Mathematical Characterization of Thermo-reversible Phase Transitions of Agarose Gels
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2018)
The thermal phase transition temperatures of high (HMP) and low melting point (LMP) agarose gels were investigated by using UV-vis spectroscopy techniques. Transmitted light intensities from the gel samples with different ...
Surfactant and Metal Ion Effects on the Mechanical Properties of Alginate Hydrogels
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2016)
This paper addresses the controlled variation of the mechanical properties of alginate gel beads by changing the alginate concentration or by adding different surfactants or cross-linking cations. Alginate beads containing ...
Thermal Phase Transitions of Agarose in Various Compositions: A Fluorescence Study
(Springer/Plenum Publishers, 2011)
The effect of agarose content on thermal phase transitions of the agarose gels was investigated by using Steady State Fluorescence (SSF) method. Scattered light I(sc) and fluorescence intensity I(fl) were monitored against ...
The Role of Pyranine in Characterization of PAAm-kappa C Composites by Using Fluorescence Technique
(Springer/Plenum Publishers, 2011)
Polyacrylamide (PAAm) doped by kappa-carrageenan (kappa C) gels were prepared with various amounts of kappa C varying in the range between 0 wt.% and 3 wt.%. Steady-state fluorescence (SSF) technique was employed for ...
Study of Film Formation From PS Latex/TiO2 NanocompositesEffect of Latex Size and TiO2 Content
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2014)
In this work we investigated the film formation from polystyrene (PS) latex/TiO2 nanocomposites using the steady state fluorescence (SSF) and UV-vis (UVV) techniques depending on PS particle size and TiO2 content. The ...
Gelation of PAAm-PVP composites: A fluorescence study
(World Scientific, 2014)
Hybrid hydrogels are a new class of composite materials. Polyacrylamide (PAAm) hydrogels are mainly produced by free radical crosslinking copolymerization (FCC) of AAm in the presence of N N'-methylene bis (acrylamide) ...
The modifier effects of chymotrypsin and trypsin enzymes on fluorescence lifetime distribution of "N-(1-pyrenyl)maleimide-bovine serum albumin" complex
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science LTD, 2016)
Chymotrypsin and trypsin are the well known proteolytic enzymes, both of which are synthesized in the pancreas as their precursors the inactive forms; chymotrypsinogen and trypsinogen and then are released into the duodenum ...
Application of epidemic models to phase transitions
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2012)
The Susceptible-Infected-Recovered (SIR) and Susceptible-Exposed-Infected-Recovered (SEIR) models describe the spread of epidemics in a society. In the typical case, the ratio of the susceptible individuals fall from a ...
Sorption and Desorption of PVA-Pyrene Chains in and out of Agarose Gel
(Springer/Plenum Publishers, 2012)
In situ steady-state fluorescence (SSF) measurement technique was applied to investigation of pyrene labeled Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA-Py) molecules diffusion in and out of agarose gels. Gel samples with four different ...
Mathematical models for phase transitions in biogels
(World Scientific Publ Co Pte Ltd, 2019)
It has been shown that reversible and irreversible phase transitions of biogels can be represented by epidemic models. The irreversible chemical sol-gel transitions are modeled by the Susceptible-Exposed-Infected-Removed ...
