Schematic overview of the thiol assisted polymersome attachment and formation solid supported planar polymer membranes.

Arg-Gly-Asp peptides (RGD) were synthesized and chemically coupled to the bulk of N-(2-hydroxypropyl) methacrylamide-based polymer hydrogels. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and amino acid analysis confirmed the peptide coupling to the polymer. Activated and control (unmodified) polymer matrices were stereotaxically implanted in the striata of rat brains, and two months later the...

Due to the protection of ionic liquid polymer thin film, the long-term operation stability of carbon nanotube-supported platinum nanoparticles for methanol electrooxidation has been improved.

Bis(2-R-ind)ZrCl2 (R: H or phenyl) was supported on different types of silica by in situ impregnation method and used for ethylene polymerization. In this method, the step of catalyst loading on support was eliminated and common alkyl aluminum (triisobutylaluminum, TiBA) cocatalyst was used instead of expensive methyl aluminiumoxane (MAO) cocatalyst in the polymerization. The effect of surface ...

The design, synthesis, and catalytic application of a highly enantioselective and indefinitely stable polymer-supported Cinchona-based bifunctional sulfonamide is reported.

A polymer-supported pseudoephedrine auxiliary linked to the support through nitrogen, has been developed for use in asymmetric alkylations on solid phase.

Porous polymer supported continuous ZIF-8 membranes were prepared via an interfacial synthesis method. Membranes with only one synthesis cycle showed excellent performance in the nanofiltration range.

Background: Polymer composites when reinforced with heavy metals in the form of micro/nano particles are efficient gamma- and X-ray shielding materials providing such advantageous features as cost-effectiveness, light-weight factor, flexibility, non-toxicity, conformability over conventional shields. Materials and Methods: In this paper the influence of weight percentages and particle sizes of ...

Establishing supported lipid bilayers with biologically relevant composition, including transmembrane proteins and various classes of lipids, presents a significant challenge. We describe a generic and facile approach to the production of fluid polymer-supported lipid bilayers that allows for the incorporation of a wide variety of lipids and transmembrane proteins. The method is based on the fo...
