polymers or combination of both are used for the microencapsulation

    the year 1937 saw the advent of PMMA which replaced vulcanite as it had enhanced properties (Machado et al., 2007). It also was less expensive than vulcanite and aesthetically more pleasing. From then on, PMMA has been in use. Recently, additional polymers such as nylons, vinyl acrylic and light activated urethane dimethymethcarylate have been evaluated for use as denture base materials (Diaz-Arnold et al., 2008). Even if these materials do exhibit very capable properties, none of them have been deemed

    Introduction Cancer disease is one the most complicated fatal disease which scientists are looking for methods to either stop or cure this malady (Hook, Ptak, Farrell, Hinkal, Panaro and Grodzinski, 2010). Based on the cancer overlook disease, the cells are transformed and infected to cancer after a while and it starts to metastasize and proliferate (ibid). The cardinal issue is that how cancer may occur based on transformation of cells and genes. To illustrate that question, there are two factors

    soon became manufactured. Kevlar soon became used in body armor all over the world and is still seen being used today. Kevlar is constructed of manmade fibers known as aramids. It belongs to a class of polymers. The polymers work just like gauze, but at a microscopic level. The basic unit of a polymer is a chain. Each one of the chains is made of millions of “monomers” that are linked to each other by chemical bonds. The monomers are long and rod-like. With Kevlar, the monomers link with there own

    Vishesh Kumar Period 2 November, 4th, 2016 CHS Problem Statement What is the stress strain behavior of various plastic products made by the synthetic polymer polyethene? Hypothesis If the polyethyne plastics have a composition of more carbon, it will be able to take more stress with less side effects. The more carbon will make the plastics stronger The Varibales The dependant variable is the way that the stress is measured or the affects that the materials have after
