Water Repellent and Antibacterial Modification of Cellulose using Fluoroalkyl End-Capped Oligomers.

Antibacterial Modification of Microcrystalline Cellulose by Grafting Copolymerization

Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) has the advantage of a high specific surface area as compared to that of conventional cellulose fibers. In this study the monomer methacrylamide (MAM) was used to treat MCC by grafting copolymerization. SEM, FTIR, and solid C NMR were used to characterize the morphology and composition of MAM-g-MCC. After the chlorination of MAM-g-MCC with 10% sodium hypochlorit...

End-capped Oligomers of Ethylene, Olefins and Dienes, by means of Coordinative Chain Transfer Polymerization using Rare Earth Catalysts

Loop-Closure and Gaussian Models of Collective Structural Characteristics of Capped PEO Oligomers in Water.

Parallel-tempering MD results for a CH3(CH2-O-CH2)mCH3 chain in water are exploited as a database for analysis of collective structural characteristics of the PEO globule with a goal of defining models permitting statistical thermodynamic analysis of dispersants of Corexit type. The chain structure factor, relevant to neutron scattering from a deuterated chain in null water, is considered speci...

Antibacterial Modification of Textiles Using Nanotechnology

This chapter is undertaken with a view to survey important scientific research and developmental works pertaining to antibacterial modification of textiles using nanotechnology as a new means to achieve such textiles. Inevitably, conventional antimicrobial agents and their applications to textiles are reported. This is followed by a focus on inorganic nanostructured materials that acquire good ...
