Abstract A dynamic model is developed for gas‐phase ethylene/1‐hexene polymerization with a three‐site hafnocene catalyst. The accurately predicts molecular weight and comonomer composition distributions 15 lab‐scale copolymerization runs performed at different temperatures. experimental used to fit this are temperatures between 60 85 °C. Gas‐phase concentrations measured every 2.7 min througho...

Inside Cover: In article number 2000580 by Dagmar Fischer, Kalina Peneva, and co-workers, guanidinium, containing methacrylamide terpolymers with three different side chains mimicking hydrophobic amino acid residues, are designed to evaluate what extent does the identity of these groups influence binding, protection, transfection DNA.

Chain-growth and step-growth polymerizations are the two main mechanisms that classically used to synthesize polymers. In this article, a third approach is usually not listed in polymer textbooks described, namely multistep growth “polymerization.” This synthetic strategy does proceed one pot as aforementioned ones but relies on series of distinct chemical reactions. It includes different types...

Thermoresponsive bilayer hydrogels have gained attention due to their fast response time and excellent recovery. A side-by-side capillary-based microfluidic device has been used produce thermoresponsive Janus fibers by photopolymerization of monomer streams. These had one parts consisting in a polymer obtained from oligo(ethylene glycol) acrylate, 2-ethoxyethyl poly(ethylene diacrylate, while t...

Upon copolymerization of carbohydrate-based cyclic moieties, they offer a variety new functionalities and convenient way to modify the properties material. Structurally electronegative sites present in structures have major influence on hydrogen bonding. In this study consequences incorporation 2,3:4,5-di-O-methylene-galactarate (GalXH) 2,3:4,5-di-O-isopropylidene-galactarate (GalXMe) moieties ...
