The hydraulic performance of pipelines can be significantly affected by the presence of biological growth on internal surfaces. The change in wall roughness brought about by the biofilms has been studied by the use of headloss tests, precleaning and postcleaning of the pipelines in three Tasmanian hydroelectric scheme…

Poly(hydroxyalkanoate)s (PHAs) have attracted much attention as environmentally compatible polymeric materials that can be produced from renewable carbon resources. Biodegradation of PHA materials occurs by the function of extracellular PHA depolymerase secreted from microorganisms. Thus, elucidation of the enzymatic…

Cu 2 S nanocrystals and superlattices were synthesized by a simple solution-phase thermolysis of the copper dodecanethiolate polymer precursor. X-ray diffraction (XRD), selected area electron diffraction (SAED), and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) confirmed the chalcocite crystal structure of…

Abstract The effects of agglomerated versus deagglomerated multiwalled carbon nanotubes on the thermal and mechanical characteristics of polyethylene oxide were studied. The specimens were prepared via solution‐sonication method, using two procedures. In the first procedure, CNT‐PEO solutions were prepared with as‐rec…

Ultrathin polymer brushes play important roles in natural and artificial systems. To better understand and utilize their unique behaviors, characterization is a fundamental, but not trivial, task. In this paper, we demonstrated that the quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) could be applied to study ult…

The properties of amphiphilic block copolymer membranes can be tailored within a wide range of physical parameters. This makes them promising candidates for the development of new (bio)sensors based on solid-supported biomimetic membranes. Here we investigated the interfacial adsorption of polyelectrolyte vesicles on…

Using wood and other natural fibers with thermoplastic materials is always associated with a problem: poor compatibility between wood fibers and thermoplastic matrix. This paper deals with the mentioned problem and tries to solve, or at least ease, it through pre-heat treatment of wood prior to blending of wood fibers…

A hyperbranched aliphatic polyester has been functionalized with PEG chains to afford a novel water-soluble BH40-PEG polymer which exhibits unimolecular micellar properties, and is therefore appropriate for application as a drug-delivery system. The solubility of the anticancer drug paclitaxel was enhanced by a factor…
