Fully synthetic polymers were used for the prepn. of hydrogel beads and capsules, in a processing scheme that, originally designed for calcium alginate, was adapted to a "tandem" process, that is the combination a phys. gelation with a chem. crosslinking ...
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 ...
Two novel tetra- and hexahydroxy functionalized perylene chromophores have been used as initiators for the Sn(oct)2 catalyzed ring-opening polymerization of different lactones. The arms of the resulting star polymers were comprised of either crystallizable ...
A new synthetic strategy for the preparation of highly branched, or dendritic-graft, polypeptides is presented. The synthetic strategy is based on a repetitive sequence of ring-opening copolymerization and deprotection steps. Comonomers for the ring-openin ...
The scale-up/-down of polymn. reactors has to deal with large viscosity changes during the process, addressing mass- and heat-transfer issues. A practical example on scale-up of styrene and Me methacrylate free radical bulk and soln. polymn. is presented. ...
This paper describes the synthesis of two novel tetra 2-bromoisobutyric acid-substituted perylene fluorophores and their use as initiators for the atom transfer radical polymerization of styrene. Different star-shaped polystyrenes covering a wide range of ...
Poly(vinylbenzylammonium chloride) (PVBAC) polyelectrolytes possessing defined chain lengths, narrow chain length distributions, uniform charge d., but substituents of different hydrophilicity and size at the quaternary ammonium group were used as model co ...
The influence of the surface morphology of semi-crystalline poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and polyamide 12 (PA12) films on the adhesion and cohesion of thin oxide coatings is analysed, with attention paid to the role of spherulites and processing addi ...
Alkanethiolates have been widely used as chemisorbates to modify gold surfaces, in spite of their relatively poor oxidative stability. We introduce gold-chemisorbing block copolymers bearing an anchoring block of poly(propylene sulfide) (PPS), selected in ...
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 ...
