Poly-α-acetoxy-4-vinylpyridine

Polyoxometalate-modulated self-assembly of polystyrene-block-poly(4-vinylpyridine).

Polyoxometalates can serve as active components to induce and modulate the micellization behavior of polystyrene-block-poly(4-vinylpyridine).

Poly(vinylpyridine oxides) in pneumoconiosis research.

Poly(vinylpyridine oxides) in pneumo-coniosis research. Schlipkoter and Brockhaus of the Institut fur Lufthygiene Dusseldorf found that poly(2-vinylpyridine 1-oxide) can inhibit the fibrosis normally produced by quartz dust in the lungs or other tissues of animals. Later research in Germany and elsewhere has confirmed the earlier observations. The polymer is active when the quartz is administer...

Origin of the Difference in Order-Disorder Transition Temperature between Polystyrene-block-poly(2-vinylpyridine) and Polystyrene-block-poly(4-vinylpyridine) Copolymers

Three polystyrene-block-poly(2-vinylpyridine) (S2VP diblock) and three polystyrene-block-poly(4-vinylpyridine) (S4VP diblock) copolymers with varying molecular weights and block compositions were synthesized via anionic polymerization, and their order-disorder transition temperatures (TODTs) were determined using oscillatory shear rheometry and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). It has been f...

Thermal and FTIR Characterization of Poly (4-vinylpyridine) Crosslinked with Metal Salts

Self-aggregated phosphorescent platinum(II) polymeric material from modified poly(4-vinylpyridine).

A solvochromic material made from incorporation of photoluminescent Pt(II)([formula: see text]) moieties into commercially available homopolymer poly(4-vinylpyridine) exhibits different emission energies, due to different degrees of self-aggregation in various solvents and as thin film upon exposure to vapour of different volatile organic compounds (VOC); self-aggregation enables intra- and int...
