Abstract: The present invented process is a new and useful way of recycling commingled polymer scrap film, and may be used for further recycling applications. Using high-sheer mastication, this process is able to accomplish what thermoprocessing techniques could not and breaks down crosslinked and immiscible material. By adding a lower molecular weight polymer to the original scrap material under the right parameters, the material will intermingle with the new polymer which will inhibit it from reforming crosslinked molecular bonds. Furthermore, the addition of a lower molecular weight polymer allows for the resultant polymer to become thermoprocessable when processing temperatures are too high for the original material to melt. The invented process describes how to take polymer material previously sent to landfill and turn it into an easily reproccessable moldable polymer.

Abstract: The genes encoding ryanodine receptor homologs have been characterized from multiple insect families including lepidopteran tobacco budworm (Heliothis virescens), homopteran green peach aphid (Myzus persicae), corn plant hopper (Peregrinus maidis), cotton melon aphid (Aphis gossypil) and fruitfly (Drosophila melanogaster). The full-length genes have been isolated, cloned and amplified in bacterial cells. Expression in insect cells shows that the recombinant protein folds into a functional calcium release channel.
