Although there are many forms of polyesters, the term \"polyester\" is most commonly used to refer to polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Other forms of polyester include the naturally-occurring cutin of plant cuticles as well as synthetic polyesters such as polycarbonate and polybutyrate.Polyester may be produced in numerous forms. For example, polyester as a thermoplastic may be heated and processed into different forms and shapes, eg: fibres, sheets and three-dimensional shapes.

Biofilms constitute a protected growth modality that allows the micro-organisms to survive in hostile environments. Biofilm science is a relatively new technical discipline, which has emerged in response to the need of methodologies for biofilm control. Biofilms represent an interdisciplinary research area focused on the understanding and modulating of the combination of biological and chemical reactions, as well as in transport and interfacial transfer processes, that potentially affect the microbial accumulation and activity on abiotic and biotic surfaces. Research on biofilms has progressed rapidly in the last decade. Due to the fact that biofilms have required the development of new analytical tools, many recent advances have resulted from collaborations between biologists, engineers and mathematicians. The scientific community has come to understand many things about the particular biology of microbial biofilms through a variety of microscopic, physical, chemical, and molecular techniques of study. This book provides a remarkable amount of knowledge on the processes that regulate biofilm formation; on the methods used for their formation, monitoring, characterisation and mathematical modelling; on the problems caused by their presence in the food industry, environment and medical fields; and describes the current and emergent strategies for their control. The information in this book is designed to be of use to researchers and engineers working on fundamental aspects of biofilm formation and control and also to be helpful in conducting biofilm studies and in the consistent interpretation of results.","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887080550743,"sku":"9781629481616","price":196.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781629481616.jpg?v=1722542906"},{"product_id":"mechanical-basis-of-biochemechanics-9788186190647","title":"Mechanical Basis of Biochemechanics","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Sports Publication","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48889735020887,"sku":"9788186190647","price":22.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"biochemical-engineering-a-textbook-for-engineers-chemists-and-biologists-9783527338047","title":"Biochemical Engineering: A Textbook for","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCompletely revised, updated, and enlarged, this second edition now contains a subchapter on biorecognition assays, plus a chapter on bioprocess control added by the new co-author Jun-ichi Horiuchi, who is one of the leading experts in the field. \u003cbr\u003e The central theme of the textbook remains the application of chemical engineering principles to biological processes in general, demonstrating how a chemical engineer would address and solve problems.

Self-tests appear after every 2 to 3 units and there is a cumulative self-test at the end of the book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction to the Chemistry of Life.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Particles, Atoms, and Molecules.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Chemical Groups.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Ions, Ionic Bonds, and Crystals.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Polarity, Hydrogen Bonds, Solubility, and HydrophobicInteractions.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Chemical Equilibrium.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Carbohydrates I: Monosaccharides and Related Molecules.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Carbohydrates II: Disaccharides, and Polysaccharides.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Amino Acids.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Proteins I: Peptide Bonding and Polypeptides.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Proteins II: Levels of Structure and Conjugated Proteins.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Lipids: Fats, Phospholipids, Sterols, and Prostaglandins.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Nucleic Acids.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Bioenergetics.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Energy Transfer Molecules.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Enzymes.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Regulation of Enzymes and Reaction Sequences.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Molecular Weight and Molar, Percent, Mg Percent, and ppmSolutions.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e pH and H?+ Concentration.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Weak Acids, Dissociation Constants, and Buffers.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Self-Test.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Laboratory Methods.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Cumulative Self-Test.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Index.","brand":"John Wiley \u0026 Sons Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49402647609687,"sku":"9780471637165","price":94.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780471637165.jpg?v=1730481104"},{"product_id":"selection-preparation-and-pharmacological-evaluation-of-plant-material-volume-1-9780471942177","title":"Selection Preparation and Pharmacological","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Use of Plant Remedies in Indigenous Medical Systems.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Presentation of Results.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Preparation of Plant Material.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Gastro-Intestinal Tract.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Liver and Biliary System.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Cardiovascular System.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Respiratory System.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Anti-Inflammatory and Analgesic Activity.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Diabetes Mellitus.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Nervous System.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Endocrine Activity: Antifertility and Sex Hormones.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Appendices.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Index.","brand":"John Wiley \u0026 Sons Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49402687062359,"sku":"9780471942177","price":201.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780471942177.jpg?v=1730481236"},{"product_id":"endocrine-and-hormonal-toxicology-9780471970866","title":"Endocrine and Hormonal Toxicology","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEndocrine and Hormonal Toxicology Edited by Philip W. Harvey, Kevin C.

Although focusing on the latest knowledge on endocrine glands as target organs and the mechanistic and molecular basis for toxicity in these organs, Endocrine and Hormonal Toxicology has been written to cover toxicological responses at the whole body level mediated by endocrine or hormonal mechanisms. This whole body, multi-organ approach significantly broadens the relevance of this volume to toxicologists. Following an introductory section on the types of endocrine toxicity including primary, secondary and indirect mechanisms, the next section deals with endocrine organs as toxicological targets.
