In this concept review, the fundamental and polymerization chemistry of inverse vulcanization for the preparation of statistical and segmented sulfur copolymers, which have been actively developed and advanced in various applications over the past decade is discussed. This concept review delves into a discussion of step-growth polymerization constructs to describe the inverse vulcanization process and discuss prepolymer approaches for the synthesis of segmented sulfur polyurethanes. Furthermore, this concept review discusses the advantages of inverse vulcanization in conjunction with dynamic covalent polymerization and post-polymerization modifications to prepare segmented block copolymers with enhanced thermomechanical and flame retardant properties of these materials. 相似文献
Electron beam induced quantitative X-ray mapping has become a very useful characterisation tool for determining the elemental
distribution in materials, whether using energy dispersive spectroscopy or wavelength dispersive spectroscopy. The X-ray intensity
distributions of the elements from an X-ray map allow us to generate two dimensional and ternary scatter diagrams thus converting
spatial information into concentration dimensions, which is an important tool for displaying the spatial relationships of
elements or correlated elements (phases) in materials. To best understand how to use this tool, we need to understand the
production and features of the scatter diagram. The type of clustering observed in the scatter diagram, whether oval, linear
or spherical, can give the major and trace element distributions within phases as well as qualitative and quantitative phase
information. This paper demonstrates the generation of scatter diagrams, properties of scatter diagrams, interpretation of
scatter diagrams and the advantages of scatter diagrams through the use of examples. 相似文献
As part of a multi-centre European project, FOOD-PCR, the feasibility of a novel approach for production of dried bacterial DNA that could be used as certified reference materials (CRM) was assessed. Selected strains of Salmonella typhimurium, Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli O157, Campylobacter jejuni and Yersinia enterocolitica were used to produce genomic DNA (gDNA). These preparations gave support to method development for qualitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) detection methods for food-borne pathogens. Purified gDNA was transformed into stable and dry gDNA by using polypropylene vials as carrier and applying a vacuum-drying technique. The gDNA preparations were shown to be sufficiently stable under ambient transport conditions without cooling and proved to have long-term stability at 5°C of at least 22 months. The dried DNA was easily reconstituted by addition of distilled water then gentle shaking. These studies have shown that production of stable and dry bacterial gDNA material is feasible and could help satisfy the increasing need for certified reference DNA positive control samples in the field of PCR testing for detection and verification of food-borne microbial pathogens.
Historians have always seen jabr (restoration) and muqābala (confrontation) as technical terms for specific operations in Arabic algebra. This assumption clashes with the fact that the words were used in a variety of contexts. By examining the different uses of jabr, muqābala, ikmāl (completion), and radd (returning) in the worked-out problems of several medieval mathematics texts, we show that they are really nontechnical words used to name the immediate goals of particular steps. We also find that the phrase al-jabr wa'l-muqābala was first used within the solutions of problems to mean al-jabr and/or al-muqābala, and from there it became the name of the art of algebra. 相似文献
We obtain Dirac’s classic monopole charge quantization from the point of view of geometric quantization and demonstrate how this leads to the conclusion that the electromagnetic field is a U(1)-gauge field. 相似文献
We generalize several results on bounded analytic interpolation of Fitzgerald and Horn, which work by majorization by positive
definite kernels, to the cases of several complex variables and operator-valued interpolation. Using a lemma of Kolmogorov,
we complement a simplification due to Szafraniec in the proofs of the theorems.
