General description
1,2,3,4-Butanetetracarboxylic acid (BTCA) is utilized as a cross-linking agent and as a building block for the synthesis of specialized polymers for the formulation of resins, polymers, coatings, and adhesives.
Application
1,2,3,4-Butanetetracarboxylic acid (BTCA) can be used as a cross-linking agent:
- To functionalize cotton fabric. BTCA-treated fabric shows improved anti-pilling, wrinkle resistance, and fire-retardant properties.
- To fabricate flexible, free-standing nanocellulose membranes. The cross-linking with BTCA improves water stability and ionic conductivity of membranes.

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) provide a promising means of creating custom-tailored cell lines for cellular therapies. Their application in regenerative medicine, however, depends on the possibility that the maintenance and differentiation of cells and organs occur under defined conditions.
