We have studied cells on chemically defined monomolecular films of the long-chain alcohol docosanol. Langmuir-Blodgett films of the alcohol were deposited on glass coverslips, previously made hydrophobic with octadecyl groups. This gives films in which the alcohol headgroups face outwards to the water. Molecular orientation and film integrity were shown by a fluorescence adsorption test. Cell c...

Producing high-efficient, low-cost, and green water-based adhesives with enhanced bonding performance still remains highly challenging. In this study, waterborne polyurethane (WPU) adhesive films long-term stability are in situ fabricated on a metal substrate by facile high-efficiency preparation method known as demulsification-induced fast solidification (DIFS). The strength of was constructin...

Abstract The mechanical properties of optically clear adhesive (OCA) films can be anisotropy and viscoelasticity, they are distinguished from conventional linear elasticity hyper‐elasticity. These should considered to analyze the interfacial stress, which plays an important role in evaluating failure a structure containing OCA. Based on well‐designed systematical experiments material's principa...

Mucosa-adhesive gels can be used as a useful mean of delivering drugs to or via mucosal membranes, and in particular buccal mucosa. Carbomers are among the best mucosa-adhesive materials known. The aim of this study was to compare the results obtained from the mucosa-adhesive strength of aqueous gels containing Carbomers, either alone or in combination, to the data obtained from assessing the d...
