We report here a novel and easy-to-handle reductive dehalogenation of 9-bromofluorene in the presence of arylaldehydes and dicarbonyl derivatives to give the corresponding fluorenyl alcohol derivatives and Darzens epoxides as by-products in tetrakis(dimethylamino)ethylene (TDAE) reaction conditions. The reaction is believed to proceed via two successive single electron transfers to generate the...

PURPOSE To determine physical characteristics of mixtures of ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVAL) and metrizamide dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide, liquid materials developed for embolization of arteriovenous malformations. METHODS EVAL and dimethyl sulfoxide were mixed in various proportions and sterilized. The viscosity and density of each mixture was measured. Precipitation times were de...

The method of diffusion wave spectroscopy is used to study the microrheology several nanofluids based on water, ethylene glycol and isopropyl alcohol with single-wall multi-wall nanotubes. Their viscosity rheology have been previously investigated, it has shown that, starting a certain concentration carbon nanotubes, are non-Newtonian viscoplastic. At same time, was experimentally established t...

Exposing plants to hypoxic conditions greatly improves their anoxic stress tolerance by enhancing the activities of glycolysis and fermentation in roots. Ethylene may also be involved in these adaptive responses because its synthesis is increased in roots under hypoxic conditions. Here it is reported that pre-treatment of wheat seedlings with an ethylene precursor, 1-aminocyclopropanecarboxylic...

in production of tissue paper, the adhesion of a liquid adhesive creping aid, compound polymer, as creping aids on the yankee dryer surface was investigated. a compound polymer was prepared based on mixing ratio of poly (amideamine)-epichlorohydrin resin (pae) as an adhesive agent, polyvinyl alcohol (pva) as a modifier agent, and cationic fatty acid (cfa) and ethylene glycol (eg) as release age...

in this research, high oxygen-barrier films were organized based on low-density polyethylene (ldpe)/ ethylene vinyl alcohol (evoh)/ polyethylene-grafted maleic anhydride (ldpe-g-ma) compatibilizer. the effects of 10–30 wt. % evoh and 0–10 wt. % ldpe-g-ma loadings on the properties of final films were evaluated. the morphology of specimens was observed by using scanning electron microscopy (sem)...
