Nitroalcohol induced hydrogel formation in amine-functionalized polymers

Formation of CdS nanoparticle necklaces with functionalized dendronized polymers.

A one-dimensional assembly of cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanoparticles was prepared by using functionalized polymers with pendant Fréchet-type dendritic wedges of different generation. The novel dendronized polymers acted as both nanoreactors for the formation of CdS nanoparticles and a template to arrange the nanoparticles into a necklace. The polymers of different dendron generation were applied t...

Food Gum based Hydrogel Polymers

Among these non-food applications, synthesis hydrogel polymers have been widely concerned due to their widespread applications in pharmaceutical and medical areas, e.g., as delivery vehicles for drugs, cells, genes, or proteins, and as scaffolds for tissue engineering [6-8]. Hydrogels are polymeric materials that have a three-dimensional network structure with the ability of absorbing abundant ...

Light-Induced Nanostructure Formation using Azobenzene Polymers

Functionalized polymers: synthesis and properties

Materials that are used in everyday life have an immense impact on the development of the human society. During the Stone Age and Iron Age epochs, humans widely used stone or iron to make tools. In the present age, there is no question that polymers and plastics dominate our rapidly developing daily needs and show enormous potential for the development of new technologies. Constructive material...

Silanol-Assisted Carbinolamine Formation in an Amine-Functionalized Mesoporous Silica Surface: Theoretical Investigation by Fragmentation Methods.

The aldol reaction catalyzed by an amine-substituted mesoporous silica nanoparticle (amine-MSN) surface was investigated using a large molecular cluster model (Si392O958C6NH361) combined with the surface integrated molecular orbital/molecular mechanics (SIMOMM) and fragment molecular orbital (FMO) methods. Three distinct pathways for the carbinolamine formation, the first step of the amine-cata...
