New polymeric compositions for nonflammable and thermally stable foams
(1992)
There is a great need to develop new polymer foam systems that combine the advantages of polyurethane foams (low cost, ease of processing, desirable physical properties) with nonflammability and thermal stability which ...
A LOCAL COMPOSITION MODEL FOR LIQUID MIXTURE SHEAR VISCOSITY
(1984)
A predictive local composition model for multicomponent liquid mixture shear viscosity has been developed based on the Eyring and NRTL local composition models. Only binary equilibrium thermodynamic information is used in ...
Shear stress effects on cultured hybridoma cells in a rotational couette viscometer
(1989)
Cells growing in stirred bioreactors exist in a complex fluid mechanical environment. A number of forces act on the cells in the reactor, including fluid shear stresses. If agitation is sufficiently rapid, these forces may ...
Molecular modeling of microstructure and thermodynamics of bulk and inhomogeneous polymer systems
(2009)
Modeling of thermodynamics and microstructure of polymer systems is important in their production, processing, and applications. Success in modeling these systems is contingent upon the ability of the molecular model to ...
PHYSICOCHEMICAL INTERACTIONS BETWEEN MONTMORILLONITE AND POLYMERIZING SYSTEMS: EFFECT ON PARTICLE-REINFORCED COMPOSITES (CONCRETE, ZERO-SHRINKAGE, EXPANDABLE)
(1986)
Highly filled polymer composites, such as polymer concrete (PC), suffer from setting stresses generated during the cure of the resin binder, when polymerization shrinkage is hindered by the close packing of filler and ...
AN IMPROVED HARD SPHERE EXPANSION CONFORMAL SOLUTION THEORY TO PREDICT VAPOR LIQUID EQUILIBRIA
(1986)
The HSE (Hard Sphere Expansion) theory calculates the thermodynamic properties of a mixture by separating its properties into contributions from molecular repulsion, which are calculated directly from a hard sphere mixture ...
Characterization of T-lymphocyte-target cell adhesion using a parallel plate flow chamber
(1989)
A 100 fold range of shear stress (.04-4 dynes/cm$\sp2$) was used to demonstrate that the level of shear used in conjugate enumeration assays affects the absolute magnitude of CTL-TC conjugates observed. Kinetic analysis ...
GROWTH DYNAMICS AND CARBON-SUBSTRATE OXIDATION AND INCORPORATION PATTERNS OF METHYLOMONAS L3 (METHYLOTROPHS, CARBON METABOLISMS, DYNAMIC BEHAVIOR, GROWTH MODEL, MIXED-SUBSTRATE CULTURES)
(1985)
The Ribulose Monophosphate-type (RuMP), obligate methanol-utilizing bacterium Methylomonas L3 has been used in the study of methylotrophic metabolism and fermentation dynamics.
The dynamic behavior of M. L3 in continuous ...
Thermodynamic stability and phase behavior of asphaltenes in oil and of other highly asymmetric mixtures
(2003)
Asphaltenes are the polydisperse fraction of heavy organics from petroleum whose phase behavior is important in petroleum production and processing because of its potential to precipitate and plug tubulars.
The molecular ...
2D timelapse and 3D fluorescence microscopy with applications to vascular tissue engineering
(1998)
Part of the definition given to the new emerging science discipline of tissue engineering is the understanding of the structure-function relationships at the cellular level. In this context it is important for vascular ...
