Metastable liquid-liquid and solid-liquid phase boundaries in polymer-solvent-nonsolvent systems [PDF]
, 1997 In general liquid-liquid demixing processes are responsible for the porous morphology of membranes obtained by immersion precipitation. For rapidly crystallizing polymers, solid-liquid demixing processes also generate porous morphologies.

Protein Crystallization in a Microfluidic Contactor with Nafion®117 Membranes
Membranes, 2021 Protein crystallization still remains mostly an empirical science, as the production of crystals with the required quality for X-ray analysis is dependent on the intensive screening of the best protein crystallization and crystal’s derivatization ...

Insertion of T4-lysozyme (T4L) can be a useful tool for studying olfactory-related GPCRs. [PDF]
, 2012 The detergents used to solubilize GPCRs can make crystal growth the rate-limiting step in determining their structure. The Kobilka laboratory showed that insertion of T4-lysozyme (T4L) in the 3rd intracellular loop is a promising strategy towards ...

Structural and electrical properties of gold nanowires/P(VDF-TrFE) nanocomposites [PDF]
, 2010 High aspect ratio gold nanowires were uniformly dispersed into a poly(vinylidene difluoride–trifluoroethylene) [P(VDF-TrFE)] matrix. The nanowires were synthesized by electrodeposition using nanoporous anodic alumina oxide templates.
