Aqueous biphasic systems (ABS) or aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) are clean alternatives for traditional organic-water solvent extraction systems.. ABS are formed when either two polymers, one polymer and one kosmotropic salt, or two salts (one chaotropic salt and the other a kosmotropic salt) are mixed at appropriate concentrations or at a particular temperature.
Stridor (from Latin 'creaking/grating noise') is an extra-thoracic high-pitched breath sound resulting from turbulent air flow in the larynx or lower in the bronchial tree. It is different from a stertor, which is a noise originating in the pharynx. Stridor is a physical sign which is caused by a narrowed or obstructed airway.
Biphasic mixtures consisting of two immiscible phases are very common and usually consist of an organic solvent and an aqueous phase ("oil and water"). Multiphasic liquids can be used for selective liquid–liquid extractions or for decorative purposes, e.g. in cosmetics .
This glossary of chemistry terms is a list of terms and definitions relevant to chemistry, including chemical laws, diagrams and formulae, laboratory tools, glassware, and equipment. Chemistry is a physical science concerned with the composition, structure, and properties of matter , as well as the changes it undergoes during chemical reactions ...
A hydrogel is a biphasic material, a mixture of porous and permeable solids and at least 10% of water or other interstitial fluid. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The solid phase is a water insoluble three dimensional network of polymers , having absorbed a large amount of water or biological fluids.
Biphasic, meaning having two phases, may refer to: Phase (matter) , in the physical sciences, a biphasic system, e.g. one involving liquid water and steam Biphasic sleep , a nap or siesta in addition to the usual sleep episode at night
Interfacial polymerization (then termed "interfacial polycondensation") was first discovered by Emerson L. Wittbecker and Paul W. Morgan in 1959 as an alternative to the typically high-temperature and low-pressure melt polymerization technique. [3]
TPPTS was first synthesized in 1975 by E.G Kuntz who was an engineer at Rhône-Poulenc with the aim of carrying out a two-phase homogeneous catalysis in which the aqueous phase catalyst could be easily separated from the reaction products and recycled. [4]
