Application

Poly(propylene glycol) can be used:
  • As a plasticizer as it does not crystalize, has a low glass transition temperature, and is biocompatible. For example, it can be used in the plasticization of polylactic acid.
  • To prepare the aqueous biphasic system for the recovery of ectoine from Halomonas salina cells.
  • To study the virtual transition from supramolecular polymer(PPG) toconventional polymer(PPO).

We show here that complementary interactions can suppress mesoscopic order and thus lead to a counterintuitive change in material properties. We present results for telechelic supramolecular polymers based on poly(propylene oxide) (PPO), thymine (Thy), and diaminotriazine (DAT). The self-complementary systems

The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare in vitro the decalcifying capability on root canal dentin of 4 different irrigating solutions. Twenty-five freshly extracted maxillary central incisors were selected. The canals were prepared to obtain a total

The designed DNA sequences can make DNA-b-PPO undergo in situ transition between diblock and triblock upon pH changes, consequently, induce a morphology-shifting from spherical micelles to nanofibers. This process is reversible and the assembled structures have been characterized by CD
