A convenient route to organogels templated by high internal phase emulsions has been developed. Key is the use of a waterborne polymer latex loaded with a multiple hydrogen bond (MHB) functionality that becomes disentangled and transfers across the oil-water interface forming a gel network in the oil phase via hydrogen bond interactions.

In dynamic force spectroscopy, a (bio-)molecular complex is subjected to a steadily increasing force until the chemical bond breaks. Repeating the same experiment many times results in a broad distribution of rupture forces, whose quantitative interpretation represents a formidable theoretical challenge. In this study we address the situation that more than a single molecular bond is involved i...

partial replacement of formaldehyde with furfural in the urea-formaldehyde resin on the formaldehydeemission, physical and mechanical properties of particleboard was investigated. the modulus ofrupture (mor), modulus of elasticity (moe), internal bond (ib), water absorption (wa), thicknessswelling (ts) and formaldehyde emission (fe) of poplar particleboards made with the modifiedresins were mea...

An algorithm is presented for the representation of macromolecular structures in terms of internal parameters (bond lengths, bond angles and dihedral angles). The algorithm ensures maintenance of data integrity and constancy when converting to and from a Cartesian representation. It is hoped that this algorithm will lead to large repositories of macromolecular strucure (including the PDB) being...

A formamide molecule is allowed to form a CH O H-bond with a glycine dipeptide in both its C5 and C7 internal conformations. As this intermolecular H-bond is elongated, the contraction of the CAH covalent bond is monitored, as is its vibrational stretching frequency and intensity, along with NMR chemical shifts of the atoms involved in the H-bond. The degree of shortening of the CAH bond become...
