TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of the procedure on the mechanical characteristics of the polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel and the stability of the immobilized microorganisms were investigated, and the rubber-like elasticity of the PVA showed rubber like elasticity after iterative freezing-thawing.

TL;DR: Based on the effect of the glycine concentration and the time-course of the release, the optimal condition of glycine treatment may be 3 h-incubation in 1% glycine, which suggests a simple and easy method for the purification of the enzyme.

TL;DR: The mechanical and kinetic properties of PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) hydrogel prepared by the iterative freezing and thawing (IFT) method were studied in order to assess its applicability as an immobilizing support and showed rubber-like elasticity and the Young's modulus of the gel increased with increasing polymer concentration.

TL;DR: In this paper, the relative humidity of saturated aqueous solutions of inorganic salts has been widely used in a laboratory and the results appearing in the literature differ up to several percentages.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new suspension polymerization process that generates narrow-size distribution and spherical particles in the range of 3-10 microns is described, where the monomer and water phases are held in separate vessels and fed at an accurate rate to a mechanical disperser, where small uniform droplets of monomer are formed.
