Melting behaviour of gelspun/drawn polyolefins

Cross metathesis functionalization of polyolefins.

A cross metathesis strategy is reported for the post-polymerization functionalization of the pendant vinyl groups present in a range of polyolefin architectures. This represents a general strategy for the synthesis of tailored random and block copolymers as well as homopolymers.

Polyolefins, a Success Story

This paper reports the principal discoveries which have played a major role in the polyolefin field and have positioned polyolefins as the most produced plastics. The early development of polyolefins covering the production of LDPE (Low density polyethylene) at ICI (Imperial Chemical Industries) and the discovery of Phillips or Ziegler-Natta catalysts are highlighted in the first section. In th...

“Hybridization and melting behaviour of peptide nucleic acid-oligonucleotide chimeras

Melting behaviour of D-sucrose, D-glucose and D-fructose.

The melting behaviour of d-sucrose, d-glucose and d-fructose was studied. The melting peaks were determined with DSC and the start of decomposition was studied with TG at different rates of heating. In addition, melting points were determined with a melting point apparatus. The samples were identified as d-sucrose, alpha-d-glucopyranose and beta-d-fructopyranose by powder diffraction measuremen...

New Aspects on Melting and Annealing Behaviour of Polymers

Poly( 1-butene) (PB) crystallizes from the melt in a metastable modification II (mod. II) which slowly transforms into the stable modification I (mod. I). X-ray wide angle (WAXS) measure­ ments show that in mod. I the size of the microparacrystallites (mPC’s) in chain direction, Z>oi2 * the polydispersity gj> of the size distribution in this direction, the lateral size D u o and the paracrystal...
