The thickness of concrete coating on a large-diameter offshore pipeline may be up to eight times the wall thickness of its steel pipe, requiring that its effects on the stiffness, stresses, and ...

Bubbles created by pressurized water can directed at surfaces and trigger cavitation, the continued creation and collapse of bubbles. The addition of an ultrasonic transducer helps reinforce this ...

Ethanolic solutions of long-chain carboxylic acids can be applied to lead metal substrates to form a coating of lead carboxylate which provides protection against atmospheric pollutants. In this paper ...

Life originates from water. Hydrogels--hydrophilic polymer network swelling in water--resembles the original form of life, the algae and bacterium. In the modern life, hydrogels are ubiquitous in ...

Researchers have developed a novel method of adding polyethylene glycol molecules to engineered groups of messenger RNAs called 'mRNA polyplexes', which enable the cells that receive them to produce ...

The benefits of solvent-free processes and techniques specifically optimized for coating new dosage forms such as orally disintegrating granules are reviewed. Tablets and capsules are often coated for ...
