Usually, flexible spacers, such as methylene spacer with more than 11 repeat units, were introduced between backbone and mesogen group to decouple the limitation of backbones to the mesogen side chains, which usually results in micro-phase separation between backbones and side chains, and form side-chain liquid crystalline polymer or side chain reorientation on surface of polyimide films to obtain pretilt angles (11-15).
Chapters cover PVA-PAMPS as novel hydrocarbon proton-conducting electrolyte membranes, plasticizer incorporated PVA- PAMPS semi-interpenetrating polymer networks, PVA-PAMPS composites on the basis of binary chemical cross-linking or side chains, cell performance of PVA-PAMPS hydrocarbon proton-conducting electrolyte membranes in a real DMFC, and other PVA-based polymer membranes and their applications for PEFC and AFC.
By comparison of the results of chemical and enzymatic deglycosylation of the denaturated lectins we show, which lectin chains are glycosylated and how many sugar side chains form the glycan part of the lectins and which role plays truncation of the glycan chains.
