Uptake of organic acids byClostridium acetobutylicum B18 under controlled pH and reduced butanol inhibition
Uptake of organic acids byClostridium acetobutylicum B18 was studied at controlled pH and under reduced butanol inhibition conditions. A pervaporative membrane module was placed in the fermentor to remove butanol...

Interactions of a liquid crystalline polymer with polycarbonate and poly(ethylene terephthalate)
Thermal behaviour of blends of a liquid crystalline copoly(ester amide) (Vectra B950) with two isotropic polymers has been studied by differential scanning calorimetry. One of the isotropic polymers is an amor...

Preparation and characterization of natural rubber/silica nanocomposites using rule of similarity in latex
Rule of similarity and latex compounding techniques were combined for the first time to prepare natural rubber/nanosilica (NR/SiO2) nanocomposite with core-shell nanosilica-poly (methyl methacrylate) (SiO2-PMMA) ...
