An investigation of a sol-gelÕmelt transition: The poly„ethylene oxide...ÕmethanolÕLiClO4 system

چکیده
The crossover behavior of 50 000 molar mass poly~ethylene oxide!/methanol solutions from dilute solution to the melt/gel was examined. At first this behavior was investigated without LiClO4 and then reexamined with LiClO4 . To better understand this behavior, the dependencies of dynamic light scattering ~specifically, photon correlation spectroscopy! measurement results on polymer concentration, on the scattering wave vector and on temperature, and the dependence of static light scattering results on the scattering wave vector were studied. This study produced interesting and important results about network structure and behavior in poly~ethylene oxide! solutions and melts generally and about the effects of LiClO4 on this structure and behavior more particularly. © 2004 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1697386#

Effect of Ethylene Oxide Functional Groups in PEBA-CNT Membranes on CO2/CH4 Mixed Gas Separation
Poly (ether-block-amide) /poly (ethylene glycol)/ carbon nanotubes mixed matrix membranes have been successfully fabricated using solvent evaporation method to determine the effect of ethylene oxide groups on the performance of produced membranes. The effects of CNTs (2-8 wt%) and PEG (up to 50 wt%)were investigated in both single and mixed gas test setup in different temperature and pressure. ...
متن کاملCharacterization and Antimicrobial Activity of N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone-loaded Ethylene Oxide-Propylene Oxide Block Copolymer Thermosensitive Gel
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone on the thermosensitive properties of aqueous ethylene oxide-propylene oxide block copolymer (Lutrol(®) F127) system. Due to the aqueous solubility enhancement and biocompatibility, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone is an interesting solubilizer for the poorly water soluble drugs to be incorporated in the Lutrol(®) F127 syste...
متن کاملResponsive supramolecular gels constructed by crown ether based molecular recognition.
Responsive supramolecular gels were constructed from crown ether terminated four-arm star poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL-DB24C8) and dibenzylammonium-terminated two-arm PCL-DBAS (see scheme), exploiting the formation of pseudorotaxane linkages between crown ether and ammonium moieties. The resultant supramolecular gels exhibit thermo- and pH-induced reversible gel-sol transition.
متن کاملIn vitro drug release behavior from a novel thermosensitive composite hydrogel based on Pluronic f127 and poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(ε-caprolactone)-poly(ethylene glycol) copolymer
BACKGROUND Most conventional methods for delivering chemotherapeutic agents fail to achieve therapeutic concentrations of drugs, despite reaching toxic systemic levels. Novel controlled drug delivery systems are designed to deliver drugs at predetermined rates for predefined periods at the target organ and overcome the shortcomings of conventional drug formulations therefore could diminish the ...
متن کاملModification of Polyaniline/Polystyrene and Polyaniline/Metal Oxide Structure by Surfactant
Polyaniline/polystyrene (PAni/PS) composites were prepared in aqueous solution by polymerization of styrene and aniline in two-stages. Firstly styrene polymerize by using Ammonium persulfate (APS) as an oxidant in the presence of various surfactants such as poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP), hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC), poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and surfactive dopant sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate...
