Gamma processing of relatively small volumes of materials has historically been handled by either small self-contained irradiators known as gamma-cells for research or by sending this product to a contractor site to be scheduled into the larger processing cycle. This methodology has been accepted over the years due to the lack of a system designed to process this volume level economically at the site of production. A system, which is complete with shield, source, and product handling, has been designed and produced for handling sterilization volumes at 25 kGy in the range of 70,000 cubic feet (2000 cubic meter) annually. This system can be installed in an existing building with a footprint of approximately 170 square feet (15.8 square meter). Larger annual volumes can be handled if the dosage is reduced. Additional to its standard processing capabilities, this system can handle a variety of special process requirements. The mechanism can handle unit loads up to 12 cubic feet (0.34 cubic meter) with a high loading capacity. Specially designed fixtures will allow processing of products with tight maximum to minimum dosing requirements. The system is well suited for small production facilities as well as research and development for production size volumes. 相似文献

Elasticity imaging is a novel domain which is currently gaining significant interest in the medical field. Most inversion techniques are based on the homogeneity assumption, i.e. the local spatial derivatives of the complex-shear modulus are ignored. This analysis presents an analytic approach in order to overcome this limitation, i.e. first order spatial derivatives of the real-part of the complex-shear modulus are taken into account. Resulting distributions in a gauged breast lesion phantom agree very well with the theoretical expectations. An in-vivo example of a cholangiocarcinoma demonstrates that the new approach provides maps of the viscoelastic properties which agree much better with expectations from anatomy. 相似文献

A small-angle light scattering (SALS) apparatus, coupled with a specially designed microfluidic device is shown to monitor the formation and subsequent size distribution of giant multilamellar vesicles of a diblock copolymer in aqueous solution. The closed-face design, fabricated between glass slides using a UV-curable optical adhesive, incorporates multiple inlets, a mixing system, and a viewing window to perform on-line SALS. The mixing of each component is tested using polystyrene latex microspheres. Vesicles of the block copolymer, EO6BO11 in aqueous solution are formed on the SALS chip and the pair distance distribution function determined using an inverse Fourier transformation of the scattered intensity to quantify the population and distribution for a range of vesicle sizes. These experiments provide demonstrations of how SALS on a microfluidic device can be used as a rapid screening tool to optimize processing conditions for a range of polymer solutions. 相似文献

Long-range orientational order in monolayers of brush-like macromolecules was achieved during spreading of a polymer melt on the surface of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite. The combination of wetting-induced flow and epitaxial adsorption of poly(n-butylacrylate) side chains on graphite led to the formation of large domains of uniaxially oriented rodlike molecules. The domain size varied from ca. 1 to 10 microm which is noticeably larger than the submicrometer-sized mosaic domains typically observed upon adsorption from solution. The increase in the degree of order is attributed to the flow-enhanced diffusion of the macromolecules within spreading monolayers which facilitates the epitaxial alignment of the large macromolecules. The diffusion coefficient was shown to increase linearly with the spreading rate. Even though the ordering occurred during flow, no correlation was observed between the molecular orientation and the flow direction. Thus, the role of the flow was not to induce the molecular orientation but to facilitate the intrinsic ordering process. This finding can inspire and lead to new strategies for constructing large scale ordered structures on surfaces. 相似文献

A versatile methodology to prepare hybrid biomaterials by atom transfer radical polymerization from resin-supported peptides has been established. As an example, we have synthesized a GRGDS-functionalized poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate). The peptide-polymer was characterized by solid-state (13)C NMR and GPC and found to have a number average molecular weight of 4420 and a polydispersity of 1.47. These values are comparable to those obtained from solution-phase syntheses, suggesting the ATRP reaction is successful from a peptide-conjugated solid support. Solid-state (13)C NMR was used to characterize multiple steps in the reaction, and the synthesis was found to be near quantitative. We have performed cell adhesion experiments and observed the GRGDS sequence-promoted cell adhesion, whereas unfunctionalized poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) did not. By incorporating cell-signaling moieties in materials with defined molecular architecture, it will be possible to control the interactions between polymeric materials and biological systems. 相似文献

The execution of a titration rarely performed, or of one with a reagent of limited stability, may be facilitated by applying multiparametric curve-fitting to titration-curve data in such a way that the amount of the substance titrated and the concentration of the reagent are evaluated simultaneously; the necessity for prior standardization of the reagent is thereby eliminated. In the potentiometric titration of acetate ion, a very weak base, with unstandardized hydrochloric acid, the accuracy and precision of the concentration of acetate thus obtained are approximately five times better than those which can be secured by titration with standardized acid and location of the point of maximum slope. The accuracy and precision of the concentration of acid are comparable to those that can be secured in very careful standardizations against a primary standard that gives a titration curve of far more favorable shape. 相似文献

Transformation of different living and non‐living polymerization mechanisms to controlled/“living” atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) in order to prepare block and graft copolymers is described. The synthesis and characterization of macroinitiators and the resulting segmented copolymers is discussed. 相似文献

Atom transfer radical polymerization has been used to prepare well-defined vinyl macromonomers of polystyrene using vinyl chloroacetate as an initiator. Because styrene and vinyl chloroacetate do not copolymerize, no branching or incorporation of the initiator into the backbone was observed. Macromonomers of several molecular weights were prepared and copolymerized free radically with N-vinylpyrrolidinone in varying feed ratios in order to produce poly(NVP-g-Sty) graft copolymers. The macromonomers used were of sufficiently high molecular weight to form physical crosslinks in solvents which favor the hydrophilic NVP, such as water, which prevent the copolymer from dissolving and cause it to swell. These materials, therefore, formed hydrogels of swellabilities in water exceeding 95%, depending on the amount of styrene that was incorporated into the copolymer. Limitations of and alternatives to this method are also discussed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 36: 823–830, 1998 相似文献

Absolute-molecular-weight distribution of cylindrical brush molecules were determined using a combination of the Langmuir Blodget (LB) technique and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). The LB technique gives mass density of a monolayer, i.e., mass per unit area, whereas visualization of individual molecules by AFM enables accurate measurements of the molecular density, i.e., number of molecules per unit area. From the ratio of the mass density to the molecular density, one can determine the absolute value for the number average molecular weight. Assuming that the structure of brush molecules is uniform along the backbone, the length distribution should be virtually identical to the molecular weight distribution. Although we used only brush molecules for demonstration purpose, this approach can be applied for a large variety of molecular and colloidal species that can be visualized by a microscopic technique. 相似文献
