Syndiotactic‐specific radical polymerization of N‐isopropylacrylamide in toluene at low temperatures in the presence of silyl alcohols

The radical polymerization of N‐isopropylacrylamide was carried out in toluene at low temperatures in the presence of silyl alcohols, such as triethylsilanol. Poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide) with a...

Low‐molecular‐weight polytetrafluoro‐ethylene bearing thermally stable perfluoroalkyl end‐groups prepared in supercritical carbon dioxide

Low‐molecular‐weight (Mn) polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) homopolymers were successfully prepared using a perfluorodiacyl initiator, bis(perfluoro‐2‐n‐propoxypropionyl) peroxide, in supercritical...

Thiol‐ene/clay nanocomposite thin film as novel transparent barrier

Thiol‐ene/clay (TE/clay) nanocomposite thin films were prepared by a simple photocuring process for use as transparent barrier films. In this work, tetrafunctional thiol and triene monomer were...

Preparation of polystyrene–clay nanocomposites via dispersion polymerization using oligomeric styrene‐montmorillonite as stabilizer

This study describes the preparation of polystyrene–clay nanocomposite (PS‐nanocomposite) colloidal particles via free‐radical polymerization in dispersion. Montmorillonite clay (MMT) was...

Ionomer‐based polyurethanes: a comparative study of properties and applications

Polyurethanes cover a large range of materials exhibiting various physical and mechanical properties making them useful in different applications such as elastomers or biomaterials, for instance. The...

Soft nanoconfinement effects on the crystallization behavior of asymmetric poly(ethylene oxide)‐block‐poly(ε‐ caprolactone) diblock copolymers

The time‐ and temperature‐related crystallization process for the structure transitions of asymmetric crystalline‐crystalline diblock copolymers from the melt to crystallites was investigated with...

A multiple emulsion method for loading 5‐fluorouracil into a magnetite‐loaded nanocapsule: a physicochemical investigation

The preparation of 5‐fluorouracil (5‐FU) loaded poly(lactic‐co‐glycolic acid) (PLGA) biodegradable nanocapsules containing magnetite nanoparticles was studied through the modified multiple emulsion...

Improvements of electromechanical properties of gelatin hydrogels by blending with nanowire polypyrrole: effects of electric field and temperature

Nanowire‐polypyrrole/gelatin hydrogels were fabricated by dispersion of nanowire‐polypyrrole into a gelatin aqueous solution followed by solvent casting. The electromechanical properties, thermal...
