Dual Covalent Cross-Linking Networks in Polynorbornene: Comparison of Shape Memory Performance.

In this work, tetrakis(dimethyllamino)ethylene (TDAE) plasticized polynorbornene (PNB) was used as the matrix, sulfur (S) and dicumyl peroxide (DCP) were simultaneously used as crosslinking agents to construct dual covalent cross-linking networks in PNB. The effects of different amounts of cross-linkers on the crosslinking degree, mechanical property, glass transition temperature, and PNB shape memory performance were investigated. Two crosslinking mechanisms were examined by Fourier transform infrared spectrometer and Raman spectrometer.

Novel Protein Sequence Comparison Method Based on Transition Probability Graph and Information Entropy.

Aim And Objective: Aim and Objective: Sequence analysis is one of the foundations in bioinformatics. It is widely used to find out the feature metrics hidden in the sequence. Otherwise, the graphical representation of the biologic sequence is an important tool for sequencing analysis.
