Styrene-butadiene-styrene Tri-block Copolymers Modified with Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxanes

Synthesis and Characterisation of Styrene Butadiene Styrene Based Grafted Copolymers for Use in Potential Biomedical Applications

In the annals of history the evolution of the synthetic rubber industry can be traced to the early 1930s where the first emulsion polymerised styrene butadiene rubber known as Buna S was prepared by I. G. Farbenindustrie in Germany. But it was not until the US Government in 1940 established the Rubber Reserve Company, a stockpile of natural rubber and the development of a synthetic rubber progr...

Butadiene and Styrene Risks

The control of cell proliferation by gastrin has been investigated in a rat pancreatic tumour cell line, AR4-2J. Exogenous gastrin, 10-12 to 10-8 M, stimulated cell growth of thymidine-synchronised AR4-2J cells cultured over 48 h in serum-free medium. Cell lysates of AR4-2J cells contained an average of 4.5 and 3.5 pg gastrin per 106 cells, when grown in serum-supplemented or serum-free media, ...

Magnetic properties of barium ferrite dispersed within polystyrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymers.

Magnetic properties of nanocomposite materials obtained by dispersing barium ferrite nanoparticles within polystyrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer, in the temperature range, 300 to 500 K are reported. The temperature dependence of the magnetization at saturation, averaged uniaxial magnetocrystalline anisotropy, and coercive field of thick films are analyzed. A "matrix effect" was noticed w...
