Synthesis of functional star-shaped polymers and self-assembled polymer nanoparticles via organocatalyzed living radical polymerization by Zheng, Yichao

“…Exploiting the high encapsulation capacity of core-crosslinked star polymers, we prepared a PMMA–PTHFA star polymer via the “one-pot” synthesis, where PTHFA is poly(tetrahydrofurfuryl acrylate), and used it to encapsulate a small molecule UV absorber (UVA) at high loading. Thin films prepared by mixing UVA encapsulated star polymers with PMMA matrix achieved 100% UV protection, and retained high transparency, as well. …”

Impact of bdellovibrio-and-like organisms (BALOs) on mixed species biofilm communities by Feng, Shugeng

“…These results also suggest that the mechanism by which O. anthropi is protected is not a diffusible molecule, but is more likely cell associated. To further explore the role of biofilm based predation protection and feeding preference, mixed species communities with high density (> 3500 OTUs) represented by floccular or granular sludge were exposed to the predator and alterations in biomass, viability and community composition were quantified. …”

The role of macrophages in early phases of type 2 diabetes mellitus by Gunaseelan, Divya

“…To this end, a recent report showed that a small molecule drug, I-BET151, which is a bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET) protein inhibitor, can perform dual function i.e. to modulate macrophages to adopt an anti-inflammatory phenotype and also aid in pancreatic β-cell regeneration and was then subsequently found to be particularly effective against type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) development in non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice. …”

Assessment of atmospheric corrosivity on metals and its mitigation by green corrosion inhibitors in the Klang Valley, Malaysia by Binyehmed, Fadel Mohamed M.Ali

“…The adsorption of these inhibitors onto the tested metals obeyed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm, while the adsorption of molecule inhibitors followed the Temkin isotherm. From the values of the standard free energy of adsorption, ΔGads, it can be observed that the adsorption process on the tested metal surface was spontaneous adsorption, and the enthalpy of adsorption ΔHads showed that GCE acted as physical adsorption and the others performed as chemical adsorption, but the relationship between inhibition efficiency and temperatures proved that some extracts could perform chemical and physical adsorption, which was further proven via the Temkin isotherm. …”
