Macromolecules and their properties
Peripheral-nerve barrier and its implications for drug delivery
The PNB can effectively restrict the transport of macromolecules to the peripheral nerve owing to low efficiency of pinocytosis, to an extent comparable to the BBB. In addition, transferrin- or
The Influence of Side-chain Identity and Tacticity on
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are a class of bioplastic polyesters whose properties can be tuned by polymer composition (i.e., side-chain identity) and microstructure (i.e., tacticity). Although
Gas Solubilities in Polymer Melts Using Raman Spectroscopy
The quality and predictive power of bubble growth models developed for physical polymer foaming processes is highly dependent on the thermophysical properties of the corresponding mixtures
Influence of κ-carrageenan/gellan gum ratios on the capsule properties
This study addresses the issue of inadequate mechanical properties in enteric plant-based dropping pill shells prepared using a single gelling agent. Sodium alginate (SA) was used as
Insights into the Alkaline Stability of Poly(arylene
In this study, biphenylene, p -terphenylene, and p -quaterphenylene units with varying rigidity were employed as building blocks for poly (arylene piperidinium)s to systematically assess
Design and Characterization of Hybrid Gelatin/PEGDA
Our findings highlight the synergistic interactions between reversible and irreversible cross-linking mechanisms and their role in modulating the final hydrogel properties. The tunability of this
Protein | Definition, Structure, & Classification
Nonruminant animals, including humans, obtain proteins principally from animals and their products—e.g., meat, milk, and eggs. The seeds of legumes are increasingly being used to prepare inexpensive protein-rich food
Plastics and polymers today, some questions, a particular
Fossile-sourced macromolecules have intrisic properties (mechanical, thermal, aging, solvent resistance, wear resistance, water resistance, tribology, ) that vegetal-sourced polymers do
Hydration and Polyelectrolyte Properties of Polymeric
The antifouling performance of polymeric zwitterions exceeds those of other antifouling coating design strategies and is thought to be related to their strong surface-hydration interactions.
Efficient Prediction of Refractive Index and Abbe Number in
Polymer optical materials are becoming increasingly important in modern technologies owing to their unique properties. This study applies coupled perturbed density functional theory (DFT)
Molecule | Definition, Examples, Structures,
Molecule, a group of two or more atoms that form the smallest identifiable unit into which a pure substance can be divided and still retain the composition and chemical properties of that substance. Learn more about the
Influence of Network Synthesis Strategies on Liquid Crystal
Network synthesis strategies are critical in determining the properties of liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs), making their selection essential for tailoring material performance. This study
Responsive properties and triggered disassembly of
Thus, studying the structure-responsive properties relationship for microgels remains essential to modulate their properties in the bulk and at the interfaces. Nevertheless, such a study is
Lipid | Definition, Structure, Examples, Functions,
Lipid structure Structure and properties of two representative lipids. Both stearic acid (a fatty acid) and phosphatidylcholine (a phospholipid) are composed of chemical groups that form polar "heads" and nonpolar "tails."

Structural and functional properties of beeswax–taro starch
The results demonstrate that the structural and functional properties of bigels based on beeswax and taro starch can be effectively modulated by adjusting the OG:HG ratio. Their high OHC >
The preparation, properties, and applications of polyphenol
Applications of PHs The excellent properties (antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, osteogenic, adhesive, self-healing, and degradable properties) of PHs, have laid the foundation for their
