Bicontinuous liquid crystals.1574444492 Bicontinuous liquid crystals. Ed. by Matthew L. Lynch, Patrick T. Spicer. CRC (Cyclical Redundancy Checking) An error checking technique used to ensure the accuracy of transmitting digital data. The transmitted messages are divided into predetermined lengths which, used as dividends, are divided by a fixed divisor. Press 2005 477 pages $159.95 Hardcover Surfactant Surfactant Definition Surfactant is a complex naturally occurring substance made of six lipids (fats) and four proteins that is produced in the lungs. It can also be manufactured synthetically. science series; 127 QD923 An overview of the properties of bicontinuous liquid crystal structures and their applications, including controlled release, materials development, fabrication fabrication (fab´rikā´sh  n),n the construction or making of a restoration. , processing, polymerization polymerization Any process in which monomers combine chemically to produce a polymer. The monomer molecules—which in the polymer usually number from at least 100 to many thousands—may or may not all be the same. , protein crystallization Crystallization The formation of a solid from a solution, melt, vapor, or a different solid phase. Crystallization from solution is an important industrial operation because of the large number of materials marketed as crystalline particles. , membrane fusion, and treatment of human skin. The text considers the cubic, mesh, ribbon, and sponge equilibrium phases, with detailed discussion of the physical chemistry, properties, and structural characteristics of each. It interrelates the most useful analytical methods for the characterization of the behavior and stability of liquid crystalline phases based on structure, geometry, composition-dependent changes, temperature, dispersion, and other factors. Of interest to chemical and biological engineers, molecular biologists, physical chemists, bioscientists, and biotechnologists. ([c] 2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR) |
