Abstract The epoxidation reaction of the vegetable oil derivative methyl oleate with tert-butyl hydroperoxide in presence amorphous Ti–SiO 2 catalysts prepared by different methods using various silica sources was carried out. conditions were optimized. relation between properties such as specific surface area well titanium dispersion and catalytic performance focus investigation. Based on resu...

This study analyzes the mechanisms of long-chain fatty acid (LCFA) uptake by human microvascular endothelial cells (HMEC). The time course revealed the presence of an early, carrier-mediated uptake component and a later component mediated by clathrin-coated vesicles (CCV) and caveolae, as evidenced by three different experimental approaches: 1) significant reduction of [3H]oleate uptake over 5 ...

The oxo-diperoxo molybdenum(VI) complex MoO(O(2))(2).2QOH (QOH = 8-quinilinol) was prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and UV-Vis spectra. The ionic liquids (ILs) [bmim][BF(4)], [hydemim][BF(4)], and [bmim][PF(6)] were characterized by (1)H-NMR and UV-Vis spectra. The epoxidation of a technical mixture of methyl oleate and methyl linoleate with H(2)O(2), in [bmim][BF(4)], [hyde...

The focus of this work was to improve the aqueous emulsion polymerization of a highly water-insoluble monomer derived from plant oil, acrylated methyl oleate. Conventional emulsion polymerization requires excessive amounts of surfactant and long reaction time. Miniemulsion polymerization improved the polymerization significantly. Only a fraction of the surfactant and reaction time that was nece...
