This paper presents a fabrication of polymer microchips with homogeneous material technique due to surface treatment by plasma before sealing. UV laser photoablation was used for fast prototyping of microstructures, and oxygen plasma was used as a surface ...
Conversion of unactivated olefins to azides was achieved with high Markovnikov selectivity for a broad range of alkenes by using 6 mol % Co(BF4).6H2O and ligand I, with 3 equiv of tosyl azide as the nitrogen source and simple silanes (e.g., PhSiH3, tetrame ...
Carrier-mediated drug delivery has emerged as a powerful methodology for the treatment of various pathologies. The therapeutic index of traditional and novel drugs is enhanced via the increase of specificity due to targeting of drugs to a particular tissue ...
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 ...
A precise data set describing the kinetics of the free radical copolymn. of acrylamide/acrylic acid (AM/AA) in the range of low total monomer concn. as a function of the pH, total monomer concn., initiator concn., and comonomer ratio is presented. Strong i ...
Particle contamination formed in reactive plasmas imposes an upper limit on the rate for particle-free deposition. Conversely, these plasmas could be exploited to produce nanometric clusters and particles for various applications. Infrared absorption spect ...

Stimuli-responsive polymers have the unique property of undergoing a reversible phase transition. This property has attracted much interest for their application in the field of medicine and biotechnology, such as drug delivery systems. Linear polymers of ...
The synthesis of a benzo-15-crown-5 functionalized α-olefin (4′-(undec-10-enylcarboxylate)benzo-15-crown-5, 5) and its terpolymerization with carbon monoxide and various α-olefins are described. A decline of the glass transition temperatures (Tg) of the co ...
The influence of hyperbranched polymer grafted polypropylene (PP-HBP) on the interfacial adhesion between fusion bonded bilayers of polypropylene (PP) and polyamide 6 (PA6) and on the properties of PP/PA6 blends was investigated. The interfacial adhesion b ...
Good understanding of the different phases of involved plasma-chemistry is essential for the development of non thermal plasma technologies for pollution control. These techniques are often based on the production of radicals from dissociation parent gases ...
