The present PhD thesis deals with the high temperature polymerization of methyl methacrylate in a continuous pilot scale process. The major aim is to investigate the feasibility of a polymerization process for the production of PMMA molding compound at tem ...
This paper reports the synthesis and characterization of a novel class of dendronized polymers which are based on styrene functionalized dendritic L-lysine macromonomers. Free radical polymerization of zeroth and first generation macromonomers afforded den ...
Nanostructures are known to exhibit novel optical, electrical, and magnetic and many other interesting physical properties and a lot of research has been invested on the synthesis and study of such structures in the recent years. The massive drive towards ...
A ruthenium meso-tetra[4-(vinylbenzoxy)benzyl]porphyrin catalyst with four polymerizable side chains was synthesized in three steps from commercially available starting materials. The polymerizable side chains allowed the incorporation of this complex in h ...
Free radical polymerization is the most frequently used technique to produce synthetic polymers. They represent more than 25% of the total volume of materials made by the mankind. 3% thereof correspond to water soluble polymers with annual growth rates est ...
Owing to its porous cellular structure and polymeric components, wood can be easily shaped in its transversal direction when it is heated and has sufficient water content. Thanks to this thermohydrous behaviour many manufacturing processes such as densific ...
The emergence of antimicrobial resistance has led to an increase in research directed toward the engineering of novel polyketides. To date, less than 10 000 polyketide structures have been discovered exptl.; however, the theor. anal. of polyketide biosynth ...
Protrusion, the first step of cell migration, is driven by actin polymerization coupled to adhesion at the cell's leading edge. Polymerization and adhesive forces have been estimated, but the net protrusion force has not been measured accurately. We arrest ...
This study investigates the structure and organization of a series of hybrid diblock copolymers based on polyethylene glycol) (PEG) and peptide sequences inspired by the coiled coil protein folding motif. Circular dichroism spectroscopy and analytical ultr ...
A ruthenium meso-tetra[4-(vinylbenzoxy)benzyl]porphyrin catalyst with four meso-polymerizable side chains was synthesized in three steps from commercially available starting materials. The polymerizable side chains allowed the incorporation of this complex ...
