The information obtained from solvent swelling can be used to characterize
cross-linked structures, to determine solubility parameters (square root of cohesive energy density), molecular weights between
cross-links or
cross-link densities of fossil fuels with
cross-linked macromolecular structures.
Currently, we have the capacity to synthesize mimics of clinically relevant interstrand
cross-links. Of the several novel dimers we have prepared to date, one of them is an analogue of a
cross-link that is formed by hepsulfam.
Li was able to get the best of both worlds by coaxing soy protein to
cross-link with the adhesive's second major ingredient--a proprietary resin known as kymene--in a similar manner to mussel adhesive.
Capture and reporter probes are then added and hybridized to their complementary target sequences, at which time the sample is irradiated with ultraviolet (UV) (3) light to induce the formation of a covalent
cross-link between the probes and target.
In the placebo group, the mean crystallinity ratio increased from 0.92 at baseline to 1.22 after 3 years of treatment; likewise the collagen
cross-link ratio increased from 1.40 to 1.90.
Reference material (RM) 8457, which consists of 0.5 cm cubes of orthopedic-grade ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene that are well suited for measurements of
cross-link density by a new ASTM International swell-test method, has been issued.
"These two new LDPE grades for the
cross-link foaming process are the latest examples from Sabic of such innovative solutions developed together with our customers and value chain partners," concluded Frank de Vries.
At 12 h of pepsin digestion
cross-link native pericardium with GA and DPPA for four different periods exhibited the increasing trend in weight loss with the increase in cross-linking time.
The present paper reports that ultraviolet (UV-C) radiation can provide the necessary energetic input required to
cross-link gelatin, with increased yield in the presence of glucose.
(17) Where progression can be reliably documented, it is important to
cross-link corneas with progressive keratoconus as early as possible.
The PEGDE can
cross-link the CS-CS, SF-SF and SF-CS molecules to obtain the
cross-linked SF/CS blends.
