Introduction Click to copy section linkSection link copied! More than 20 years ago, Rubinstein and Semenov developed the theory of “sticky reptation” to describe the motion of associating polymers. (2) They found that “(t)he process of making and breaking reversible bonds between associating groups (stickers) controls the dynamics of associating polymers.” The sticky reptation model is used for polyelectrolyte multilayers and polyelectrolyte complexes (see e.g. Yang M et al.

Australasian Plant Disease Notes, Jul 2023 A study of postharvest diseases in mangoes in Tanauan, Batangas, situated in Southern Luzon, Philippines, led to the isolation of a fungal pathogen causing stem-end rot and fruit rot disease in the Philippines. The disease is characterized by water-soaked brown lesions associated with white mycelial growth in the late stage of infection.
