Magnetic nanohydrogel obtained by miniemulsion polymerization of poly(acrylic acid) grafted onto derivatized dextran

Synthesis of Silica/Polystyrene Nanocomposite Particles by Miniemulsion Polymerization

Miniemulsion polymerization is one of heterogeneous polymerization method that can be effectively used to synthesis of various novel organic-inorganic nanocomposite particles. This method can provide opportunity of good incorporation between the polymer and inorganic phases in the formed submicrometer-sized particles. In this article, we report preparation polystyrene/silica nanocomposite p...

Continuous Miniemulsion Polymerization

Most miniemulsion polymerizations are carried out in batch reactors. However, continuous reactors or continuous reactor trains can provide a high level of consistency when operated at steady state. In this feature article, progress in continuous miniemulsion polymerization will be reviewed. Special attention will be given to issues of monomer diffusion and secondary nucleation. A large portion ...

Inhibited growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa by dextran- and polyacrylic acid-coated ceria nanoparticles

Ceria (CeO₂) nanoparticles have been widely studied for numerous applications, but only a few recent studies have investigated their potential applications in medicine. Moreover, there have been almost no studies focusing on their possible antibacterial properties, despite the fact that such nanoparticles may reduce reactive oxygen species. In this study, we coated CeO₂ nanoparticles with dextr...

Kinetic Study of Graft Polymerization of Acrylic Acid and Ethyl Methacrylate onto Starch by Ceric Ammonium Nitrate

Graft polymerization of acrylic acid (AA) and ethyl methacrylate (EMA) onto starch (St) were carried out in aqueous solution using ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) as redox system under N2 atmosphere. The effect of pH, reaction time, temperature, concentrations of CAN, St, and monomers on the graft yield was investigated. Monomer reactivity was in the following order: AA>EMA.<em...
