In this paper the effect of a novel bifunctional additive [cyclic butylene terephthalate (CBT)] was investigated on the rheological, curing and mechanical properties of natural rubber (NR), styrene butadiene rubber (SBR), oil extended styrene butadiene rubber (oSBR), acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) and ethylene propylene diene rubber (EPDM). Results showed, that CBT acted as an effective l...

The title compound, C(15)H(12)N(2)OS(2), is an example of a push-pull butadiene in which the electron-releasing methyl-sulfanyl groups and electron-withdrawing nitrile groups on either end of the butadiene chain enhance the conjugation in the system. Short intra-molecular C-H⋯S inter-actions are observed. In the crystal structure, an O⋯C short contact of 2.917 (3) Å is observed.

Radical polymerization of unpolymerizable sterically hindered butadiene was successfully performed in the nanochannels of porous coordination polymers because of the effective suppression of unfavourable termination reactions. Microstructures of the resulting polymer could also be tuned depending on the structure of the porous hosts.

The present study was aimed to evaluate the effects of food simulating liquids and thermocycling on the elution of monomers from a nanofilled resin composite in different immersion times. Five Specimen discs were made from a nano-hybrid composite (Supreme 3M) for each group (Total = 180) and immersed in distilled water (control), citric acid, lactic acid, and 75% aqueous ethanol solution. The d...

Using facile, highly modular synthetic approaches, a new monomer family based on a 1,2,3-triazole-4-vinyl building block has been prepared, and various functional derivatives have been obtained. Subsequent homo- and copolymerization of these novel functionalized monomers gives polymeric materials with unique physical properties, combining many attractive features of more traditional monomers, s...

The crossed beams reaction of the phenyl radical (C6H5) with 1,2-butadiene (CH3HCCCH2) was studied under single collision at two collision energies. The crossed beams data were combined with electronic structure calculations on the C10H11 potential energy surface. The reaction was found to follow indirect scattering dynamics via an addition of the phenyl radical with its radical center to the s...
