Blocky sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) ionomers were synthesized by postpolymerization functionalization in the gel state. Matched sets of blocky and random SPEEK with ion contents between 3 11 mol % prepared, thermal transitions crystallization kinetics examined using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). At similar contents, exhibited higher crystallizability faster than SPEEK. Reduced scattering contrast USAXS/SAXS/WAXD analysis copolymer membranes, relative to analogues,...
Ureido-cytosine pendant groups contributed to random acrylic copolymers with enhanced thermomechanical performance, well-defined morphologies, and reduced water uptake.
Methods 100 contractions of maximally tolerated neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) were performed on one quadriceps. The oral contraceptive (OC) group, consuming an exogenous estrogen source, NMES between days 8‐11 pill consumption. high (HI) and low (LO) endogenous groups 19‐21 or 1‐3 the menstrual cycle, respectively; day 1 was menses onset. HI LO did not take OC. Maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) assessed before, 0, 48 hours post. Soreness measured before post with a...
