Happy Saturday! I hope you are well and haven't caught any of these nasty cold bugs that are doing the rounds at the moment. I can report that I have finally manage to catch a head cold and I'm feeling rather sorry for myself....it's that or I am rather allergic to all this work lark!
So, you may have noticed in the blog post title that this week I have a masculine card for you today.....and some of you might know how this theme is not my favourite! I find it really hard to get excited about masculine cards. However, with this new challenge at Sweet Stampin I decided to put my best foot forward and try and enjoy the experience.
I actually surprised myself with this creation and enjoyed being challenged....
I went with a green and brown colour combo to go with my golf themed card....I even got a bit creative with a toothpick to make my sentiment! My image is coloured with my Promarkers and I have added a little faux stitching. I am really pleased with the end results and actually enjoyed making this masculine card! Maybe its all those polka dots (they look a bit like golf balls I think!)
I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:
Papertake Weekly - It's All New - the sentiment is new to me
For more inspiration for our masculine challenge this week pop by the Sweet Stampin challenge blog and take a peek at all the fab DT cards. While you're there you can also take a peek at our fab sponsor this week....
Thanks for popping by today,

34-year-old Richard Thomason from London, who visited the event last year, said, "The Cheltenham Festival is without a doubt one of the best events on the sporting calendar, but last year's festival proved to be a real headache for me and my friends. We got stuck in the most horrendous traffic and we missed some of the races. We all said after last year's experiences that should we re-visit the festival we would certainly consider a helicopter charter service as it is so much cheaper than you would expect."
Running from Tuesday March 15th until Friday March 18th, the festival will attract nearly 250,000 people over the week with an astonishing £600 million being wagered on the outcome of 26 races. This year's event is set to make inroads on last year's event with a total prize fund of nearly £4 million.
But catching a helicopter to a horse-racing festival? To some, it might sound a little extreme but like Richard, it seems people do not realise how affordable it could be. Atlas Helicopters specialise in private helicopter hire and provide this service to people attending sporting events, such as the Cheltenham Festival.
Mike Burns, Chief Executive and a pilot at Atlas Helicopters, says, "There is often a misconception that helicopter flights are extremely expensive, but many are realising that this is not the case at all. By the time you have paid your fuel costs, driven miles and started to look rather dishevelled as you arrive at your destination, you could have arrived feeling cool, calm and collected without the worry of missing any of the day's action due to traffic."
Atlas Helicopters will have a luxurious fleet four AS355 Twin Squirrel's and one Bell 206L LongRanger, on hand to take all those avid racing fans to one of this year's biggest events, so what are you waiting for? Call Atlas Helicopters now on 0800 328 0432 for a no obligation quote, and get your slice of the VIP lifestyle.

One successful example of using ERβ as a drug target has proven the receptor as an effective cancer cell combatant in breast cancer tissue. Closer examination of human breast cancer cell lines determined that, while ERα alone may stimulate the development of tumors, the combined presence of ERα and ERβ reduced and prevented tumor development.
"These modulators are well-established in the treatment of breast cancer and osteoporosis," Gustafsson said. "We now are pushing the limits of their influence to develop new treatments and ultimately save lives."
CNRCS researchers continue to examine the two estrogen receptor subtypes in various animal disease models, focused on identifying therapeutic opportunities. ERβ remains the most likely target for expanding treatments beyond breast cancer. The widespread involvement of ERβ presents the greatest probability for impacting these other diseases. Early results indicate that the selective activation of ERβ may represent a safe, disease-modifying therapy for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

ABSTRACT: Antibacterial activity against Gram-negative bacteria of polypyrrole-coated fabrics has been demonstrated in the past. In this work, biocidal efficacy of polypyrrole has been evaluated against Gram-positive bacteria on textiles with different polypyrrole loading. Excellent bacterial reduction (≥99%) was found on cotton fabrics containing more than ∼9 wt % of polypyrrole. Polypyrrole loading can be greatly reduced in presence of silver. Silver-containing fabrics used in this work alone does not guarantee a complete biocidal effect, but the addition of just 2 wt % of polypyrrole showed a bacteria reduction of 99%. Moreover, stability to different washing procedures of the antibacterial activity was evaluated. Fabrics were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, and infrared spectroscopy. Stability of the coating was assessed by abrasion tests. PPy showed excellent fastness to abrasion. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2015, 132, 41670.Journal of Applied Polymer Science 11/2015; - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: By adjusting the molar ratios of antistatic monomer of octyl phenol ethylene oxide acrylate (denoted as AS), rigid monomer of methyl methacrylate (denoted as MMA), and flame-retardant monomer of 2-(phosphoryloxymethyl oxyethylene) acrylate (denoted as FR), a series of flame-retardant antistatic copolymers poly (octyl phenol ethylene oxide acrylate-co-methyl methacrylate-co-phosphoryloxymethyl oxyethylene acrylate) (donated as AMF) were synthesized through radical polymerization. Among the obtained copolymers, two copolymers, AMF162 (the feed molar ratio of AS, MMA, and FR as 1 : 6 : 2) and AMF1104 (the feed molar ratio of AS, MMA, and FR as 1 : 10 : 4) with different concentrations were added into polypropylene (PP) to prepare PP-AMF162 and PP-AMF1104 series of composites. The thermal stability, limiting oxygen index, the antistatic property, and mechanical properties of PP composites were tested and analyzed. PP-AMF162 series composites have excellent antistatic effect. When the AMF162 content was equal to or <15 wt %, the impact strength of PP-AMF162 composites was higher than that of pure PP. The results indicated that copolymer AMF162 was a suitable flame-retardant and antistatic additive for PP. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

ABSTRACT: To improve the flowability of waxy crude oil containing a high concentration of asphaltenes (AS), novel comb-type copolymers of poly(maleic acid polyethylene glycol ester-co--octadecene) (PMAC) and poly(maleic acid aniline amide-co--octadecene) (AMAC) with various grafting ratios (Rg) of PEG/aniline to maleic anhydride are synthesized. Model oils containing wax mixtures and AS are prepared to explore the effect of asphaltene concentration and the copolymers on the yield stress. The influence of the copolymers on the wax appearance temperature (WAT) of Liaohe high waxy oil is examined by rheological and microscopic methods. Experimental flow curves of shear stress as a function of shear rate are fitted following the Casson model to interpret the rheological properties of gelled waxy crude oil in the presence of AMACs, PMACs, and MAC. Compared with MAC, PMACs, and AMACs are more efficient in reducing the yield stress of both model oil and crude oil, which indicates a better flowability. It is found that PMAC1.0 and AMAC1.0 with a medium Rg can balance the interaction of copolymers with waxes and AS and reduce the yield stress much more than others. Between them, AMAC1.0 that possesses aromatic pendants is better than PMAC1.0, which only has polar pendants. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

ABSTRACT: A novel method of grafting styrene onto linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) by suspension polymerization was systematically evaluated. Cyclohexane as a compatibilizer was introduced to swell and activate the surface of LLDPE molecular chain for amplifying the contact point of styrene monomer with LLDPE. A series of copolymer of grafting polystyrene (PS) onto LLDPE, known as LLDPE-g-PS, were prepared with different ratios of cyclohexane/styrene monomer and various LLDPE dosages. FTIR and 1H NMR techniques both confirmed successful PS grafting onto the LLDPE chains. In addition, SEM images of LLDPE-g-PS particles showed that the cross-section morphology becomes smooth and dense with suitable cyclohexane dosages, indicating a better compatibility between LLDPE and PS. The highest grafting efficiency was 28.4% at 10 mL/g cyclohexane and styrene monomer when 8% LLDPE was added. In these conditions, the LLDPE-g-PS elongation at break increased by about 30 times compared with PS. Moreover, thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) demonstrated that LLDPE-g-PS possesses much higher thermal stability than pure PS. Therefore, the optimal amount of cyclohexane as compatibilizer could increase the grafting efficiency and improve the toughness of PS. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

Article: Influence of the coagulation medium on the performance of poly(ether sulfone) flat-sheet membranes
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Poly(ether sulfone) flat-sheet membranes were fabricated via phase inversion with different nonsolvent mixtures. The effect of the nonsolvent water with the addition of various amounts of ethanol, acetone, or isopropyl alcohol on the membrane morphology (as measured with scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy) and the filtration performance were investigated. For the statistical evaluation of the fabrication process, on average, six membranes were produced. The pure water flux (PWF) and macromolecule retention were determined via filtration experiments. The presence of coagulation additives resulted in modified precipitation kinetics and thermodynamics, yielded different membrane structures, and therefore, influenced the performance. The results show that the addition of ethanol, acetone, and isopropyl alcohol in low concentrations (up to 10%) to water led to an increasing PWF. Higher concentrations led to a decrease in PWF. For high concentrations (>30%), a change in the membrane morphology from fingerlike to spongelike structures was expected, and this was experimentally proven for the case of ethanol. One main finding was the similarity of the influence of the used additives on the membrane performance. This was to be expected from Flory–Huggins theory for additives with high water miscibility; hence, under these circumstances, entropic and not energetic reasoning dominated the phase-inversion process. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

ABSTRACT: In this study the modification of a hyperbranched polyester polyol of second generation (HBP2G) with polylactic acid (PLA) was carried out. The proportions employed of PLA were: 10 (HBP2G90), 25 (HBP2G75), 40 (HBP2G60), and 55 wt % (HBP2G45). The materials obtained were characterized by acid value, hydroxyl value, infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), chromatography exclusion size (SEC), dynamic light scattering, thermogravimetric, differential scanning calorimetry, and rheology analyses. The analyses of the acid values and hydroxyl values showed that the reaction between HBP2G and PLA occurred. The greater modification degree was 92.00%. The NMR spectrum shows that evidently the PLA was grafted onto the HBP2G. The SEC analysis revealed that all samples presented values of average molecular weight (Mn) and weight average molecular weight (Mw) higher than the HBP2G. The thermal stability of the materials increased with respect to HBP2G and it was independent of the modification degree. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

ABSTRACT: Novel composite film was synthesized by TiO2 doping into phosphomolybdic acid (PMoA)/polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) system. The influence of TiO2 doping on its microstructure and photochromic properties was investigated via atomic force microscopy, transmission electron microscope, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), ultraviolet–visible spectra, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). After TiO2 doping, the surface of TiO2/PMoA/PVP composite film changed to rough from smooth, and the particle size significantly increased. The FT-IR results verified that the basic structure of PMoA and PVP were not destroyed in the composite films. The non-bonded interaction between the acid and polymer was strengthened by TiO2 doping. Irradiated with UV light, composite films changed from colorless to blue. The TiO2/PMoA/PVP composite film exhibited a strong photochromic effect and faster bleaching reaction than that of PMoA/PVP film. XPS results indicated that the amount of PMoA in photo-reductive reaction was increased after TiO2 doping, which resulted in the photochromic efficiencies enhanced. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J.

ABSTRACT: In the present study, an attempt has been made to improve cell supportive property of chitosan/nano beta tri-calcium phosphate (β-TCP) composite scaffolds by modification of scaffold surface with fibrin using ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodimide (EDC) as crosslinking agent. The developed fibrin conjugated chitosan/nano β-TCP composite scaffolds possess desired pore size and porosity in the range of 45–151 µm and 81.4 ± 4.1%, respectively. No significant change in compressive strength of scaffolds was observed before and after fibrin conjugation. The calculated compressive strength of fibrin conjugated and non-conjugated chitosan/nano β-TCP scaffolds are 2.71 ± 0.14 MPa and 2.67 ± 0.11 MPa, respectively. Results of cell culture study have further shown an enhanced cell attachment, cell number, proliferation, differentiation, and mineralization on fibrin conjugated chitosan/nano β-TCP scaffold. The uniform cell distribution over the scaffold surface and cell infiltration into the scaffold pores were assessed by confocal laser scanning microscopy. Furthermore, higher expression of osteogenic specific genes such as bone sialo protein, osteonectin, alkaline phosphatase, and osteocalcin (OC) on fibrin conjugated scaffolds was observed when compared to scaffolds without fibrin. Altogether, results indicate the potentiality of developed fibrin conjugated composite scaffolds for bone tissue engineering applications. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

ABSTRACT: This article presents an experimental study aiming to explore the relationship among rheological properties, flow characteristics in porous media, and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) performance of three typical EOR polymers. The results suggest that xanthan gum exhibits a very pronounced shear-thinning behavior, which is probably also the reason explaining its moderate adsorption extent within porous media (thickness of adsorbed layer, e = 3.1 μm). The advanced viscoelastic properties coupled with the less adsorption extent compared to the hydrophobically modified copolymer (HMSPAM) allow xanthan gum to establish a "piston-like" displacement pattern and lead up to 49.4% original oil in place (OOIP) of the cumulative oil recovery during polymer flooding. Regarding HMSPAM, the significant permeability reduction of the porous media induced by multilayer adsorption (e = 5.6 μm) results in much higher drive forces (ΔP) in the extended waterflooding stage, which further raises the cumulative oil recovery by 18.5% OOIP. In general, xanthan gum and HMSPAM totally produced 84% OOIP which is 15% higher than the extensively used EOR polymer, hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM), under the same experimental conditions. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Article: Synthesis and structure control of l-lactic acid–glycolic acid copolymer by homo-copolymerization
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A two-step direct melt copolymerization process of l-lactic acid (L-LA)/glycolic acid (GA) was developed: poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA) and poly(glycolic acid) (PGA) with different molecular weight was first synthesized respectively by binary catalyst (tin chloride/p-toluenesulfonic or tin chloride); and then poly(l-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (b-PLGA) was produced by melt polymerization of the as-prepared PLLA and PGA, wherein the composition and chain structure of b-PLGA copolymers could be controlled by the molecular weight of PLLA. The chain structure and thermal properties of copolymers were studied by Wide-angle X-ray diffraction, nuclear magnetic resonance, differential scanning calorimetry, and thermogravimetric analysis. In comparison with the random PLGA (r-PLGA) synthesized by one-step direct melt polymerization, the average l-lactic blocks length (LLA) in b-PLGA was longer while the average glycolic blocks length (LGA) in b-PLGA was shorter which further resulted in the improved crystallinity and thermostability. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

ABSTRACT: A series of thermally stable lanthanum organic montmorillonites (La-OMMTs) were successfully prepared by modifying Na-MMT with anionic surfactants and lanthanum chloride. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction indicated that the anionic surfactants resided in the interlayer spaces and expanded the MMT basal spacing from 1.23 nm to 3.3 nm. Thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA) results showed that the intercalation of sodium dodecyl sulfonate into the lanthanum organic MMT resulted in its excellent thermal stability. The use of the La-OMMT samples in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resins was tested, and the TG/DTG results revealed that the three La-OMMTs could significantly enhance the thermal stability of PVC. The modified La-OMMT with the highest thermal stability is expected to be useful in polymer/layered silicate nanocomposites. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

ABSTRACT: A novel silicone-containing macromolecular charring agent (Si-MCA) was synthesized via polycondensation, and it was combined with ammonium polyphosphate (APP) to flame retard polypropylene (PP). The results showed that Si-MCA exhibited a good synergistic effect with APP in flame retardant PP. When the content of APP was 18.7 wt % and Si-MCA was 6.3 wt %, the limiting oxygen index value of the PP/APP/Si-MCA composite was 33.5%, and the vertical burning (UL 94) test classed a V-0 rating. The peak heat release rate, total heat release, average mass loss rate, and total smoke production of the composite were also decreased significantly. Moreover, the PP/APP/Si-MCA composite showed an outstanding water resistance. After soaking in 70°C water for 168 h, the PP/APP/Si-MCA composite could still reach a UL 94 V-0 rating at 20.0 wt % IFR loading, whereas the PP/APP/PER composite failed to pass the UL 94 test even at 25.0 wt % IFR loading. Thermogravimetric analysis, thermogravimetry-Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, and scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry results revealed that a compact and thermostable intumescent char was formed by APP/Si-MCA during burning, thus effectively improved the flame retardancy of PP. The possible synergistic mechanism between APP and Si-MCA was also discussed. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

ABSTRACT: During hemodialysis bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in contaminated dialysate solution may translocate across the hollow fiber membrane (HFM) to a patient's blood, resulting in fever and possible systemic shock. This study investigates LPS transfer across, and adsorption within, native and modified Fresenius Optiflux® F200NRe polysulfone (PS)/polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) HFMs. Modifications include varied PVP content, addition of a PS-poly(ethylene glycol) copolymer (PS-PEG), and bleach sterilization. Under clinically relevant flow conditions LPS from >400 EU mL−1 spiked dialysate is not detected (<0.1 EU mL−1) in the lumens of native fibers, but is detected to varying degrees (0.2–15 EU mL−1) in the lumens of the modified fibers. Fluorescently labeled LPS predominantly adsorbs near the lumen of all membranes except the PS-PEG containing membrane, where LPS localizes on the outer wall. Thus, addition of PS-PEG may entrap LPS in the HFM spongy matrix, away from the blood-contacting fiber lumen. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

ABSTRACT: Anion exchange membranes (AEM) are solid polymer electrolytes that facilitate ion transport in fuel cells. In this study, a polystyrene-b-poly(vinylbenzyl trimethylammonium) diblock copolymer was evaluated as potential AEM and compared with the equivalent homopolymer blend. The diblock had a 92% conversion of reactive sites with an IEC of 1.72 ± 0.05 mmol g−1, while the blend had a 43% conversion for an IEC of 0.80 ± 0.03 mmol g−1. At 50°C and 95% relative humidity, the chloride conductivity of the diblock was higher, 24–33 mS cm−1, compared with the blend, 1–6 mS cm−1. The diblock displayed phase separation on the length scale of 100 nm, while the blend displayed microphase separation (∼10 μm). Mechanical characterization of films from 40 to 90 microns thick found that elasticity and elongation decreased with the addition of cations to the films. At humidified conditions, water acted as a plasticizer to increase film elasticity and elongation. While the polystyrene-based diblock displayed sufficient ionic conductivity, the films' mechanical properties require improvement, i.e., greater elasticity and strength, before use in fuel cells. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

ABSTRACT: The effect of enzyme-catalyzed modification of poly(ethersulfone) (PES) on the adhesion and biofilm formation of two Listeria monocytogenes strains is evaluated under static and dynamic flow conditions. PES has been modified with gallic acid, ferulic acid and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid. The surfaces modified with any of these compounds show up to 70% reduced adhesion of L. monocytogenes under static conditions and up to 95% under dynamic flow conditions compared with unmodified surfaces. Also, under static conditions the formation of biofilms is reduced by ∼70%. These results indicate that the brush structures that are formed by the polymers on the PES surface directly influence the ability of microorganisms to interact with the surface, thereby reducing attachment and biofilm formation of L. monocytogenes. Based on these results, it is expected that enzyme-catalyzed surface modification is a promising tool to reduce microbial adhesion and biofilm formation. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl.

Article: Kinetics of drug release from drug carrier of polymer/TiO2 nanotubes composite—pH dependent study
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This study was to investigate the kinetics of drug release from polymer/TiO2 nanotubes composite. Lidocaine and carprofen were selected as model drugs to represent weak base and weak acid drugs, respectively. Mathematical models used to fit the in vitro drug release experimental data indicate that at higher pH, the drug release was first order diffusion controlled. At lower pH, the release of the two drugs exhibits two staged controlled release mechanism. The first phase is due to drug diffusion and the second stage is a result of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) polymer degradation. The rate of drug release from polymer/TiO2 nanotubes drug carrier was mainly controlled by three pH dependent factors: the solubility of the drug, the degree of polymer swelling/degradation, and the electrostatic force between polymer and drug. This study suggests that controlled release could be achieved for polymer/TiO2 nanotubes drug carrier via the modulation of pKa values of polymers and drug solubility. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

ABSTRACT: This article describes the preparation and characterization of hybrid materials obtained from the polymerization of vinyl-substituted zirconium oxo-clusters [Zr6O4(OH)4(OOCCH2CHCH2)12(n-PrOH)]2·4(CH2CHCH2COOH) (Zr12) and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA). The zirconium oxo-clusters serve as cross-linking agents, forming a 3D network by means of the copolymerization of their vinylic ligands with HEMA. To optimize the conditions for cross-linking, the polymerization was monitored with a differential scanning calorimeter. The resulting hybrid materials were also characterized using thermo-mechanical techniques. There was evidence not only of a greater rigidity above Tg, but also of a better thermal stability for several hybrid formulations than for simple poly-2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate. After immersion in water, the hybrids containing 20 or 60% w/w zirconium oxo-clusters also showed a stable behavior with an equilibrium swelling at about 27 and 18% w/w of water, respectively. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

ABSTRACT: Hydrophilic surfaces are known to be less prone to fouling. Ultrafiltration membranes are frequently prepared from rather hydrophobic polymers like polysulfone (PSU). Strategies to keep the good pore forming characteristics of PSU, but with improved hydrophilicity are proposed here. PSU functionalized with 1,2,3-triazole ring substituents containing OH groups was successfully synthesized through click chemistry reaction. The structures of the polymers were confirmed using NMR spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). High thermal stability (>280°C) was observed by thermal gravimetric analysis. Elemental analysis showed the presence of nitrogen containing triazole group with different degrees of functionalization (23%, 49%, 56%, and 94%). The glass transition temperature shifted with the introduction of triazole pendant groups from 190°C (unmodified) to 171°C. Ultrafiltration membranes were prepared via phase inversion by immersion in different coagulation baths (NMP/water mixtures with volume ratios from 0/100 to 40/60). The morphologies of these membranes were studied by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). The optimized PSU bearing triazole functions membranes exhibited water permeability up to 187 L m−2 h−1 bar−1, which is 23 times higher than those prepared under the same conditions but with unmodified polysulfone (PSU; 8 L m−2 h−1 bar−1).

ABSTRACT: Thin films composed of semiconducting polymers [poly(2-vinyl naphthalene), poly(4-diphenyl aminostyrene), poly(1-vinyl pyrene), and poly(3-hexyl thiophene-2,5-diyl)], zinc(II)−5,10,15,20-tetra-(2-naphthyl)porphyrin, and [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester blends were prepared to investigate the controlled dispersion of porphyrin molecules in semiconducting polymer thin films. Tailoring the intermolecular interactions between the polymer/fullerene, polymer/porphyrin, and porphyrin/fullerene systems was found to be an effective method of controlling the dispersion. When the polymer/porphyrin interactions were enhanced, intermixed porphyrin/fullerene donor–acceptor complex domains were formed, whereas under conditions where the polymer/porphyrin interactions were weakened, the complex assembled at the borders between the polymer and fullerene phases. This concept could potentially be applied to various combinations of porphyrin/fullerene systems in semiconducting polymer thin films to develop polymer solar cells with excellent performance. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Article: Effects of mixing protocols on impact modified poly(lactic acid) layered silicate nanocomposites
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Poly(lactic acid)/2 wt % organomodified montmorillonite (PLA/OMMT) was toughened by an ethylene-methyl acrylate-glycidyl methacrylate (E-MA-GMA) rubber. The ternary nanocomposites were prepared by melt compounding in a twin screw extruder using four different addition protocols of the components of the nanocomposite and varying the rubber content in the range of 5–20 wt %. It was found that both clay dispersion and morphology were influenced by the blending method as detected by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and observed by TEM and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The XRD results, which were also confirmed by TEM observations, demonstrated that the OMMT dispersed better in PLA than in E-MA-GMA. All formulations exhibited intercalated/partially exfoliated structure with the best clay dispersion achieved when the clay was first mixed with PLA before the rubber was added. According to SEM, the blends were immiscible and exhibited fine dispersion of the rubber in the PLA with differences in the mean particle sizes that depended on the addition order. Balanced stiffness-toughness was observed at 10 wt % rubber content in the compounds without significant sacrifice of the strength. High impact toughness was attained when PLA was first mixed with the clay before the rubber was added, and the highest tensile toughness was obtained when PLA was first compounded with the rubber, and then clay was incorporated into the mixture. Thermal characterization by DSC confirmed the immiscibility of the blends, but in general, the thermal parameters and the degree of crystallinity of the PLA were not affected by the preparation procedure. Both the clay and the rubber decreased the crystallization temperature of the PLA by acting as nucleating agents. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

As long as his timing is off by 12 months or more I will be happy. I don't invest for longer than 12 months unless I stumble onto the next apple, which hasn't happened yet. For him to suggest that video downloads online would ruin the RedBox business of coinstar, he has to be thinking long term. Same thing here with the idea that game makers will bypass the middle man. It may happen eventually, but it won't happen this year, and probably not next year either.

5 ways to turn your hotel room into a gym
5 ways to turn your hotel room into a gym
Even with little time, limited space or minimal motivation, this fitness trainer shows you how to keep an on-the-road workout routine no matter what.
Use chairs for sit squats
Instead of using that hotel room chair as a catchall for your clothes, use it to get your buns in shape with single leg sit squats.
Start by sitting down, extend one leg out, then stand up and sit back down. Repeat this 10 times on one leg then switch and extend the other leg.
"Using one leg at a time where you don't have the other one to help out is a very important part of a workout program. You're going to make sure that leg is doing all the work." Cleary says. "And you really have to engage your core to keep from falling."
Bodyweight workouts are great for getting your core involved, Cleary says, because unlike gym machines that stabilize your core, you aren't being supported by a back rest or seat, so your own body does all the work.
Main muscles worked: Butt, hamstrings, quads.
Turn the bed into a push-up press
If you've already got good upper-body strength, find some floor space for traditional push-ups.
Place your hands on the floor directly beneath your shoulders and keep your body straight as you bend and extend your arms.
If you struggle with basic pushups, try putting your hands on something higher, like the bed, Cleary says. You want to end up doing a push-up in that full body position, so it's better to modify the exercise by using an incline for your hands instead of by placing your knees on the ground.
"When you keep that long straight body, then you get your whole core working," Cleary says. "Start high and as it becomes easier for you, you come down lower and lower and lower until you can get to the floor."
Main muscles worked: Chest, shoulders, triceps, core.
Make space for dynamic lunges
For those with bad knees or any inclination toward avoiding discomfort, lunges often get skipped, though they shouldn't.
Dynamic lunges incorporate jumps. Lunge down bending both knees. Your back knee should come close to the ground, your left thigh parallel to the ground. Jump up as you switch to the have the opposite leg in front.
"Jumping adds in the cardio element, Cleary says. "But if you have bad knees or you're just deconditioned and not up for the jumping, you can just do alternating lunges, either stepping forward or backwards."
The lunge is a great, functional lower body exercise as it mimics walking in a sense, Cleary says.
Main muscles worked: Full lower body.
Take a row
Renegade rows are usually done with dumbbells, but doing the same motion sans weights can still achieve results. If you've got water bottles handy, use them in place of dumbbells for extra weight.
Get into a push-up position. Pretend you're holding a dumbbell and begin to row, supporting yourself on one arm as you lift the other arm to your side, bending your elbow, then switch arms.
Back exercises are the biggest challenge when doing a body weight program because there aren't many options when you're on your own in a hotel room, Cleary says.
"Rows work your back and biceps and since you're down in that push-up position," she says, "You're going to be working your shoulders, your triceps, your core again."
Main muscles worked: Back, biceps, shoulders, triceps, core.
Bang out some burpees
Ah, burpees. The bane of all fitness moves—but an effective all in one exercise.
Place your hands on the ground, kick your legs out into a push-up position, hop your legs in, stand up and jump. If you're just starting out and need time to work up to this level, place your hands on the bed or chair and kick one leg out at a time before returning to standing.
Burpees work "because those high intensity intervals not only burn while you're doing them, they keep your metabolism raised for hours after you stop working," Cleary says. "The trend is really to do things that are more efficient, can burn more calories and can get your metabolism revved up in a shorter amount of time."
Main muscles worked: Full body.

The love for cycling is spreading and becoming evermore apparent in t-shirts. When We Were Kids, an emerging independent apparel site, has dropped a shirt of their own with three different colorways. Their new shirts feature "velovelo" under graphics of a cyclist on the front.

Some tech savvy cyclist came up with a fixed gear calculator that can be downloaded as an iPhone or iPod Touch application via the iPhone App Store. The fixed gear calculator is capable of calculating gear ratios, gain ratios, gear inches, and development – to list a few. The calculator is only offered in English at the moment and requires at least 1MB of disk space on an iPhone running 2.0 software or an iPod Touch. Check out more details here.
The Staples New Era 59FIFTY "Thinking" Cap was not inspired by the fixie movement, rather New Era wanted to promote thoughts. However, their hat defiantly looks fixie affiliated.
New Era's Thinking Hat (or should I say fixie hat) comes in three different styles: A black Fitted cap with yellow gears (or sprockets), a white based hat with red embossing, and a green cap with white embossed graphics. Each fitted hat also comes with a New Era flagship logo, themed the same color as the hat's gears.

Fixie Inc, am international track bike specialist and dealer, has got something new in the fixed gear handlebar category. They call them "Car Scratchers", and you can see why. The unique design of these host pointed ends on both sides. I can just visualize a cyclist on his or her fixie getting even with a few assholes behind their wheels. Thanks for giving us fixed gear riders some sort of defense mechanism Fixie Inc!

Kate Krader (@kkrader on Twitter) is Food & Wine's restaurant editor. When she tells us where to find our culinary heart's desire, we listen up.
Last week we spotlighted outstanding new breweries around the country, from Asheville, North Carolina, to Portland, Oregon. (Sometime soon, Florida microbreweries will get a post all to themselves.) Speaking of Florida, this week, the focus swings to a different type of drinking establishment. It's spring break, which of course means you can find yourself in the kind of bar that Bill Hader's Stefon raved about on Saturday Night Live: "This place has everything: Lights, psychos, Furbies, screaming babies in Mozart wigs, sunburned drifters with soap-sud beards."
Or you can ignore spring break in a great historical spot in New Orleans and pretend it's not spring break right outside on Bourbon Street. Bloomers to bikinis: Bathing suits through history
If Spring Break Means Day Drinking in SOBE Monty's Sunset - South Beach, Florida Monty's has a raw bar stocked with oysters, clams and five kinds of ceviche (including lobster, conch and tuna), a nice weekday happy hour (half-off liquor and 30 percent off wine and beer), assorted DJs on the weekends and a big, fat pool.
The signature cocktail is the Pain Remover #1, #2 or #3, depending on how much rum you want in the creamy coconut-and-pineapple drink. The party here lasts only so late though: Monty's closes at midnight on Saturdays.
If You Want to Spend Spring Break Legally Drinking on a Beach Louie's Backyard - South Padre Island, Texas The narrow strip of land along the Gulf Coast, San Padre Island, offers something most other US beach towns lack - the ability to legally drink on the beach. Louie's Backyard is one of the island's most popular spots on the island, with multiple bars, a location on the beach and parties every night for the month of March. The signature drink is called Charlie's Cherry; it's been called a "Hurricane on steroids." If You Want to Spring Break Brooklyn Style Surf Bar - Brooklyn, New York Brooklyn is not the spring break capital of the world. But if you're determined to feel like you're at a beach in the middle of Williamsburg, Surf Bar has a sand floor, surfboards on the ceiling and plenty of Hawaiian leis. They make a mean lobster roll and assorted fish chowders, and plenty of their drinks require paper umbrellas, like mai tais and frozen margaritas.
If You're Ignoring Spring Break Old Absinthe House - New Orleans, Louisiana Right on touristy Bourbon Street, where almost every day is like spring break's aftermath, is the Old Absinthe House. The original bar was founded in 1874; famous patrons have included Mark Twain, P.T. Barnum and Franklin D. Roosevelt. In addition to seven kinds of absinthe, there's the signature Absinthe House Frappe (absinthe, anisette and a splash of club soda over crushed ice) and other classic Southern cocktails such as the Sazerac and, of course, the Hurricane. If Spring Break Means Drinking 88-Ounce Daiquiris in Guitar Cups Near Girls Dancing in Cages Rockhouse - Las Vegas, Nevada This 9,000-square-foot bar and club has everything: multiple bars, dancing cages, 88-ounce guitar cups, the Beer Pong World Championships. The cocktail menu has a section of Chick Drinks, including the coconut rum–spiked Rock Me Like a Hurricane, and Manly Drinks, including the whiskey–and–Red Bull concoction Burning Ring of Fire.

Hey Kate – you obviously haven't been to South Padre Island in TEXAS as you would know where Louies Backyard actually is! lol Charlies cherry is indeed a legend and the 12 ft sand sculpture as you enter is something to behold – that was created by island artist #AndyHancock and you can enjoy looking at it while eating your excellent Fish Tacos or the signature burger. And then if you do want to see the "beach" you could try Boomerang Billys Beach Bar and their signature cocktail – "the sandcastle"

WK-M and CC Phoenix 25amp ESC Test Videos
Here are the test videos using the Castle Creation Phoenix 25amp ESC's in my CX-4 Drone. The video of the Drone was done using a Canon Vixia HF S100 camcorder attached to a bike helmet on my head and the onboard video was done using a Panasonic TX100V camera/camcorder.
In the windy video you will see that the drone handles the wind very well, especially being relatively small, only 20" from motor to motor, however strong gusts tend to affect the altitude hold. Strong gusts will sometimes suddenly send the drone up or down up to a few feet depending on how the gusts hit it. This has nothing to do with the ESC's, as it exhibits this same behavior no matter what ESC's I am using. I have this same situation with both of my Mikrokopter drones as well in gusty winds. They all stay at altitude fairly well in constant winds, but get pushed up or down with strong gusts. As far as the onboard video goes, the camera mount I am using has some slop in the roll axis and because of this tends to introduce some minor jitter in the picture at times. I'm currently working on a solution for this. In addition, as you may know, when using the WooKong-M system for camera stabilization, it does not put out a fast enough signal for the camera mount servos to keep up with the movement of the drone, especially in the roll axis. I can only hope that DJI corrects this problem or I will be forced to buy a separate stabilizer board for the camera mount. You'll notice that there are 3 cuts in the windy video, This was done to edit out the parts where the wind stopped blowing for a few moments and to keep the video from being too long. In addition, there was NO type of stabilization used in the post production of these videos, however it would appear that YouTube's processing has removed much of the video's original sharpness. I also left in the soundtrack from the onboard camera untouched so that you could hear the motors speeding up & slowing down according to fligth conditions. In the parts of the windy video where the Drone is remaining stationary, GPS hold was being used with only fluctuations in altitude due to wind gusts. The videos are best viewed at the full screen, 1080p setting. Tom

"pwm rate is just how fast it switches fets. since 25A cc design doesnt have gate drivers the faster the pwm rate the more losses will be due to switching. 12 or 16k is a good choice for reducing noise from esc, but 24 is probably overkill as it'll be heating fets more and losing power in switching, unless they're using some real good fets with low rdson."

Line breaks: on-messageDefinition of on-message in English:
(Of a politician) stating the official party line.
Example sentences
- Clearly he should have consulted his political adviser and stayed on-message.
- Despite their reputation for subversiveness, both Ant and Dec have a tendency to speak in the flavourless on-message soundbites of New Labour politicians.
- Thus the CRE chief still thinks that the way to change public attitudes is through official re-education schemes (such as summer citizenship camps for lucky teenagers), and by giving grants to on-message projects.

WE have skill we need to get tougher to play against now ,. Forget the skill in the next few drafts . Focus on team d and toughness and maybe add a high end goalie prospect .
I have been an Oiler fan since they came into the NHL and this is the least physical team we have ever had . If we some how had the 1st Over all pick this year ,it would be best to take Seth Jones , trade some prospects and Gagner for a good 2 C . Seth is like a young Pronger that can grow with our team and be a true number one time we are ready to contend for a cup .

In 1961, Peter Scimone and his wife Rosalie converted a humble patch of farmland into an epicenter for recreation, starting small with only 16 bowling lanes. Over the years, Roseland Lanes—which was named after Rosalie—was enhanced with a café and grill, pizza parlor, and pub all named for Pete. Today their daughter carries on the family tradition, warmly welcoming guests into a modern, 50-lane alley that features a game room, automatic scoring, 36-inch LCD TVs above every lane, and behemoth 47-inch screens scattered intermittently throughout the space. Roseland Lanes acts as home base for leagues and summer camps, and really flares to life during cosmic bowling on weekend and Wednesday evenings, when a DJ from Rock the House Entertainment steals the spotlight playing requested tunes through a 10,000-watt sound system.
When bowlers have exhausted themselves out on the lanes, they invade Papa Pete's Pizza for slices and wings or Pete's Cafe for burgers and ice cream. At Pete's Pub, liquor, beer, and wine quench thirsts and patrons compete for glory or the final seat on city council at the pool table, dartboards, or karaoke mike. Nearby, the Rose Room hosts up to 70 partygoers and the adjacent La Casa Bella Party Center sets the stage for fancy affairs.
There are parkland golf courses, and then there are golf courses set within the US National Parks System. The 18-hole layout at Astorhurst Country Club abuts Tinkers Creek in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, where it immerses golfers in picturesque surroundings while challenging them to hit their way over elevation changes, think through strategic quandaries, and ignore cloud formations just begging to be interpreted. At 6,138 yards, the course doesn't overwhelm anyone with extreme length, relying instead upon challenges to shot-shaping, control, and discipline that keep the course accessible to every level of golfer.
Course at a Glance: * 18-hole, par 31 course * Total length of 6,138 yards from the back tees * Course rating of 70.3 from the back tees * Course slope of 120 from the back tees * Three sets of tees per hole * View the scorecard
Dedicated to the five senses, A Beautiful New You Heath + Beauty Expo treats its guests to health-and-beauty elements they can see, touch, hear, taste, and smell. As guests meander through the space, they can peruse dazzling crystal jewelry by designer Traci Lynn, release stress during aromatherapy sessions, or witness healthy cooking demonstrations. They also can catch a live fashion show and learn new strength-training moves during fitness classes.
The trainers at Cleveland Boxing Academy include domestic and international champs—Vonda Ward is an International Boxing Association and World Boxing Council heavyweight world champion, and Robert Francis is a two-time New York state champion. During classes and lessons, they teach students the science behind boxing while providing an intense workout that can help fighters sculpt their physiques.
Bally enshrines exercise classes, calorie-burning equipment, and a fitness-focused staff within its sanctuaries of health. A 30-day membership includes access to a spread of group exercise classes, including Pilates, Reaction Cycling, and Step Fitness (class offerings vary by location). For self-guided worker-outers, cardio equipment such as treadmills, elliptical machines, cross-trainers, and stair climbers torch calories while entertaining the brain with video entertainment and integrated music systems that occasionally whisper quotes from Charles Atlas. Bally also boasts an array of strength machines, free weights, and small-apparatus equipment, and grants gym-goers access to on-site locker rooms, showers, and, at some locations, a pool and steam room. Visit each location's webpage for a list of specific amenities and the lineup of classes.

That's not true, at least with the v6 engine A5s... The v6 A5 has the same brake calipers as the S5, being the only difference between their brakes the size of the discs and the callipers holders which are bigger, so if you have a v6 A5 you would only have to buy the S5 discs and calipers holders to upgrade it... |

The difference in the S5 and V6 TDi or Non-TDI is that the caliper has a black S5 sticker on it, other than that all calipers are the same on the front.

Sorry for late reply but is it 100% true that S5 calipers are same to A5 3.0TDI's apart from color? I consider replacing my 2.0TFSI's 320mm rotors to 345mm and it's important to understand if I may leave stock calipers intact, replacing just carriers/rotors/pads.

This are the official type and sizes of A5 3.0 TDI and S5 brakes... Front and rear... The only difference between both is the disc size, and accordingly the caliper carrier. The rest is exactly the same. This is official technical Audi information for the spanish dealers... Tha data are: Engine Minimum wheel size Brake type number of brake pistons brake piston diammeter brake disc diammeter Last edited by labombadiesel; 25th October 2011 at 06:13 AM. |

| Searching in ETKA and TRW Aftermarket catalog has revealed several interesting facts: 1. Audi Q5 SUV has two front brake setups - 1LA and 1LJ - 1LA is similar to A5 - rotor, caliper carrier p/n's are same - 1LJ is similar to S5 - rotor p/n is the same, caliper carrier p/n's are different (due to color) 2. Audi Q5 has same front caliper p/n's for both setups - 1LA and 1LJ Applying some logic to the abovementioned facts brings to the following: - front calipers are interchangeable between 1LA and 1LJ setups - Q5 has same caliper carriers as S5, but in gray color Last edited by Tomcat-R; 31st October 2011 at 07:51 AM. |

Sorry to dig this topic up Just wanted to see if anyone had any input. I have a 2.0T and going to be putting on a 380 bbk on the front and wanted slightly larger rears. As stated above the s5 rear rotor is 22mm and the a5 is 12mm. Are the s5 and the a5 caliper the same? I will be getting larger caliper carriers to accomodate the 330 vs. 300 size rotors but how would the width of the rotor affect it? (I checked hawk performance and the pads have the same part number for an a5 and s5) Thanks Last edited by ubiquitous; 13th August 2012 at 12:48 PM. |

Hi ubiquitous, wow that is some huge front BBK. i think the rear S5 and A5 are different in terms of thickness of the brake rotor. i know that you can change the rotors of S5 to the RS5 and still retain the same calipers but not for the A5 to the S5. i upgraded my front and Rear Brakes to the RS5 types hence i had to change the whole lot, rotors and calipers. hope this helps.

Cheryl Jones, owner of Greenwood Nursery, notes, "I've been promoting the European concept of planting fruit plants within the landscape for about 10 years in our gardening newsletter and direct to customers. It's such a great feeling to be able to provide yourself and your family with the summer's fresh fruits that came from just outside your door."

Fruiting plants do require mostly sunny areas and soil with high organic content which can be accomplished by adding aged compost or aged manure mix in the holes at the time of planting.
Eating fresh blackberries, blueberries and strawberries as they mature over the summer months is so refreshing and to know that they came from your own plants is comforting.
Steve and Cheryl Jones started Greenwood Nursery, McMinnville, TN, in 1978 as a propagation and wholesale nursery. In 1998, they took their plant catalog online offering a wide selection of garden plants to the home gardener, and, now, Greenwood Nursery is an online plant nursery and garden center shipping plants throughout the continental United States.

The debate among Corvette colors will always be lively, but when captured in the right light, as this car's owner says, "Supersonic Blue is the hue."
Here's a silver C6 Z06 giving its 505 horsepower a rest along the waters of Bruinisse, Zeeland in the Netherlands. Click the image after the jump for a logo-free version of this week's Wednesday wallpaper.
The Blue Devil ZR1 Corvette, one of eight 'Vettes swallowed in that sinkhole at the National Corvette Museum, will be making an appearance at SEMA this week in a much brighter light.
I know there are a lot of you who hate when I go on these safety rants, but for the past couple of weeks I've been growing really concerned reading about all these Corvette wrecks that have been attributed to excessive speed.
Over the past four years, Dragon Vette has become an icon for what lies at the dregs of physical reality. This mangled sports car should be celebrated for its ability to frighten. I hereby declare Dragon Vette the official Corvette of Halloween.
