POLYMER INDUSTRY [9 records]

Record 1 2017-10-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Biotechnology
  • Molecular Biology
CONT

DNA chips are manufactured through a highly scalable process, called very large-scale immobilized polymer synthesis(VLSIPS), that combines photolithographic technologies adapted from the semiconductor industry with combinatorial chemistry.

Key term(s)
  • very-large scale immobilised polymer synthesis

French

Domaine(s)
  • Biotechnologie
  • Biologie moléculaire
CONT

Le but : synthétiser et sélectionner des produits en parallèle. Pour ce faire, [une] entreprise a mis au point une microplaquette d'un centimètre carré sur laquelle elle peut synthétiser et sélectionner 65 000 composés en 48 heures. À l'aide d'un mécanisme précis commandé par ordinateur, qui manœuvre un masque au-dessus de la plaquette, et de substances chimiques sensibles à la lumière, les ingénieurs peuvent déposer des nucléotides en plusieurs couches sur une grille. [...] À l'étape finale de la sélection, la plaquette est exposée à la molécule «cible» pour laquelle l'activité est recherchée et, lorsque la plaquette est frappée par un rayon laser, un marqueur spécial sensible à la lumière indique quels médicaments candidats se sont fixés le plus fortement lorsque la plaquette est frappée par un rayon laser. La technique, qui est en fait une synthèse sur polymère immobilisé à très grande échelle, est idéale pour stocker et extraire des données dans la banque du projet de génome humain [...]

Subject field(s)
  • Chemical Elements and Compounds
  • Hair Styling
CONT

A texture analyzer was employed to study the properties of hairspray resins by measuring a number of mechanical parameters of hair modified by them. Hairset stiffness, stiffness retention at high humidity, and duration and magnitude of polymer film tackiness during drying were the properties employed to characterize fixative-treated hair. They were investigated for formulations containing ethyl ester of PVM/MA copolymer, butyl ester of PVM/MA copolymer, vinyl caprolactam/PVP/dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate copolymer, VA/butyl maleate/isobornyl acrylate copolymer, and polymer blends such as poly(methylvinylether) (PMVE) - ethyl ester of PVM/MA copolymer.

CONT

Omnirez [trademark] 2000 Polymer is a new Ethyl Ester of PVM/MA copolymer developed to meet the challenges of today's hair fixative industry. It is soluble in 55% VOC systems and anhydrous products.

Subject field(s)
  • Food Industries
CONT

Amylose, the predominant gel-forming polymer in starch, produces stronger, relatively thermal stable gels. Because the amylose molecule is linear, it can form strong intra-and intermolecular networks "High-amylose starches are commercially used in mainly three areas : the cereal industry, confectionery and coating area, "says Neil Grimwood, director of marketing and technical services of a starch supplier's food division.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Industrie de l'alimentation
CONT

À l'origine de cette innovation : les mathématiques appliquées aux sciences pharmaceutiques et l'étude chimique de l'amylose réticulé. «Ces deux axes de recherche ont aidé à mieux comprendre l'action des polymères, signale Louis Cartilier. Et cela a joué un rôle important dans le processus de la découverte des possibilités de l'amylose réticulé, une matrice polymère dérivée de l'amidon à haute teneur en amylose», déclare le professeur.

The box and interior divider shall be made from single process continuously extruded, fluted polypropylene-ethylene copolymer.

OBS

Polypropylene is an extremely versatile material in the packaging industry.... Polymers made up only of propylene are called homopolymers. If another monomer is added(typically ethylene), the polymer is called a copolymer.

CONT

Transmissivity of a drainage net as a function of hydraulic gradient and compressive stresses: (a) the net is between two geomembranes; (b) the net is between a geomembrane and a heat-bonded non-woven geotextile ... .

OBS

The term fin drain is given to this form of composite geotextile drain because the water conducting sheet is generally in the form of a fin projecting upwards from a pipe. The fin drain sheet itself is formed from a water conducting core backed with a geotextile filter on either one or both sides. Geotextile mats, nets, and waffled plastic sheets (sometimes called geospacers) may be used as the core material ... .

OBS

Geotextile nets consist of two sets of roughly round polymer strands that cross at a constant angle to give very open geotextile with large diamond or rectangle shaped apertures. This mesh-like appearance led to the term "mesh" being initially applied to this type of geotextile before the industry standardized on the term "net".... This form of geotextile is mainly used as either comparatively low strength soil reinforcement or as the core material in a fin drain geotextile composite....

Couche drainante : Couche constituée de matériau perméable mise en place derrière un ouvrage (mur enterré, soutènement) ou sous un ouvrage (radier, dallage, route, barrage) pour faciliter l'écoulement de l'eau du sol et éviter en particulier sa mise en pression. Synonyme : tapis drainant, matelas drainant.
