Organocatalysts facilitate the synthesis of polythionolactones; oxidative crosslinking yields a degradable polymer foam.

The synthesis of fluorescent water-soluble gold nanoparticles by the reduction of a gold salt in the presence of a designed polymer ligand is described, the size and fluorescence of the particles being controlled by the polymer to gold ratio; the most fluorescent nanomaterial has a 3% quantum yield, a 1.1 nm gold core and a 6.9 nm hydrodynamic radius.

Biocompatible anisotropic polymer particles with bipolar affinity towards human endothelial cells are a novel type of building blocks for microstructured bio-hybrid materials. Functional polarity due to two biologically distinct hemispheres has been achieved by synthesis of anisotropic particles via electro-hydrodynamic co-jetting of two different polymer solutions and subsequent selective surf...

Magnetic hybrid liquid crystalline composites have been obtained either by thermal decomposition of a cobalt precursor in a solution containing a liquid crystal polymer or by dispersing preformed cobalt nanorods in a liquid crystal polymer matrix. The final materials are all mesomorphous and ferromagnetic. Their magnetic characteristics are compared as a function of the synthesis method.

A facile synthesis of polymer-inorganic hybrid hollow mesoporous nanospheres was developed based on the entrapment of a dissolved polymer core template in the framework during the assembly process of the hybrid hollow nanospheres for efficient and size-selective enrichment of target peptides/proteins from complex biosamples.

The synthesis of nanocrystal-polymer nanocomposites is reported, in which 2-(2-ethoxyethoxy)ethoxy modified polythiophene serves as the protecting group for dispersion and homogeneous size distribution of the nanoparticles, showing potential of this polymer-based material in optoelectronics and microelectronics.

A novel intramolecular cyclization was discovered during the reaction of soluble polymer supported bis-Boc-guanidines with amines under microwave irradiation, leading to an oxadiazinone skeleton. The cyclized polymer conjugates have been further utilized to generate substituted 1,3,5-oxadiazinones by a traceless synthesis.

The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of post-exercise ingestion of a unique, high molecular weight glucose polymer solution, known to augment gastric emptying and post-exercise muscle glycogen re-synthesis, on performance during a subsequent bout of intense exercise. On three randomized visits, eight healthy men cycled to exhaustion at 73.0% (s = 1.3) maximal oxygen uptake (...

Solid-phase organic synthesis of polyprenols with a traceless sulfone linker is described. The polymer-bound benezenesulfinate is first linked with the "tail" building blocks of isoprenyl chlorides via S-alkylation. With use of dimsyl anion as an appropriate base, the polymer-bound alpha-sulfonyl carbanion is generated and coupled with other "body" building blocks in an efficient manner. After ...
