EFFECT OF PREPARATION METHOD ON THE ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF PVC/CARBON NANOTUBES NANOCOMPOSITES

Effect of Preparation Method on the Electrical and Mechanical Properties of PVC/Carbon Nanotubes Nanocomposites

The biggest challenge for the development of carbon nanotubes polymeric nanocomposites is in the suitable dispersion and distribution of the nanometric particles along the polymer matrix.Several preparation methods have been used to obtain nanocomposites, highlighting the mixture with polymer solution followed by solvent evaporation and the hot com

Characterization of testis-specific serine/threonine kinase 1-like (TSSK1-like) gene and expression patterns in diploid and triploid Pacific abalone (Haliotis discus hannai; Gastropoda; Mollusca) males.

Testis-specific serine/threonine kinase 1-like (TSSK1-like), which plays important roles in late-phase spermatogenesis and male fertility, was characterized in Pacific abalone Haliotis discus hannai, an important commercial marine gastropod.Further, its expression patterns were assessed in diploid and induced triploid males showing differential deg

Subversion of the Immune Response by Human Pathogenic Mycoplasmas

Mycoplasmas are a large group of prokaryotes which is believed to be originated from Gram-positive bacteria via degenerative evolution, and mainly capable of causing a wide range of human and animal infections.Although innate immunity and adaptive immunity play crucial roles in preventing mycoplasma infection, immune response that ps5 price winnipe

Exercise-induced oxidative stress: Friend or foe?

The first report demonstrating that prolonged endurance exercise promotes oxidative stress in humans was published more than 4 decades ago.Since this discovery, many ensuing investigations have corroborated the fact that muscular exercise increases the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and results in oxidative stress in numerous tissues i
