The kinetics of solution polymerization to synthesize poly(p‐phenylene terephthalamide), a
rodlike polymer, was studied theoretically and experimentally. The reaction was conducted …

Polymerization of rigid rodlike molecules with reactive end groups requires near parallel
orientation of the molecules. The reaction is diffusion limited because of the low mobility of the …

Polymerization of rigid rodlike molecules with reactive end groups (eg, poly(p-phenylene
terephthalamide)) requires near parallel orientation of the molecules. The reaction becomes …

There are only a few dozen top life science venture capital (VC) funds yet no formal study to
our knowledge has evaluated what differentiates the firms or investing styles. We attempt to …

Wikinomics and The Wisdom of Crowds identified the phenomena of emerging social networks,
but they do not confront how businesses can profit from the wisdom of crowds. WE ARE …

Recent technological developments allow all the genes of a species to be monitored
simultaneously at the transcriptional level. This necessitates a more global approach to biology that …

… This analysis has been performed by Geoff Meyerson and Ameya Agge on the basis of over
100 interviews of VC firms in the US. Results clearly demonstrates that overall c. 65% of all …

Chemical reactions are often carried out under mixing, especially at an industrial scale.
Mixing aims to homogenize the concentrations and temperatures of reactants over a whole …

Rigid rod-like (RRL) polymers are capable of forming liquid crystalline solution or melts, and
have high performance characteristics such as excellent heat resistance, superior tensile …
