Polymerization of ionic monomers in polar solvents: kinetics and mechanism of the free radical copolymerization of acrylamide/acrylic acid

Jutta Christine Wandrey, Ignacio Rintoul

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 ...

L-lysine dendronized polystyrene

Harm-Anton Klok

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 ...

Theoretical Considerations and Computational Analysis of the Complexity in Polyketide Synthesis Pathways

Vassily Hatzimanikatis

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 ...

Small-angle neutron scattering from diblock copolymer poly(styrene-d8)-b-poly(γ-benzyl L-glutamate) solutions: Rod-coil to coil-coil transition

Harm-Anton Klok

The elastic properties of rod-coil diblock copolymer poly(styrene-d8)-b-poly(γ-benzyl L-glutamate) (PSd-b-PBLG) rod-coil diblock copolymer solutions were investigated using small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). PBLG is known to undergo a transition from a ...

Partial oxidation of toluene to benzaldehyde and benzoic acid over model vanadia/titania catalysts

Albert Renken, Lioubov Kiwi, Fabio Rainone

Pure and K-doped vanadia/titania catalysts have been studied by transient response method and in situ DRIFTS during toluene partial oxidn. They were characterized by FT-Raman spectroscopy, TPR, TPD of pyridine and XPS. In order to elucidate the role of dif ...

Acrylic acid grafting and collagen immobilization on poly(ethylene terephthalate) surfaces for adherence and growth of human bladder smooth muscle cells

Florian Maria Wurm, Peter Frey

In tissue engineering, degradable or non-degradable polymer matrices can act as cell-carrier-scaffolds. Cell adhesion and growth on these scaffolds can be promoted by immobilizing extracellular matrix proteins. Therefore, in this study, polymer poly(ethyle ...

Silicone elastomer stamp with hydrophilic surfaces and method of making same

Heiko Wolf, Bruno Michel, Emmanuel Delamarche, Christian Donzel

A method for fabricating silocone elastomer stamps with hydrophilic surfaces is provided. The concept of polymer grafting is used to produce the stamps. The stamps thus produced have the great advantage that grafting of a thin hydrophilic polymer on a hydr ...
