Unsaturated polyester and epoxy vinyl ester resins have broad utility in composite applications. Today’s commercially available premium thermal performance vinyl ester resins are derived from novolac epoxies and methacrylic acid. These products combine low viscosity with shelf stable, yet fast curing properties, and enable fabricators to manufacture composite parts with rapid throughput for dem...

The reactivities of alkaline NH(2)OH and neutral NaHSO(3) with carbonyl and olefinic groups conjugated with the tetrapyrrole nucleus of haems were studied. The reactions were carried out with 2-3nmol of haem a, spirographis haem, isospirographis haem, 2,4-diacetyldeuterohaem and protohaem. Vinyl side chains were found to be insensitive to the chemical action of both alkaline NH(2)OH and neutral...

A 48-h treatment with vinyl acetate (0.05-1 mM) induced a drastic increase in sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) and (in first division cells) structural chromosome aberrations in cultured human lymphocytes. The effects were more pronounced in cultures of isolated lymphocytes than in whole-blood cultures. A distinct dose-dependent induction of SCEs similarly occurred in Chinese hamster ovary cel...

The thermal decomposition of 86 % vinyl chloride 14 % vinyl acetate copolymer wasstudied by the conductometry technique in the presence of nitrogen. The kinetics of stability andthermal degradation of vinyl chloride- co- vinyl acetate (PVC- co- PVAc) copolymer withcopper, copper oxide and tricalcium dicitrate (st) were investigated at various temperatures (150-180 oC ) in solution. The rate coe...

Graft polymerizations of vinyl acetate onto granular corn starch were initiated by cobalt-60 irradiation of starch-monomer-water mixtures. and ungrafted poly(vinyl acetate) was separated from the graft copolymer by benzene extraction. Conversions of monomer to polymer were quantitative at a radiation dose of 1.0 IvIrad. However, over half of the polymer was present as ungrafted poly(vinyl aceta...

Multiple studies have explored using cage silsesquioxanes (SQs) as backbone elements in hybrid polymers motivated by their well-defined structures and physical mechanical properties. As part of this general exploration, we report unexpected photophysical properties copolymers derived from divinyl double decker (DD) SQs, [vinyl(Me)Si(O0.5)2][PhSiO1.5]8[(O0.5)2Si(Me)vinyl] (vinylDDvinyl). These e...

we have recently synthesized [ni (map) ] complex [h-map= 2- (methylamino) pyridine]. 2- (methy1amino)pyridine reacts with meli in thf and generates the lithium salt (li-map). further reaction of nicl with two equivalent of this ligand in thf leads to the formation of a dark red solution. analytical data, molecular weight, and magnetic susceptibility of this complex confirm the formula [ni (map)...

Hydrophobie Vinyl Compound, Enhancement Effect, Enzymatic Hydrolysis, Waste Paper Enzymatic hydrolysis o f waste papers in the presence of various vinyl compounds was carried out, and the addition o f the compounds such as methyl methacrylate, styrene, and vinyl acetate increased glucose yield resulting from the acceleration of the rate of the enzymatic hydrolysis. The optimum conditions existe...
