As demand for advanced polymeric materials increases, post-functionalization has emerged as an effective strategy for ...

Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage the DNA inside cells if they build up. They may play a role in a range of diseases and the visible signs of aging. Antioxidants are another ...

Synthetic polymers play a crucial role in cell biology, serving as delivery vehicles for DNA and drugs, acting as fluorescent probes for cellular sensing, functioning as bioinks for tissue ...

Antioxidants and free radicals. A free radical is an unstable... Vector scientific illustration of antioxidants and free radicals. A free radical is an unstable molecule with unpaired electron.

Abstract: In response to the strict environmental regulations on volatile organic solvents in paints and coatings, high-temperature solution polymerization has increasingly been used to manufacture ...

Polymerization in the SDR is not highly influenced by temperature and the reasons for this will be elaborated in section Modeling Results. The empirical equation confirms the already stated view that ...

Free radicals are waste products of normal metabolism. Cellular mechanisms are usually in place to make sure they do not pile up. This is because the reactive oxygen molecules cause oxidative stress.

Controlled radical polymerization is a means of manufacturing highly branched ... an essential step towards forming branched units. Step-growth and chain-growth mechanisms both feature in SCVP of ...

Scientists do not completely understand the mixed results from the trials or the exact mechanism that makes antioxidants effective or ineffective against free radicals, but according to Wright ...
