Structured Fluids: Polymers, Colloids, Surfactants - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Thomas A. Witten, Philip A. Pincus خلاصه: Over the last thirty years, the study of liquids containing polymers, surfactants, or colloidal particles has developed from a loose assembly of facts into a coherent discipline with substantial predictive power. These liquids expand our conception of what condensed matter can do. Such structured-fluid phenomena dominate the physical environment within living cells. This book teaches how to think of these fluids from a unified point of view showing the far-reaching effects of thermal fluctuations in producing forces and motions. Keeping mathematics to a minimum, the book seeks the simplest explanations that account for the distinctive scaling properties of these fluids. An example is the growth of viscosity of a polymer solution as the cube of the molecular weight of the constituent polymers. Another is the hydrodynamic radius of a colloidal aggregate, which remains comparable to its geometrical radius even though the density of particles in the aggregate becomes arbitrarily small. The book aims for a simplicity, unity and depth not found in previous treatments, and includes numerous figures, tables and problems. It will be an ideal textbook for teaching undergraduates in physical science how to understand soft matter, but will also be of interest to industrial scientists, who want to gain a broader understanding of soft matter systems

نویسندگان: Shalaby W. Shalaby, Karen J.L. Burg خلاصه: Egyptians sutured wounds as early as 3500 B.C. using a variety of natural polymers including treated intestines, which are the early versions of collagen-based surgical gut sutures.1 Synthetic, absorbable polyesters based on 2-hydroxyacetic acids were developed for preparing less tissue reactive alternatives to surgical gut sutures in the early 1970s. In addition to collagenbased polymers, other natural, absorbable polymers, such as albumin, chitosan, and hyaluronic acid and derivatives thereof have been used for many pharmaceutical and biomedical applications for several decades.2 Of these polymers, the application of chitosan and hyaluronic acid–based polymers has received a great deal of attention in the past 15 years for use in controlled drug delivery systems, tissue repair, tissue engineering, and controlling certain biological events.

Handbook of Industrial Water Soluble Polymers - Original PDF
Handbook of Industrial Water Soluble Polymers - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Peter A. Williams خلاصه: Natural and synthetic water soluble polymers are used in a wide range of familiar industrial and consumer products, including coatings and inks, papers, adhesives, cosmetics and personal care products. They perform a variety of functions without which these products would be significantly more expensive, less effective or both.Written for research, development and formulation chemists, technologists and engineers at graduate level and beyond in the fine and specialty chemicals, polymers, food and pharmaceutical industries, the Handbook of Industrial Water Soluble Polymers deals specifically with the functional properties of both natural and synthetic water soluble polymers. By taking a function based approach, rather than a "polymer specific" approach the book illustrates how polymer structure leads to effect, and shows how different polymer types can be employed to achieve appropriate product properties.
Synthetic Polymers for Biotechnology and Medicine - Original PDF
Synthetic Polymers for Biotechnology and Medicine - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Ruth Freitag خلاصه: One of the most powerful group of chemicals in the body are organic compounds collectively referred to as hormones. The glands responsible for the production and release of hormones comprise the endocrine system. Endocrine activities have been identified in certain organs, such as the heart, kidneys, duodenum, liver and the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas (which contains the insulin gland), which are normally associated with other system functions. There have been numerous attempts to replace organ function using cell transplantation including direct injections of dissociated cells into organs such as the liver, kidney or spleen.1-5 Subcutaneous and intraperitoneal routes have also been evaluated.6-10 More recent investigations have applied extracellular matrix polymers as structural supports for cell transplantation and immunoprotection.11,12 Potential medical applications of such “artificial cells” or “tissue engineered” organoids include an extracorporeal bioartificial liver for detoxification,2 artificial red blood substitutes,13 the extracorporeal artificial kidney for hemodialysis,14 immunosorbents15 and drug delivery systems.16The transplantation of immunoisolated (microencapsulated) cells represents another emerging area in biotechnology research and commercialization. Under such a scenario, the encapsulated cells, which could be a xenograft, would be hidden from the immune system of the body, but would still be able to respond to extracellular stimuli (e.g., blood glucose), with the required hormone, in the case of diabetes therapy insulin, secreted into the systemic circulation. Other applications of the microencapsulation concept include the encapsulation of genetically modified cells, which represents a novel approach to somatic gene therapy.17 This chapter will review recent advances in cell encapsulation from material science, technological and tissue-related perspectives. Cell coating, microencapsulation devices and bioartificial organs will be discussed with the artificial pancreas and treatment of diabetes used as a case study denominator throughout the review.
Nanocomposites of Polymers and Inorganic Particles - Original PDF
Nanocomposites of Polymers and Inorganic Particles - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Caseri W. خلاصه: This chapter deals with composites comprised of polymers and inorganic nanoparticles of rather uniform shape. Such composites are attributed to the class of nanocomposites because of the small size of the embedded particles, while the polymer phase is continuous. The attribution of particles to the class of nanoparticles is somewhat arbitrary; often particles of dimensions up to 50–100 nm are assigned to this notion, and expressions such as nanosized particles, colloids, or, occasionally, ultrafine particles are also used to designate particles as nanoparticles. The small size of the incorporated particles can induce materials properties which differ from those of related composites containing larger particles, for example, as a result of an extremely large interface area, which can readily amount to 107–109 m2 in a cube meter of nanocomposite, or a markedly reduced scattering of visible light. The latter is important if transparent or translucent materials are required for optical applications. This intensity loss of transmitted light by scattering can be estimated with the equation

Adhesives, Sealants, and Coatings for Space and Harsh Environments - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Lieng-Huang Lee (auth.), Lieng-Huang Lee (eds.) خلاصه: New technologies constantly generate new demands for exotic materials to be used in severe environments. The rapid developments of aerospace industries during the last two decades have required new materials to survive extreme high and low temperatures and various radiations. The exploration of new energy sources, e.g., solar and geothermal, has led us to develop new solar collectors and geothermal devices. Even the search for new oils has demanded that we study the corrosive environment of oil fields. In the telecommunication industries, optical fibers have been adopted broadly to replace metallic conductors. However, none of the optical fibers can survive abrasion or corrosion without the application of a coating material. For microelectronics, protection in terms of coatings and encapsulants is deemed necessary to prevent corrosion. One of the major causes of corrosion has been shown to be water which appears to be abundant in our earthly environments. Water can attack the bulk adhesive (or sealant), the interface, or the adherend. Water can also cause delamination of coating film, and it is definitely the major ingredient in causing cathodic or anodic corrosion. Thus, water becomes the major obstacle in solving durability problems of various materials in harsh environments.
Microbiology Handbook: Dairy Products - Original PDF
Microbiology Handbook: Dairy Products - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Rhea Fernandes (Editor) خلاصه: Milk and dairy products form a central part of the human diet, as they are rich in nutrients. On the other hand, because of their high nutrient value, they favour rapid microbial growth. In some cases, this microbial growth is beneficial, while in others it is undesirable. Dairy products may be contaminated with pathogens or microbial toxins; therefore, the microbiology of these products is of key interest to those in the dairy industry. 'Microbiology Handbook - Dairy Products' provides readers with an easy-to-use reference to microorganisms found in milk and dairy products. The handbook covers: initial microflora; sources of contamination; effects of processing on the survival and growth of microorganisms; spoilage; and hazards identified with the consumption of these products.
