The complex formation between allylamine and mineral acids (HCl, H 2 SO 4, 3 PO 4 ) their stabilities were investigated by Uv-Vis, DSC TGA analyses. Free radical polymerization of salts was achieved using 2,2?-azobis (2-methylpropanediamine)dihydrochloride at 50 o C under N atmosphere in water. PAlAm synthesized the presence insoluble water due to physical crosslinking chains. They converted so...

Polymethylmethacrylate-graphene (PMMA/RGO) nanocomposites were prepared via in situ bulk polymerization using two different preparation techniques. In the first approach, a mixture of graphite oxide (GO) and methylmethacrylate monomers (MMA) were polymerized using a bulk polymerization method with a free radical initiator. After the addition of the reducing agent hydrazine hydrate (HH), the pro...

This paper presents an experimental study of the self-initiation reaction of n-butyl acrylate (n-BA) in free-radical polymerization. For the first time, the frequency factor and activation energy of the monomer self-initiation reaction are estimated from measurements of n-BA conversion in free-radical homo-polymerization initiated only by the monomer. The estimation was carried out using a macr...

A recently introduced technique, simultaneous multiple sample light scattering (SMSLS), was used to monitor parallel polymerization reactions in situ. SMSLS is designed for real-time, high-throughput screening and provides a time-dependent light scattering signature for each reaction, which contains both qualitative and semiquantitative information. Qualitatively, the signature immediately indi...

The introduction of thioester linkages into the backbone free-radical polymerization-produced polymers has received recently renewed interest due to their use in preparing (bio)degradable polymers.

Stackable gels comprised of layers of dissimilar polymers were synthesized by combining conventional free radical polymerization (FRP) and atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) using two approaches: (i) polymerization of a pre-gel solution containing a monomer and cross-linker introduced on top of a previously prepared gel, and (ii) simultaneous polymerization of two immiscible pre-gel so...

In the preparation of biomimetic materials it is often required that efficient methods of polymerization be used, often methods that can lead to biomimetic polymers with relatively narrow molecular weight distribution. Living radical polymerization techniques have successfully been used to create low polydispersity linear polymers by free-radical polymerizations. Although this technique slows d...
