Synthesis on solid phase is one of modern methodologies especially useful in parallel and combinatorial syntheses. Tertiary amine functionalities are found in many important classes of catalysts, reagents and biologically active compounds. The tertiary N-methyl group is also present in structures of tropane alkaloids and majority of synthetic tropane derivatives with potential biological activi...

Small-angle neutron scattering and turbidity were used to probe nanoscale structure in bicontinuous microemulsions before and after polymerization. Difficulties in capturing nanoscale structure by polymerizing microemulsions have persisted with the use of thermal initiation. Bicontinuous microemulsion polymerization with a reactive surfactant monomer and cross-linker was done with only a 20% in...
