The free radical copolymerization of 1,3-bis(N,N,N-trimethylammonium)-2-propylmethacrylate dichloride (di-M) with acryloyloxyethyltrimethylammonium chloride (Q), diallyldimethylammonium chloride (DADMAC), and acrylamide (A) yielded novel polyelectrolytes a ...
The conformation and titrn. curves of weak polyampholytes are examd. using Monte Carlo simulations with screened Coulomb potentials in the Grand Canonical ensemble. Two different types of monomers are considered. Depending on the soln. pH, monomers A are w ...
Peptide-synthetic hybrid block copolymers are most easily prepared via ring-opening polymerization of ?-amino acid N-carboxyanhydrides using appropriately end-functionalized synthetic polymers as the macroinitiator. This class of peptide-synthetic hybrid b ...
This feature article provides a compilation of tools available for preparing well-defined peptide/protein–polymer conjugates, which are defined as hybrid constructs combining (i) a defined number of peptide/protein segments with uniform chain lengths and d ...
A series of imidazolium dicarboxylic acids have been prepd. from the reaction of the 1,3-bis(carboxymethyl)imidazolium zwitterion with the Bronsted acids HX (X = F, Br, Cl, ClO4). The structures of these acids have been established in the solid ...
Effective encapsulation of small, volatile, weakly water-soluble molecules such as flavors and fragrances is necessary to protect them from degradation, to increase their lifetime, and to improve their water dispersion and fixation depending on the substra ...
We report the first measurements of a self-healing polymer that combines a microencapsulated liquid healing agent and shape memory alloy (SMA) wires. When a propagating crack ruptures the embedded microcapsules, the liquid healing agent is automatically re ...
Protein-polymer conjugates are widely used in biotechnology and medicine, and non-toxic polymers for bioconjugation would be advantageous for these applications. Herein, we reported the toxicity of polymers synthesized by two commonly employed controlled r ...
Novel amphiphilic multi-arm star-block copolymers with a hyperbranched core, a hydrophobic inner shell, and a hydrophilic outer shell have been prepared from a commercial hyperbranched polyester macroinitiator by ring-opening polymerization of -caprolacton ...
In this study, the application of reaction calorimetry, an efficient tool to obtain kinetic and safety data, is presented on the free radical dispersion polymn. of MMA in scCO2. The effect of three major parameters with respect to the reaction evolution ar ...
