Radiation cross-linking gives inexpensive commodity plastics and technical plastics the mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties of high-performance plastic. This upgrading of the plastics enables them to be used in conditions which they would not be able to with stand otherwise. The irradiation cross-linking of thermoplastic materials via electron beam or cobalt 60 (gammy rays) is performed separately, after processing. Generally, ionizing radiation includes accelerated electrons, gamma rays and X-rays. Radiation processing with an electron beam offers several distinct advantages when compared with other radiation sources, particularly γ-rays and x-rays. The process is very fast, clean and can be controlled with much precision. There is no permanent radioactivity since the machine can be switched off. In contrast to γ-rays and x-rays, the electron beam can steered relatively easily, thus allowing irradiation of a variety of physical shapes. The energy-rich beta rays trigger chemical reactions in the plastics which results in networking of molecules (comparable to the vulcanization of rubbers which has been in industrial use for so long). The energy from the rays is absorbed by the material and cleavage of chemical bonds takes place. This releases free radicals which in next phase from desired molecular bonds. This article describes the effect of radiation cross-linking on the surface and adhesive properties of low-density polyethylene.

Post Modification

Widespread applications of nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO)-based processes for water purification and desalination call for high-performance thin-film composite (TFC) membranes. In this work, a novel and facile modification method was proposed to fabricate high-performance thin-film composite nanofiltration membrane by introducing Ca2+ in the heat post-treatment. The introduction of Ca2+ induced in situ Ca2+-carboxyl intra-bridging, leading to the embedment of Ca2+ in the polyamide (PA) layer. This post modification enhanced the hydrophilicity and surface charge of NF membranes compared to the pristine membrane. More interestingly, the modified membrane had more nodules and exhibited rougher morphology. Such changes brought by the addition of Ca2+ enabled the significant increase of water permeability (increasing from 17.9 L·m−2·h−1·bar−1 to 29.8 L·m−2·h−1·bar−1) while maintaining a high selectivity (Na2SO4 rejection rate of 98.0%). Furthermore, the intra-bridging between calcium and carboxyl imparted the NF membranes with evident antifouling properties, exhibiting milder permeability decline of 4.2% (compared to 16.7% of NF-control) during filtration of sodium alginate solution. The results highlight the potential of using Ca2+-carboxyl intra-bridging post-treatment to fabricate high-performance TFC membranes for water purification and desalination.

The core–shell structure composite magnetic nanoparticles (NPs), Fe3O4@chitosan@nimodipine (Fe3O4@CS@NMDP), were successfully synthesized by a chemical cross-linking method in this paper. NMDP is widely used for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease prevention and treatment, while CS is of biocompatibility. The composite particles were characterized by an X-ray diffractometer (XRD), a Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), a transmission electron microscopy (TEM), a vibrating sample magnetometers (VSM) and a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The results show that the size of the core–shell structure composite particles is ranging from 12[Formula: see text]nm to 20[Formula: see text]nm and the coating thickness of NMDP is about 2[Formula: see text]nm. The saturation magnetization of core–shell composite NPs is 46.7[Formula: see text]emu/g, which indicates a good potential application for treating cancer by magnetic target delivery. The release percentage of the NMDP can reach 57.6% in a short time of 20[Formula: see text]min in the PBS, and to 100% in a time of 60[Formula: see text]min, which indicates the availability of Fe3O4@CS@NMDP composite NPs for targeting delivery treatment.

Abstract Fibrinogen Paris I contains a mutant gamma chain that is longer than the normal chain, resulting in altered fibrin polymerization and cross- linking. Because these functions involve the carboxy-terminal region of the gamma chain, we decided to determine whether fibrinogen Paris I or the isolated Paris I gamma chain supports normal ADP-induced platelet aggregation, a function that requires the ultimate 12 residues of the normal gamma chain (400 through 411). Aggregation of ADP-stimulated normal platelets was defective with fibrinogen Paris I and markedly depressed with the gamma Paris I chain. These findings prompted us to characterize the carboxy-terminal structure of the region of the gamma Paris I chain responsible for this activity. The carboxy-terminal cyanogen bromide (CNBr) peptide of the normal gamma chain (385 through 411) or that from gamma Paris I was isolated by differential adsorption to triethylene-tetramine resin or by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The CNBr peptide from the Paris I gamma chain was identical to that of the normal gamma chain in its retention time on HPLC, its amino acid composition, and its sequence. Thus, the primary structure of the gamma Paris I chain from residue 384 through 411 is normal, indicating that a peptide insertion has occurred upstream from residue 384, resulting in an impairment of those physiologic functions attributable to the carboxy-terminal end of the gamma chain from position 384 (ie, cross-linking, ADP-induced platelet aggregation, and at least a portion of the gamma chain polymerization site). These observations demonstrate that the gamma chain platelet recognition site in the fibrinogen molecule is necessary but not alone sufficient to support normal ADP-induced platelet aggregation. There appears to be an additional requirement for normal conformation of the gamma chain or availability of its terminal sequence during the interaction of fibrinogen with platelets.
