Macroporous polymer supported nanoparticles of copper(I) iodide catalyst and macroporous polymer supported azide reagent were used to simplify the synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted-1H-1,2,3-triazoles from various benzyl halides following the green chemistry principles. This new one-pot protocol facilitates the workup of the reaction and provides the products in short times and at high yields. Hete...

We present, experimentally and theoretically, a polymer material system that supports optical spatial solitons of circular polarization. We demonstrate one-dimensional circularly polarized dark solitons supported by photoisomerization nonlinearity in a bulk polymer.

A polymer-supported Hantzsch 1,4-dihydropyridine ester was observed to be a useful selective reducing agent for the reduction of ketimines and electron-withdrawing conjugated olefins. The rate of the reduction of electron-withdrawing conjugated olefins is dependent on the nature of the conjugated substituents and could be enhanced by microwave irradiation. The reduction of (Z)-a-cyano-bbromomet...

HPMC Polymer composites were prepared by doping various concentrations of Zinc ferrite nanoparticles using solution casting method. These polymer composites were characterized using X-Ray Diffraction and conductivity measurements. The addition of nanoferrites in the polymer matrix do change the structural and the AC conductivity properties of the film, which is supported by the results obtained...
