The high molecular weight poly (ethylene oxide) was used to synthesize telechelic bromine terminated poly (ethylene oxide) polymers. The low molecular weight polystyrene anion was generated by living anionic polymerization by controlling monomer/initiator ratio. The living polystyrene anion was reacted with telechelic bromine terminated poly (ethylene oxide) polymers to obtain water soluble pol...

Flooding of gas diffusion electrodes (GDEs) used in electrochemical conversion CO2 to ethylene is caused by polymerization minor products. The polymer so created reduces the hydrophobicity GDE, leading initially a reduction yield and finally complete failure.

An innovative methodology for the preparation of high-performance polyolefin-based materials combining a unique dendrimeric silica carrier, straightforward in situ supporting procedure and ethylene polymerization technique was developed.
