The structure of softly supported polymer-cushioned lipid bilayers, prepared in two different ways at the quartz-solution interface, were determined using neutron reflectometry. The polymer cushion consisted of a thin layer of branched, cationic polyethyleneimine (PEI), and the bilayers were formed by adsorption of small unilamellar dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) vesicles. When vesicles ...

An efficient soluble polymer-supported method has been developed for the parallel synthesis of substituted benzimidazole linked benzoxazoles using focused microwave irradiation. The key step involves the amidation of 4-hydroxy-3-nitrobenzoic acid with polymer-immobilized o-phenylenediamine. Application of mild acidic conditions promoted the ring closure to furnish the benzimidazole ring. After ...

AuNCs supported on PNIPAM and PAAM polymer matrices were synthesized characterized. Nanomaterials are selective sensitive to detect mercury in water by fluorescence.

A rhodium carbonylation catalyst is supported on dispersible microporous polymer nanoparticles, facilitating in situ kinetic measurements for a key step of the catalytic cycle.

A cleavable linker strategy has been used to optimise the enolate alkylation reactions of a recyclable L-tyrosine derived polymer-supported oxazolidin-2-one for the asymmetric synthesis of a series of chiral alpha-alkyl acids.

A system involving two polymer-supported reagents for the selective and organocatalytic oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes or ketones has been developed in which both polymeric reagents can be recovered and reused.
