This article describes a novel one-step method to prepare cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) from bleached bagasse pulp via ammonium persulfate (APS) oxidation. The obtained persulfate oxidation cellulose nanocrystals (POCNs) were characterized for their microstructure, crystal properties, and chemical composition. The POCNs were successfully prepared with a total yield of 44.6%. Transmission electr...

A series of poly(o-/m-toluidine-co-o-/m-chloroaniline) copolymers of different compositions were synthesized by an emulsion method with ammonium persulfate as the oxidant. The conductivity of the copolymers was two to five orders of magnitude higher than that of the homopolymers poly(o-toluidine) and poly(m-chloroaniline). Among the copolymers, the copolymer of o-toluidine and m-chloroaniline e...

In this paper, a novel gelatin-based hydrogel was synthesized through crosslinking graft copolymerization of methacrylic acid (MAA) onto gelatin, using ammonium persulfate (APS) as a free radical initiator in the presence of methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as a crosslinker. A proposed mechanism for hydrogel formation was suggested and the structure of the product was established using FTIR spectro...

This paper reviews the recent literature on the title reactions and updates a 1988 review.

In this work, a thermo-responsive and cross-linked fluoropolymer poly(2,2,2-Trifluoroethyl) methacrylate (PTFEMA) was successfully prepared by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) mediated aqueous polymerization with a thermo-responsive diblock poly(dimethylacrylamide-b-N-isopropylacrylamide) (PDMA-b-PNIPAM) that performed a dual function as both a nanoreactor and macro-RAFT ...

Hydrogels have been extensively explored for biomedical applications due to their ability to absorb high water content in its structure, which gives excellent biocompatibility. This work aims at obtaining biocompatible hydrogels with potential for use in increasing the mechanical strength of bone substitutes, or controlled drug release. Poly (N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) hydrogels were prepared by fr...

Samples of the composite cellulose with polyaniline (Cel/PAn), in which PAn is doped hydrochloric acid synthesis process, were synthesized under mass ratio Cel : aniline (An) equal 2 1. The was carried out by oxidation ammonium peroxydisulfate (APS) aqueous 0.5 M solutions presence a suspension bleached cellulose. adsorption capacity produced samples Cel/PAn regarding Cr(VI) studied used electr...

To describe and predict the leaching of Ag, Cu Sn from waste photovoltaic modules with an electrochemical-assisted process kinetic investigations were performed. In this process, peroxydisulfate is generated sulfuric acid to oxidize metals. It was found that under reaction conditions peroxymonosulfate formed as well has a major contribution process. For autocatalytic decomposition reagents dete...

INTRODUCTION Since persulfate salts are an important cause of occupational asthma (OA), we aimed to study the persistence of respiratory symptoms after a single exposure to ammonium persulfate (AP) in AP-sensitized mice. MATERIAL AND METHODS BALB/c mice received dermal applications of AP or dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) on days 1 and 8. On day 15, they received a single nasal instillation of AP or...
