The coordination polymerization of ethylene in water as a reaction medium was studied. Rubbery amorphous branched polyethylene was obtained when a known cationic diimine-substituted methyl complex was employed as a catalyst precursor. High rates of up to 900 TOh(-1) (turnover frequency) were observed. In contrast to solution polymerization in an organic solvent, the rate of suspension polymeriz...

Organic–inorganic hybrid materials have attracted much interest because of their novel and specific characteristics. One method to obtain these materials is in situ polymerization through free-radical polymerization. In this study, styrene monomers were covalently linked to silica (SiO2) using the suspension polymerization technique. In the reaction process, benzoyl peroxide was used as an init...

This work demonstrates the use of canola oil as a biologically compatible solvent for thiol–ene driven suspension polymerization that effectively creates micron-sized particles.

cellulose was modified by polystyrene (ps) and polyacrylonitrile (pan) via free radical and living radical polymerization, and then cellulose was used as the matrix in the preparation of polymer/clay nanocomposite, through a solution intercalation method. for this purpose, first, the graft polymerization of styrene (st) onto cellulose fibers was performed by using suspension polymerization and ...
