Squalene has been used as a model compound for the investigation of sulphur crosslink in the vulcanization process. The effects of the accelerator on the crosslink were deduced from the sulfur K-edge absorption spectra. The majority of the crosslinks for the squalene vulcanized with ZDEC or TMTD is likely disulfidic, while that vulcanized with CBS or MBTS is monosulfidic.
We synthesized two polyimides (PIs), poly(4,4′-(9,9-fluorenyl) diphenylene cyclobutanyltetracarboximide) and poly(4,4′-(9,9-fluorenyl) diphenylene pyromellitimide), and investigated in detail the surface morphology,...

We synthesized two polyimides (PIs), poly(4,4′-(9,9-fluorenyl) diphenylene cyclobutanyltetracarboximide) and poly(4,4′-(9,9-fluorenyl) diphenylene pyromellitimide), and investigated in detail the surface morphology, molecular orientation, and nematic liquid crystal alignments of rubbed PI films. This study found that both the PIs are promising alignment layer materials for the fabrication of advanced LC display devices.

Solution small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) is an effective technique for measuring structure and structural difference of protein under various environments, quantitatively. Structural characteristics of various conformational states of porcine pepsin were studied in terms of size and shape under several pH conditions by solution SAXS. Under nearly physiologically enzymatic active conditions, the reconstructed models exhibit a more extended C-terminal domain, when compare to the crystal structure. The structural differences between solution and crystal structure of pepsin can be accounted for the inherent conformations of the flexible subdomain in the C-terminal domain in solution under carefully controlled specific pH conditions. Furthermore, this flexibility may provide a clue that lead to the solution of enzymatic inactivity of pepsin under mild acidic conditions. The structural evidences presented may have important implication in establishing relationship between the structure of porcine pepsin and its enzymatic function.
