modification of natural polymers like protein by graft co-polymerization is an important method to incorporate the desired properties into the backbone. soy protein concentrate (spc) was grafted with ethylmethacrylate (ema) using ascorbic acid /potassium persulphate as redox initiator system under pressure. different reaction parameters such as reaction time, reaction pressure, solvent amount, ...

The reaction at room temperature of an aromatic aldehyde with pyrrole in the presence of Iodine, acetic acid catalyzed of meso-substituted dipyrromethane. The mixture was ground together in a mortar with a pestle at room temperature for short reaction time and easy operation under at room temperature. The meso substituted dipyrromethane is purified by crystallization and column chromatography o...

1-Carboxymethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride {[cmmim]Cl} is utilized as a highly efficient and reusable catalyst for the synthesis of bis(indolyl)methanes by the condensation reaction of indole with arylaldehydes under solvent-free conditions at room temperature. In summary, the presented method have several advantages including simplicity, low cost, generality, efficiency, clean reaction profi...

Epoxy coatings are usually reinforced by the use of nanofillers, but reactive nanofillers having physical tendency towards epoxide ring opening are preferable. In this work, nanosilica (SiO2) and halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) known for their hydroxyl-contained surface are used and their effects on the curing behavior of an epoxy/amine coating is compared. The spherical and tubular nano...

A particle reaction model including mass and heat transfer has been developed to know the temperature variations produced inside the oxygen carrier particles during the cyclic reduction and oxidation reactions taking place in a Chemical-Looping Combustion (CLC) system. The reactions of the different oxygen carriers based on Cu, Co, Fe, Mn, and Ni during the reduction with fuel gas (CH4, CO, and...

methanesulfonic acid (msa) was found to be an efficient catalyst for the synthesis of 1-substituted-1h-1,2,3,4-tetrazoles. a series of 1-substituted tetrazole compounds were synthesized from the reaction of various primary amines, sodium azide and triethyl orthoformate in the presence of catalytic amounts of msa at room temperature. in this protocol, some of the tetrazole derivatives were synth...
