Site compatibility matrices

An effective method of NVF chemical modification is graft copolymerization [34,35]. This reaction is initiated by free radicals of the cellulose molecule. The cellulose is treated with an aqueous solution with selected ions and is exposed to a high-energy radiation. Then, the cellulose molecule cracks and radicals are formed. Afterwards, the radical sites of the cellulose are treated with a suitable solution (compatible with the polymer matrix), for example vinyl monomer [35] acrylonitrile [34], methyl methacrylate [47], polystyrene [41]. The resulting copolymer possesses properties characteristic of both fibrous cellulose and grafted polymer. 

The first thing to do is determine what you have on site, and then determine which materials are reactive with which other materials. There are some easy-to-use tools that can help in this analysis, and one of the best is called a compatibility chart. Other references may call this a chemical compatibility chart, a chemical interactivity chart, or a chemical interaction matrix. 

All commonly used substitution matrices are derived from a large collection of protein alignments, containing both enzymes and non-enzymes. Thus, favorable residue groupings tend to refled a structural compatibility rather than a functional equivalence. It would be expected that a substitution matrix derived from particular sets of enzymes would have quite different values for residues that are frequently found in active sites. 

The advantage of a biodegradable dehvery system is a single procedure (no removal) and suitability for injection with a conventional needle and syringe [46]. Clearly, injection site reactions to the matrices require extensive examination to ensure that the matrix material is compatible with the injection site and the protein [47]. It is essential that pilot toxicology studies of the biodegradable matrix be performed before the development of matrices for protein delivery. 

The polyolefin melt is forced through an annular slot 3 of extrusion head 2 and is blown out into a hose. A solution of Cl that is easily volatile in PI is fed onto the site over the mandrel. The Cl solution dissolved in the varnish based on PVB, CEVA or cellulose acetobutyrate is forced to the surface of a diaphragm Table 2.11. The varnish is poured over the inner surface of the rising hose so as to avoid contact between the lower edge of the annular flow of varnish and the Cl layer. The varnish contacts the colloidal solution of polyolefine with Cl formed in the hose surface layer. Above the solidification line A-A the colloidal solution decomposes into phases and a jelly-like layer is formed. Just in this layer the inhibiting liquid is enclosed in the polymer matrix pores that are thermodynamically compatible with the varnish. The varnish diffuses into the pores and, on setting, forms on the inner hose surface an inhibited varnish coat embedded in the porous layer.
