Photo-induced cationic polymerizations of styrene and x-methylstyrene, which are weak electron donors and contain no hetero atom, were carried out in the presence of electron acceptors such as tetracyanobenzene and pyromellitic dianhydride to elucidate the polymerization mechanism initiated through an excited charge transfer interaction. Cyclohexene oxide was also polymerized by photo-illuminat...

in this work, the interfacial interfacial polymerization (ip) technique was employed using terephthaloyl chloride (tpc) and p-phenylenediamine (ppd), as reactant monomers, to prepare poly(paraphenylene terephthalamide) thin film composite (tfc) nanofiltration on polyethersulphone (pes) support layer. the effects of six different anionic and non-ionic surfactants, in the aqueous phase on the mor...

Silica scaling potential from geothermal waters puts limits on to what extent the heat from the water can be extracted. Once the waters become over-saturated with respect to amorphous silica, the handling of such waters becomes problematic. Many methods have been proposed to address this problem. One of them is aging the geothermal waste water allowing monomeric silica in excess of amorphous si...
