A novel polymer supported approach to nucleoside modification.

Effect of multi-walled carbon nanotube on mechanical and rheological properties of silane modified EPDM rubber

A novel mixing approach for achieving a good dispersion of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in ethylene- propylene diene monomer (EPDM) matrix has been investigated. In this approach EPDM was modified with vinyltrimethoxysilane (VTMS) during melt mixing. In addition the effect of MWCNT concentration on mechanical and rheological properties of modified EPDM has been studied. The formulated...

A Novel Approach to Population Balance Modeling of Reactive Polymer Modification Leading to Branching

Interior Modification of Nano-Porous Fillers to Fabricate High Performance Mixed Matrix Membranes

A new method is developed to enhance the gas separation properties of mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) by interior modification of an inorganic nano-porous particle. Ship-in-a-bottle (SIB), as a novel synthesis strategy, is considered to encapsulate a polyaza macrocyclic Ag-ligand complex into the zeolite Y, which is resulted in a new host-guest nano-composite. It is consequently incorporated into...

Polymer Supported Zinc Borohydride: A Stable, Efficient, Selective, and Regenerable Reducing Agent for Variety of Organic Compounds

The difficult to handle and store zinc borohydride, Zn(BH4)2, is stabilized by supporting it on polyvinylpyridine. This new mild, efficient, selective, and regenerable polymer supported borohydride reducing agent reduces a variety organic compounds such as, aldehydes, a-b-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, acid chlorides, epoxides, disu...
