The present invention relating to a rebar coupler that mutually connects and fixes a rebar in a longitudinal direction comprises: a pair of coupler bodies that are formed in a cylindrical shape through which the inside is penetrated, formed of an inlet in one side through which the rebar is inserted, and formed of a fixing piece contact surface inclined toward the inlet inside the penetrated passage; a connecting unit disposed between the pair of coupler bodies to mutually couple the opposite ends of the inlet of each coupler body; a plurality of fixing pieces arranged radially inside the coupler body, wherein an outer surface is installed to contact the fixing piece contact surface, and wherein a plurality of locking protrusions are formed in the horizontal and vertical directions, respectively, to fix the rebar inserted through the inlet; and an elastic member provided inside the coupler body to press the plurality of fixing pieces toward the inlet.

Rebar coupler

Electrophoretic media are provided comprising at least un-crosslinked polymers which have a temperature reversible transition from low viscosity to high viscosity, so as to be pourable at one temperature, while providing sieving properties at another temperature. Optionally included with the un-crosslinked polymers having a reversible temperature responsive viscosity change are gelling agents and polymers which do not have the reversible temperature responsive viscosity change. The subject compositions have excellent clarity, provide excellent separation and resolution, handling properties, and mechanical strength. The compositions are compatible with transfer of separated components from the gel to an accepting membrane.
