Lanthanide borohydrido complexes for MMA polymerization: syndio- vs iso- stereocontrol

PAL study of graft polymerization of MMA on polyethylene

PAL measurements were used to study the process of graft polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) to low density polyethylene (LDPE). When the monomer was just sorbed to LDPE, both I, and z, were increased. When MMA was grafted to LDPE, on the other hand, they were decreased. These contrasting results suggests usefulness of the PAL method to study the micro-structures of polymers. Introducti...

2,3-Dihydro­pyrrolo­[2,1-b]quinazoline-9(1H)-thione

In the crystal, mol-ecules of the title compound, C(11)H(10)N(2)S, are connected by C-H⋯N inter-actions around threefold axes. Furthermore, they form stacks along the c axis showing π-π inter-actions between pyrimidine rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.721 (1) Å]. The central ring is essentially planar with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.007 Å. The five-membered ring adopts an envelope conformati...

Controlled grafting of acetylated starch by atom transfer radical polymerization of MMA

Graft copolymers of acetylated starch oligomer (AS) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) were polymerized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). AS was converted to an ATRP macroinitiator by converting a part of the hydroxyl groups of AS to 2-bromoisobutyryl groups. Macroinitiators with varying degrees of substitution for the 2-bromoisobutyryl group were prepared. The polymerizations w...

Synthesis and applications of MANs/poly(MMA-co-BA) nanocomposite latex by miniemulsion polymerization

We have synthesized core-shell structured 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPS) functionalized antimony-doped tin oxide nanoparticles (MANs)-poly(methyl methacrylate-co-butyl acrylate) (PMMA-co-BA, PMB) nanocomposite latex particles via miniemulsion polymerization method. Polymerizable anionic surfactant DNS-86 (allyloxy polyoxyethylene(10) nonyl ammonium sulfate) was first introduced to s...
