Poly(amido amine)s as Gene Delivery Vectors: Effects of Quaternary Nicotinamide Moieties in the Side Chains [PDF]
, 2008 To evaluate the effect of quaternary nicotinamide pendant groups on gene delivery properties, a series of poly(amido amine) (co)polymers were synthesized by Michael addition polymerization of N, N-cystaminebisacrylamide with variable ratios of 1-(4 ...

Interfacial Interaction Enhanced Rheological Behavior in PAM/CTAC/Salt Aqueous Solution—A Coarse-Grained Molecular Dynamics Study [PDF]
, 2020 Interfacial interactions within a multi-phase polymer solution play critical roles in processing control and mass transportation in chemical engineering. However, the understandings of these roles remain unexplored due to the complexity of the system. In

Polymers Pushing Polymers: Polymer Mixtures in Thermodynamic Equilibrium with a Pore [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2012 We investigate polymer partitioning from polymer mixtures into nanometer size cavities by formulating an equation of state for a binary polymer mixture assuming that only one (smaller) of the two polymer components can penetrate the cavity. Deriving the partitioning equilibrium equations and solving them numerically allows us to introduce the concept ...

Hydrodynamics of polymers in an active bath
, 2020 The conformational and dynamical properties of active polymers in solution are determined by the nature of the activity, and the behavior of polymers with self-propelled, active Brownian particle-type monomers differs qualitatively from that of polymers ...

The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2005 Proteins, chain molecules of amino acids, behave in ways which are similar to each other yet quite distinct from standard compact polymers. We demonstrate that the Flory theorem, derived for polymer melts, holds for compact protein native state structures and is not incompatible with the existence of structured building blocks such as α helices and β ...

Ladder polymers for use as high temperature stable resins or coatings [PDF]
, 1990 An object of the invention is to synthesize a new class of ladder and partial ladder polymers. In accordance with the invention, the new class of ladder and partial ladder polymers are synthesized by polymerizing a bis-dienophile with a bis-diene ...

Interaction of cultured human endothelial cells with polymeric surfaces of different wettabilities [PDF]
, 1985 The in vitro interaction of human endothelial cells (HEC) and polymers with different wettabilities in culture medium containing serum was investigated. Optimal adhesion of HEC generally occurred onto moderately wettable polymers.
