Block copolymers are comprised of repeating chemical groups (blocks) which commonly contain at least one hydrophilic block coupled to at least one hydrophobic block, forming an amphipathic macromolecule. This molecular arrangement drives the self assembly ...
A linear water-sol. quaternary ammonium polymer having a homopolymeric chain of repeating unit I (R1 and R2 = linear or branched alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, alkoxyalkyl groups having 1-6 C atoms; X- = anion and n = 30-220) was prepd. The polymer has a molar mass ...

The use of many plastic packaging materials such as PVC, PAN, etc. to protect food and beverages is restricted because of toxicity and recycling problems and there is a need for the development of new packaging materials with good gas barrier properties. P ...
A linear water-soluble quaternary ammonium polymer having a homopolymeric chain of repeating unit of general formula (I):where each of R1 and R2 independently represents a member selected from the group consisting of linear or branched alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, ...
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 ...
Optically active liquid-crystalline side-chain polysiloxanes have been prepared by grafting planar chiral ferrocene-based vinyl monomers onto commercially available polyhydrosiloxane. Two ferrocene monomers have been synthesized: a linear-type monomer, whi ...
The integration of shear-thickening fluids (STFs) into composite structures has been investigated with the aim of tuning part stiffness and damping capacity under dynamic deformation. Results from oscillatory rheological measurements for a STF based on con ...
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 ...
We modeled liquid oxygen using ab initio molecular dynamics in which both the atomic structure and the noncollinear magnetic structure evolve without constraints. The atomic structure shows preference for parallel alignment of first-neighbor molecules and ...
The partial molar volume, .hivin.V, and the partial sp. vol., .hivin.n, were estd. for more than 25 polyelectrolyte structures. The materials investigated by d. measurements in highly dild. aq. solns. (c < 10-2 monomol/L) included both synthetic polyelectr ...
