Transition metal complexes on polymers were found to be highly efficient in many catalysis reactions. The activity of Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes of polystyrene bound Isoxazole resin have been tested towards the epoxidation of alkenes by the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. The reactions show a first order dependence on the concentration of both the substrates and the cataly...

The synthesis of polymeric nanocapsules in the approximate diameter range 40-100 nm (TEM/SEM) using catanionic surfactant vesicle templates stabilized by subcritical CO2 is demonstrated. Near equimolar aqueous solutions of the surfactants sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB) experienced immediate vesicle destabilization and precipitation in the absence of CO2...

Many attempts have been made in the application of multicellular tumor spheroids (MCTS) as a 3D tumor model to investigate their biological responses upon introduction of polymeric micelles as nanocarriers for therapeutic applications. However, the micelle penetration pathways in MCTS are not yet known. In this study, micelles (uncrosslinked, UCM) were prepared by self-assembly of block copolym...

In order to enhance the compatibilization and interfacial adhesion between epoxy and liquid carboxyl-terminated butadiene acrylonitrile (CTBN) rubber, an initiator was introduced into the mixture and heated to initiate the cross-linking reaction of CTBN. After the addition of curing agents, the CTBN/epoxy blends with a localized interpenetrating network structure were prepared. The mechanical p...

Crosslinked functionalized polymers are highly efficient in immobilizing transition metal ions. The activity of Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes of polystyrene bound Isoxazole resin have been tested towards the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. The decomposition reaction followed a first order dependence on the concentration of both the substrates and the catalyst. The metal compl...

The objective of this project was to improve the solubility poorly water soluble drugs, namely cefuroxime axetil by formulating solid dispersions with hydrophilic polymer. Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC), polyvinyl pyrrolidine (PVP) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) were used as polymeric carriers for preparation dispersion. Solid prepared solvent extraction method. Interaction effect HPMC, P...

The characteristics of initial crudes Yablunivske field (Poltava, Ukraine) and the properties blended have been examined to select ways their further processing. crude oils were found be heavy high-sulfuric without light distillates. possibility obtaining paving bitumen from under study has considered. Distilled obtained through distillation this blend was meet requirements for commercial 100/1...
