Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.
AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
The morphology in the solid state of a series of triblock copolymers comprising a poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) midblock and symmetric poly(γ-benzyl-L-glutamate) (PBLG) end blocks has been studied using X-ray scattering and microscopy techniques. Transmissio ...
A new class of water-soluble, amphiphilic star block copolymers with a large number of arms was prepared by sequential atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of n-butyl methacrylate (BMA) and poly-(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (PEGMA). A ...
A review. The ubiquitous use of poly(ethylene glycol) in the biomaterials field has also boosted the research activity in the chem. derivatization of this polymer. We focused our interest on the prepn. of tailor-made poly(ethylene glycol)-based structures ...
The term polymer brush refers to a well defined arrangement of polymer chains, which are tethered with one end to an interface and usually the surface of a solid substrate. Due to steric repulsion the polymer chains furthermore adopt a defined, stretched c ...
Siderophores are natural iron chelators that have been evolutionarily selected to bind to Fe ions with very high binding consts. We utilize these unique properties to bind to metal oxide surfaces using a fragment of the cyanobacterial siderophore anachelin ...
The different steps associated with the curing of a PVAc/polyester blend are identified and correlated to the mechanism of shrinkage control in the presence of a low-profile additive (LPA). Poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) is used as a LPA and is shown to induce ...
Osteoblasts exhibit a more differentiated morphol. on surfaces with rough microtopogs. Surface effects are often mediated through integrins that bind the RGD motif in cell attachment proteins. Here, we tested the hypothesis that modulating access to RGD bi ...
Two novel tetra- and hexahydroxy functionalized perylene chromophores have been used as initiators for the Sn(oct)2 catalyzed ring-opening polymerization of different lactones. The arms of the resulting star polymers were comprised of either crystallizable ...
In tissue engineering, degradable or non-degradable polymer matrices can act as cell-carrier-scaffolds. Cell adhesion and growth on these scaffolds can be promoted by immobilizing extracellular matrix proteins. Therefore, in this study, polymer poly(ethyle ...
Extending the useful life of materials through recycling has proven to be an efficient means of reducing natural resource use and limiting the production of waste. In the case of polymer-based materials, in general, and of packaging materials, in particula ...
