Maleopimaric acid (MPA) can be used for polymer materials as a rosin derivative. In this study, rosin-based waterborne polyurethane (RWPU) was prepared with different content of maleopimaric acid polyester polyol (MAPP), which was synthesized from MPA. The properties of RWPU were studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and differential scann...

It has been explained previously how using large dimensional signal-subspaces can reduce/eliminate bias in the estimated fMRI response (Burock and Dale [2000]: Hum Brain Mapp 11:249-260). It has also been explained how one can project this less biased estimate onto a one-dimensional subspace of interest (Burock and Dale [2000]: Hum Brain Mapp 11:249-260). In cases where there are multiple, corr...

AbstracG-Crystal morphology of thermoplastics is known to be strongly influenced by the presence of solid suhstrntes like fibers or fillers. For wood, this interphase development is govemed by the chemical composition of the thermoplastic and substrate. The crystallization of PP/MAPP blends WBS observed using polarized light microscopy and quantified using DSC and DM.4. Techniques are presented...

Bu çalışmada, polipropilen (PP)/poliamid 6 (PA6) karışımlarında kullanılan kemik külü ve uyumlaştırıcı olarak maleik anhidrit aşılı (MAPP) katkısının kompozitlerin mekanik ayrıca tribolojik özellikleri üzerindeki etkileri araştırılmıştır. Kemik tozu özellikle gıda sektöründe atık bir malzeme karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Polimer matrisli kompozitlerde değerlendirilmesi petrol bazlı içeriğin azaltılmas...

Increased sympathetic nervous activity (SNA) elevates venomotor tone in deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt hypertension. We studied the mechanisms by which the SNA increases venomotor tone in DOCA-salt hypertension by making in situ intracellular recordings of venous smooth muscle cell (VSMC) membrane potential (E(m)) and measurement of outside diameter (OD) in mesenteric veins (MV) and me...
