maleic anhydride (man) copolymers with methyl methacrylate(mma), ethyl methacrylate(ema), methyl acrylate(ma), ethyl acrylate (ea) and buthyl acrylate (ba) ( in a 1:1 mole ratio) were synthesized by free radical polymerizations method under vacuum -azobis(isobutironitrile)(aibn) as an initiator of reaction at 701c. the copolymer compositions were determined using related 1h nmr spectra techni...

Current polymer terminology only describes very simple copolymer structures such as block, graft, alternating periodic, or statistical copolymers. This restricted vocabulary implies that copolymers exhibit either segregated (i.e., block and graft), regular (i.e., alternating and periodic), or uncontrolled (i.e., statistical or random) comonomer sequence distributions. This standard classificati...

Permeability of block copolymers is an important feature for a broad range of applications including packaging, bio-materials (e.g. for controlled release or encapsulating membranes), barrier materials, high performance impermeable breathable clothing and membrane separation processes. This paper reviews the literature on permeability of block copolymers to pure or mixed vapors and liquids for ...

4-chloromethyl styrene homopolymer and its copolymers with styrene were prepared from their corresponding 4-chloromethyl styrene and styrene monomers at 1:0, 1:1, 1:3 and 1:5 mole ratios. these homo- and copolymerswere synthesized by radical polymerization in presence of aibn as initiator and dry toluene as solvent. then, chloromethyl groups were converted into azidomethyl groups on the homo- a...

water soluble amphoteric graft copolymers of polysaccharide were synthesized via grafting of cationic monomer onto the sodium carboxymethylcellulose ()cmc)( and then used as a shale stabilizer in the water-based drilling fluids. accordingly, five types of cmc-graft copolymers with different ratios of acrylamide am)( and diallyldimethylammonium chloride dadmac)( were synthesized. grafting of mon...

Copolymers of Acrylonitrile with Isobornyl acrylate (IBA) and Isobornyl Methacrylate (IBM) were synthesized by free radical polymerization using AIBN as initiator in dimethyl formamide (DMF) at 60 ± 1°C. Thermo gravimetric analysis of the copolymers was performed and their thermal stabilities were studied. Thermal stability of IBM copolymers is found to be more than that of IBA copolymers. The ...

block copolymer nano-micelles are especially important in cancer treatment because of their fine dimensions. in this article, three systems of amphiphilic copolymers with similar lengths and different ratios of the hydrophobic and hydrophilic chains are studied using implicit-solvent coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations. the factor fphil is defined as the ratio of the number of hydroph...

linear–dendrite copolymers containing hyper branched poly(citric acid) and linear poly(ethylene glycol) blocks pca–peg–pca are promising nonmaterial to use  in nanomedicine. to investigate their potential application in biological systems (especially for drug carries) oniom2 calculations were applied to study the nature of particular interactions between drug and the polymeric nanoparticles.  b...

sio2-supported silyl chromate catalyst is an important industrial catalyst for production of high grade hdpepipe materials. the control of the short chain branch (scb) distribution using this catalyst system is still a greatchallenge. in this work, ethylene and 1-hexene copolymers were synthesized using sio2-supported silyl chromatecatalyst combined with triisobutylaluminium (tiba), triethylalu...
