Porous hyperbranched conjugated polymer nanoparticles with an average particle size of 20-60 nm and a specific surface area of 225 m(2) g(-1) have been prepared through Suzuki polymerization in a miniemulsion, which could be stably dispersed in common organic solvents after complete removal of surfactants. Furthermore, a simple spin-coating method for the preparation of homogeneous transparent ...

Macromonomeric azo initiators (macroinimers, MIM) which have the properties of macromonomers, macrocrosslinkers and macroinitiators in a macrostructure were used in miniemulsion polymerization of styrene in the presence or absence of any other stabilizer and initiator. MIMs were prepared from the reaction of 4,40-dicyano-4,40-azovaleryl chloride, with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) of different mo...

w       ater born poly(styrene-butyl acrylate)/clay nanocomposite latexes were synthesized by a novel initiating system of activators generated by   electron transfer (aget) in a system of atom transfer radical polymerization   (atrp). initially, the clay was swelled in a mixture of styrene, butyl acrylate,   and hexadecane. the mixture was then sonicated to obtain a stable miniemulsion. to   s...

The current spraying of agrochemicals is unselective and ineffective, consuming a high amount fungicides, which endangers the environment human health. Cellulose-based nanocarriers (NCs) are promising tool in sustainable agriculture suitable vehicles for stimuli-responsive release to target cellulase-segregating fungi, cause severe plant diseases such as Apple Canker. Herein, cellulose was modi...
