The effect of γ-radiation dosage on the thermal stability cross-linked acrylic polymer "Carbomer-140" (СRB) was investigated. DTA, TGA, and DTG curves show multistage processes occurring in different temperature ranges heating CRB from 25 °C to 500 °C. rates decomposition were determined 40–110 °C, 180–260 260–330 330–500 In combination with results electronic structure calculations, potential ...

It was advised to use aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, aromatic petroleum resins and their derivatives obtained by oxidation of with a mixture hydrogen peroxide acetic acid as bitumen polymer-modifiers. Petroleum were ionic polymerization unsaturated compounds liquid pyrolysis products under the influence titanium tetrachloride-diethylaluminium chloride catalyst. established that maximum values adhes...

Atriblock copolymerof polystyrene-polybutadiene-polystyrene (KratonD1102)hasbeenused topattern barium titanate precursor with nanoscale modulations. The copolymer self-assembles to yield cylindrical polystyrene nanodomains in a polybutadiene matrix. The preorganized thin films of polymer are then selectively OH-functionalized in situ on the unsaturated carbon bonds in the polybutadiene matrix w...

The study of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) as organocatalysts has proliferated in recent years, and they have been found to be useful in a variety of reactions. In an attempt to further expand their utility and to study their recyclability, we designed and synthesized a series of self-supported NHCs in which the catalytic carbene groups form part of a densely functionalized polymer backbone, a...

Polymer concrete (PC) is a composite construction material that boasts several advantages, such as lightness, low water permeability, high resistance to corrosive environments, and chemical degradation. Consequently, it has recently attracted interest an alternative the traditional ones for civil applications. In this study, unsaturated polyester resin was considered matrix phase of PC. Aimed p...

Current research concentrates on the impact properties of a particle reinforced polymer matrix composite material. The composite material consists of unsaturated polyester resin that is reinforced with aluminium hydroxide. Aluminium hydroxide acts as the hard phase and polyester as the binding agent. The aim of the work was to understand how the particle size and the filler material’s mass frac...

A macromonomer 5 consisting of a polymerizable vinylcyclopropane end group and a poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (poly(NiPAAm)) chain was obtained from amidation of 1-ethoxycarbonyl-2-vinylcyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (4) with an amino-terminated poly(NiPAAm) 3 as an example. This macromonomer 5 showed an LCST effect after complexation of the vinyl end group with ß-cyclodextrin in water. Via radi...
