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...

methods this randomized, crossover study with parallel design was conducted in 45 patients who required maintenance hemodialysis due to end-stage renal failure. four patients with known bleeding disorders, receiving anticoagulant drugs and receiving drugs which could affect heparin activity were excluded. all patients were randomly assigned to receive either enoxaparin sodium (0.7 mg/kg) or sta...

In this study, the relationship between skin structure and shear strength distribution of thin-wall injection molded polypropylene (PP) molded at different molecular weight and molecular distribution was investigated. Skin-core structure, cross-sectional morphology, crystallinity, crystal orientation, crystal morphology and molecular orientation were evaluated by using polarized optical microsc...

A novel method is presented for the calculation of weight chain length distribution in free radical polymerization of vinyl monomers. In the proposed method, polymerization kinetic equations and molecular weight moment equations are used in conjunction with a function that defines the weight fraction of polymer in a finite chain length interval. The entire range of molecular weight is divided i...
