We have synthesized cubic and linear polysiloxanes containing polyoxyethylene branches (ASiP-Cu) using tetraethoxysilane, glycol, copper chloride as precursors; the products are stable to self-condensation. The effect of content on chemical structure ASiP-Cu has been established. A special study was aimed at defining modifying sorption characteristics membranes based microporous, optically tran...

Because of the limited chemotherapeutic approaches available to treat reactivated latent Toxoplasma gondii infection manifested as toxoplasmic encephalitis in AIDS patients, investigation of novel chemotherapeutic agents is warranted. Several poloxamers (nonionic block copolymers composed of a central hydrophobic chain of polyoxypropylene flanked by two hydrophilic chains of polyoxyethylene) we...

An amphiphilic macro-monomer of allyl polyoxyethylene-12 ether with butyl-end group (AE12B) was synthesized, and its chemical structure was characterized. AE12B and the other two macro-monomers with different hydrophobic and hydrophilic groups were copolymerized with acrylamide to prepare the novel combshaped acrylamide copolymer (CPAM) through aqueous free radical polymerization. The solution ...

This work was aimed at evaluating the relative merits of bioaugmentation, biostimulation and surfactant-enhanced bioavailability of a desert soil contaminated by crude oil through biopile treatment. The results show that the desert soil required bioaugmentation and biostimulation for bioremediation of crude oil. The bioaugmented biopile system led to a total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) reductio...

Since 1998, Japan Soap and Detergent Association has been continuously evaluating the concentrations of four surfactants used in household detergents and fabric conditioners in river surface water: linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS), polyoxyethylene alkyl ether (AE), alkyldimethylamine oxide (AO) and dialkyl dimethylammonium chloride (DADMAC) in Japanese urban rivers, in order to assess the ri...
