Having external control over fundamental properties of polymers, such as their physical state, is a crucial yet challenging design criterion for smart materials. Liquifying polymers through photochemical events has significantly advanced various research lines. However, the opposite process solidifying polymer that intrinsically in liquid state reversibly with light unattained. Herein, light-co...

this study describes the synthesis of molecularly imprinted polymers (mips) by using an anti-che ops, namely dursban, as a template. non-covalent bulk polymerization was successfully applied to synthesis different imprinted and non-imprinted polymers with maa, mma, aa, and 4-vpy as monomer in selected porogens (chloroform, toluene, and acetonitrile). in order to evaluate the template binding of...

Selective flocculation has long been suggested as a method for the treatment of ultra-fine particles typical of which are those produced in a de-sliming process ahead of flotation. In this paper the results of the coal de-mineralization, using synthetic polyacrylamide polymers, are presented. A prescreening test on the suitability of the polymers using Run-Of-Mine (R.O.M.) coal and artificial m...

The elevation of carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the atmosphere is responsible for global warming which turn causes abrupt climate change and consequently poses a threat to living organisms coming years. To reduce CO2 content capture separation highly necessary. Among various methods post-combustion very much useful because its operational simplicity applicability many industries power sectors, ...

background: cattle can be considered as an important source for herbicides through nutrition. therefore, herbicide residue in animal products is a potential human exposure to herbicides causing public health problems in human life. triazines are a group of herbicides primarily used to control broadleaf weeds in corn and other feed ingredients and are considered as possible human carcinogens. to...

Self-switchable polymerization is an attractive strategy for precisely controlling the microstructures and monomer sequences of polymers. To date, catalysts are generally lim...
