Localized surface plasmon-induced photopolymerization of free-radical acrylate monomers is an efficient, smart, and versatile method for preparing metal/polymer hybrid nanoparticles (NPs) with accurate control the thickness spatial distribution polymer on NP surface. Despite a growing number practical demonstrations, mechanism leading to polymerization monomer by localized plasmon resonance (LS...

Stimulus-responsive hydrogels have been widely used in the field of drug delivery because their three-dimensional pore size and ability to change release rate with external environment. In this paper, temperature-sensitive monomer 2-methyl-2-acrylate-2-(2-methoxyethoxy-ethyl) ethyl ester (MEO2MA) oligoethylene glycol methyl ether methacrylate (OEGMA) as well pH-sensitive N,N-Diethylaminoethyl (...

Herein, mono- and disubstituted thioxanthones have been synthesized introduced as photosensitizers of iodonium salt for cationic free-radical photopolymerization epoxy an acrylate monomer, respectively. Photoinitiation activity these molecules was verified during processes performed upon exposure to visible LEDs 420, 455, 470 nm. The kinetics the followed using FT-IR spectroscopy. Moreover, dev...

The title compound, {[Nd(2)(CH(2)CHCOO)(6)(H(2)O)(3)]·3H(2)O}(n), was synthesized by hydro-thermal methods. The structure contains one-dimensional coordination polymers in which two distinct Nd(III) atoms show different coordination modes. One is coordinated by four bidentate acrylate ligands, two of which bridge Nd(III) atoms, and by two O atoms from a further two bridging acrylate ligands. Th...

Alkali metal reduction of tungsten tetrachloride in the presence of excess trimethylphosphite and ethylene affords moderate yields of trans-tetrakis(trimethylphosphite)tungsten bis(ethylene). This easily prepared species bearing inexpensive ancillary ligands promotes the oxidative coupling of carbon dioxide and ethylene at ambient temperature to produce two isomeric tetrakis(trimethylphosphite)...

Photoinitiated silane-ene chemistry has the potential to pave the way toward spatially resolved organosilicon compounds, which might find application in biomedicine, microelectronics, and other advanced fields. Moreover, this approach could serve as a viable alternative to the popular photoinitiated thiol-ene chemistry, which gives access to defined and functional photopolymer networks. A difun...

Cell enrichment is currently in high demand in medical engineering. We have reported that non-blood cells can attach to a blood-compatible poly(2-methoxyethyl acrylate) (PMEA) substrate through integrin-dependent and integrin-independent mechanisms because the PMEA substrate suppresses protein adsorption. Therefore, we assumed that PMEA analogous polymers can change the contribution of integrin...

Seven workers exposed to ultraviolet printing inks developed contact dermatitis. Six cases were allergic and one irritant. A urethane acrylate resin accounted for five cases of sensitisation, one of which was also sensitive to pentaerythritol triacrylate and another also to an epoxy acrylate resin. One instance of allergy to trimethylpropane triacrylate accounted for the sixth case of contact d...

Emulsion polymerization of (meth)acrylic bio-based monomers is a promising method to obtain waterborne coatings with reduced carbon footprint. However, the high hydrophobicity some can hinder straightforward incorporation such in dispersions. In this work, we explore copolymerization isobornyl methacrylate (IBOMA) 2-octyl acrylate (2-OA) produce latexes >70 % bio-content suitable for coating ap...

High-temperature butyl acrylate polymerizations in bulk and solution are investigated experimentally by kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC) simulations. The experimental data comprise conversion-time data, molar mass distributions, branching levels per polymer chain derived from size-exclusion chromatography with a multiangle laser light scattering detector. A kMC model is established, which allows for t...
