Polyacrylic acid/ octavinyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane, nanocomposite hydrogel with 3-D network was synthesized via radical polymerization. Octavinyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane was used as crosslinker and nanofiller simultaneously in the preparation of the hydrogel. Hydrogel adsorption performance was determined by adsorption of methylene blue. The adsorption capacity was ev...

The mono-dispersed crosslinked polymeric multi-lacuna nanocapsules (CP(St-OA) nanocapsules) about 40 nm with carboxylic groups on their inner and outer surfaces were fabricated in the present work. The small conglomerations of the oleic acid modified spindle-like alpha-Fe(2)O(3) nanoparticles (OA-Fe(2)O(3)) were encapsulated in the facile microemulsion polymerization with styrene (St) as monome...

The chemorheology of poly (methacrylamide-co-acrylic acid) gel crosslinked by Chromium (III) (Cr ) III ions was investigated using stress-controlled viscometry techniques. This work showed that between various variables, such as polymer and crosslinker concentrations, salinity, pH and temperature, the later parameter had a significant effect on the idle time and processing time as two critical ...

In a novel application, infrared spectroscopic ellipsometry is used to provide clear evidence for the formation of a covalent bond at a polymer/polymer interface. Specifically, there is evidence for the formation of a Si-O-C bond resulting from a reaction between the silyl (SiH) group of a poly(hydrogen methyl siloxane) crosslinker used in poly(dimethyl siloxane) and the carboxylic acid group o...

Back Cover: Supramolecular adhesive hydrogels based on α-cyclodextrin (αCD) capped decyl group-modified Alaska pollock gelatin and poly(ethylene) glycol-based crosslinker are designed. The resulting hydrogel can close the cerebral dura mater has excellent anti-swelling properties. These properties attributed to release of αCD from after curing subsequent assembly groups. This is reported by Tet...

the nanocomposites of poly (acryl amide-co-acrylic acid) with different contents of naazeolite were prepared using ammonium persulfate as an initiator and n, n′-methylenebisacrylamide as the crosslinker. the morphology was characterized by sem and the structure ofnanocomposite materials was studied with xrd and ft-ir that showed the interaction betweenporous materials and poly (aam-co-aac). the...
