Crosslinking of EPDM and NBR/EPDM Blends with Polyfunctional Allyl and/or Vinyl Compounds.

Cellulosic Polymer Blends 1: With Vinyl Polymers

This chapter reviews recent studies on blends of conventional cellulose esters (CEs), such as cellulose acetate (CA), cellulose propionate (CP), and cellulose butyrate (CB), with non-crystalline vinyl (co)polymers mainly comprising the N-vinyl pyrrolidone (VP) unit. The mixing behavior of the CE/VP-containing copolymer blends is seriously affected by the chain length (i.e., carbon number) and d...

detection of volatile compounds of medicinal plants with some nano-sorbents using modified or new methodologies and investigation of antioxidant activity of their methanolic extracts

in this work, a novel and fast method for direct analysis of volatile compounds (davc) of medicinal plants has been developed by holding a filament from different parts of a plant in the gc injection port. the extraction and analysis of volatile components of a small amount of plant were carried out in one-step without any sample preparation. after optimization of temperature, extraction time a...

Synthesis of telechelic vinyl / allyl functional siloxane copolymers with structural

Intramolecular crosslinking of poly(vinyl alcohol)

Poly(vinyl alcohol) is crosslinked in dilute solution (c = 0.1 wt%) with glutaraldehyde. The reaction product is characterized by viscometry and gel permeation chromatography (g.p.c.). The intrinsic viscosity decreases with increasing degree of crosslinking and does not depend on temperature. G.p.c. reveals that the reaction product is not homogeneous, but consists of a mixture of particles wit...

Enantioselective hydroformylation of N-vinyl carboxamides, allyl carbamates, and allyl ethers using chiral diazaphospholane ligands.

Rhodium complexes of diazaphospholane ligands catalyze the asymmetric hydroformylation of N-vinyl carboxamides, allyl ethers, and allyl carbamates; products include 1,2- and 1,3-aminoaldehydes and 1,3-alkoxyaldehydes. Using glass pressure bottles, short reaction times (generally less than 6 h), and low catalyst loading (commonly 0.5 mol %), 20 substrates are successfully converted to chiral ald...
