Polymer membranes have been modified with hyperbranched polymers with the aim to generate a high density of hydrophilic functional groups at the membrane surface. For this purpose hyperbranched polymers containing amino, alcohol, and carboxylic acid end groups were used for membrane modification, respectively. Thus, surface potential and charges were changed significantly to result in attractiv...

The self-assembly of a stimuli-responsive aqueous supramolecular hyperbranched polymer from small molecules is reported. This system is composed of ditopic and tritopic guest-functionalised molecules that are able to form heteroternary supramolecular complexes with the macrocyclic host cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]). We demonstrate that the supramolecular hyperbranched polymer formed is responsive to ...

The new highly active supported vanadium-magnesium catalyst (VMC) has been studied in α-olefin (1-butene, 1-hexene)/ ethylene copolymerization in the presence of hydrogen. Data on the effect of α-olefin/ethylene ratio in copolymerization on the content of branchings in copolymers, kinetic profile, copolymer yield, molecular weight and molecular weight distribution of copolymers have been obtain...

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...

Dyeing properties of compounded polyethylene terephthalate fibers with a polyesteramide hyperbranched polymer were investigated in terms of their thermodynamic parameters, including standard affinity -Δμ⁰, enthalpy change ΔH⁰ and entropy change ΔS⁰. Results were then compared with corresponding properties of the virgin PET. The results showed that the isotherms were similar to that of virgin PE...

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...

Hybrid nanosheets of hyperbranched poly(ether amine) are demonstrated as a novel 2D-platform for metal nanoparticles, which makes metal nanoparticles transfer reversibly between oil and water phases.

Highly active metallocenes and other single site catalysts have opened up the possibility of polymerizing cycloolefins such as norbornene (N) or of copolymerizing them with ethene (E) or propene (P). The polymers obtained show exciting structures and properties. E-N copolymers are industrially produced materials, with variable and high glass transitions depending on the wide range of their micr...

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 ...

Water-soluble porphyrins can be phase transferred by the hyperbranched multiarm copolymer PEI-PZLys; good catalytic activities and recyclabilities were observed for oxidation catalyzed by the encapsulated porphyrins.
