The use of electro-induced Mo and W-based catalysts has been investigated in the ring opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of 1,3,5,7-cyclooctatetraene (COT). The soluble and conjugated polyacetylene (PA) was obtained ...

This work presents a new approach to synthesize the colloidal ODA-MMT-poly(maleic anhydride-alt-1-dodecene)g-alpha,omega-methoxyhydroxyl-PEO/silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) nanohybrid composites (NHC) using the following ...

The paper focuses on a series of blends prepared with different contents of polystyrene-block-poly-(ethylene-ran-butylene)-block-polystyrene (SEBS) and polypropylene (PP) for the purpose of examining the potential as proton ...

Hydrogels with varying cross-linking densities and average molecular weights between two consecutive cross-links were prepared from the binary poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone)/water and ternary poly(Nw-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone)/water/K2S2O8 ...

2-Chloro-polyaniline (2Cl-PANI) is chemically prepared in its non-conducting (Emeraldine Base, EB) form and dissolved together with polyvinylchloride (PVC) in THF for casting into thin (10-50 mu m) composite films. The ...

Methyl methacrylate (MMA) was copolymerized with triethoxyvinylsilane (TEVS) using Co-60-gamma radiation at varying masses of the liquid monomers in the feed. Their homopolymers PMMA and PTEVS were also prepared by the ...
