Compositional Determination of Vinyl Acetate/Vinyl Benzoate Copolymer by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy [PDF]
Relating polymer structure to its performance properties is a primary motivation for determining the structure of a polymer chain. If a polymer chain is completely characterized and the structural basis of its properties is known, one can optimize and ...

Soft Listeria: actin-based propulsion of liquid drops [PDF]
We study the motion of oil drops propelled by actin polymerization in cell extracts. Drops deform and acquire a pear-like shape under the action of the elastic stresses exerted by the actin comet.
