Complexes of oxovanadium(lV) with N,N' -ethylene-bis-(2-aminobenzamide) [EBAB], N,N ' -propylene-bis-(2ami nobenzamide) [PBAB], N.N ' -(o-phenylene)-bis-(2-aminobenzamide) [PhBAB] , N,N' -ethylene-bis-(3-carboxypropenamide) [EBCP], N,N' -propylene-bis-(3-carboxypropenamide) [PBCP]and 1-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)-3-phenyl-I ,3-propanedione [HPPPD] have been prepared and characterized by chemical analyse...

The reverse Pluronic, triblock copolymer 17R4 is formed from poly(propylene oxide) (PPO) and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO): PPO14 - PEO24 - PPO14, where the number of monomers in each block is denoted by the subscripts. In water, 17R4 has a micellization line marking the transition from a unimer network to self-aggregated spherical micelles which is quite near a cloud point curve above which the s...

The relationship between molecular architecture and the nature of interactions with lipid bilayers has been studied for a series of poly(ethylene oxide)-b-poly(propylene oxide)-b-poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO-PPO-PEO) triblock copolymers using small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and thermal analysis (differential scanning calorimetry, DSC). The number of molecular repeat units in the hydrophobic po...

a series of ethylene-propylene-2-ethylidenebicyclo [2.2.1] hept.5-ene terpolymers (epdm) have been prepared using a vocl3/al2et3cl3 catalyst under various al/v ratios and diene concentrations via solution polymerization and characterized by ftir, mooney viscosity (ml1+4,125oc), and thermal gravimetery analyzing. the polymerization yield was seen to increase with augmentation of the al/v ratio a...

The solution properties of water-soluble amphiphiles in nonaqueous polar solvents are important in the elucidation of the effects of solvent quality on self-assembly and also in practical applications where the use of water as a solvent is undesirable. We studied the self-assembly of a poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide) (PEO-PPO) block copolymer (Pluronic P105: EO37PO58EO37) in formamid...

A new product (Application 460B-00) from Agilent Technologies/WassonECE uses a 5973N GC/MSD (gas chromatograph/mass selective detector) for the determination of trace levels of impurities that are moderate-to-low carbon-content such as oxygenates, mercaptans, sulfides, arsine, and phosphine in ethylene and propylene. This work describes the performance of Application 460B-00 with respect to lin...

In many lubrication processes, lubricating oils containing polymer additives are subject to high shear rate through very small clearance channels. While the influence of shear rate on the performance of these lubricants has been well examined, very little is known about the effects of channel size. In this study a specially designed microchannel viscometer has been used to experimentally charac...
