    Cons: 1. Limited absorbency Sand is not as absorbent as the best cat litter, which can lead to excess moisture in the litter box.. 2. Poor odor control Sand does little to neutralize odors ...

  3. Cyanoacrylate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanoacrylate

    Chemical structure of ethyl cyanoacrylate, the precursor to many commercial adhesives. The most common monomer is ethyl cyanoacrylate.Several related esters are known. To facilitate easy handling, a cyanoacrylate monomer is frequently formulated with an ingredient such as fumed silica to make it more viscous or gel-like.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sand_reinforced_polyester...

    Sand reinforced polyester composites (SPCs), are building materials with sand acting as reinforcement in the composite.Pioneers in using sand reinforced composites include German business men Gerhard Dust and Gunther Plötner, who made sand reinforced composite bricks with polyester resin and hardener to provide emergency relief housing for those affected by the 2010 earthquake in Haiti.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biofilm

    A biofilm is a syntrophic community of microorganisms in which cells stick to each other and often also to a surface. [2] [3] These adherent cells become embedded within a slimy extracellular matrix that is composed of extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs).

  8. Femoral head ostectomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femoral_head_ostectomy

    The procedure exposes the head section of the femur bone (the ball of the ball and socket joint), and then the head is removed using a small saw or a bone hammer and chisel. Rarely both sides are done in one operation, [ 4 ] most times one side is done and allowed to heal before the other side is done.

  9. Extracellular polymeric substance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extracellular_polymeric...

    Extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs) are natural polymers of high molecular weight secreted by microorganisms into their environment. [1] EPSs establish the functional and structural integrity of biofilms , and are considered the fundamental component that determines the physicochemical properties of a biofilm. [ 2 ]
