Abstract：
:Polymer film blends of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) and hydroxypropyl starch (HPS) were produced with an incorporation of three different plasticizers, including polyethylene glycol (PEG), glycerol and 1, 2-propylene glycol (PG) respectively, and the influence of these plasticizers were compared and studied by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), small angel X-ray Scattering (SAXS), optical microscope and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). Results showed that multi-scale structure of the blends were greatly affected by the plasticizers and therefore caused significant changes in mechanical properties. In the course, blends with glycerol presented lamellar structure rather than self-similar structure. Moreover, crystalline degree was increased with an order of glycerol > PEG > PG, whereas the compactness of amorphous region of all samples was decreased by PEG and PG.

杂志文章abstract：:Fibrinogen (Fg) also known as coagulation factor I represents about 4% of the total human plasma proteins. The main function of Fg is its involvement in last phase of blood coagulation cascade, when thrombin-induced conversion of dissolved plasma fibrinogen into an insoluble fibrin clot occurs. The reaction of fibrino...
