background and objectives: making stacking gels for polyacrylamide gels in the laboratory by conventional methods is laborious and time consuming. considering the role of temperature in polyacrylamide gels with respect to electrical resistance and viscosity, we assumed that decreasing the temperature would cause an increase in electrical resistance and viscosity.  ultimately, a downward tempera...

The behavior of tethered polymers on gel/gel adhesion is studied with the single-chain mean-field ~SCMF! theory. It is shown that the gel surface structure, the gel/gel adhesion strength, the equilibrium gel/gel distance, and the detailed interface structures can be tailored by specifically designed tethered layers on gel surfaces. The SCMF theory allows to study the effect of various variables...

high purity lead titanate nanopowders in tetragonal form have been successfully prepared bycitric acid gel method using lead nitrate and tetra-n-butyl titanate as pb and ti sourcesrespectively and citric acid as complexing reagent. the precursors were calcined at varioustemperatures ranging from 450 °c to 600 °c for 2 h. fourier transform infraredspectroscopy (ft-ir), x-ray diffraction (xrd) an...

introduction: multiple fields and presence of heterogeneities create complex dose distributions that need three dimensional dosimetry. in this work, we investigated mr-based magic gel dosimetry as a three-dimensional dosimetry technique to measure the delivered dose to bladder and rectum in prostate radiation therapy. materials and methods: a heterogeneous slab phantom including bones was made....
