Photopolymerization is an environmentally-friendly, non-destructive, safe and solvent-free method. Moreover it guarantees low energy consumption. Therefore the photopolymerization used in many scientific disciplines, including dentistry for production photocurable dental materials. In this work, new photoinitiating systems based on camphoroquinone (CQ) iodonium salts with tosyl anion initiation...

This work reports the preparation and characterization of fully bio-based polymer composites with coconut fibers (CFs) as an alternative to wood-plastic (WPCs), typically based on petroleum derived materials. Polyamide 1010 (PA1010) was melt-extruded 20 wt% CFs and, after that, shaped into pieces by injection molding. Four different multi-functionalized compatibilizers were tested increase poly...

This investigation indicates the ability to selectively graft glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) only from the external surface of regenerated cellulose (RC) ultrafiltration (UF) membranes using activator generated electron transfer (AGET) atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). This controlled polymerization resulted in epoxy functionalized polymer brush ends. Further reaction of the terminal ep...
