A series of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid) (PNIPAAm-co-PAA) random copolymers were synthesized through free radical copolymerization in MeOH. The incorporation of the acrylic acid units into PNIPAAm tended to enhance the glass transition temperature (Tg), due to strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the amide groups of PNIPAAm and the carboxyl groups of PAA, as observed us...

Abstract Nano ZnO is biosynthesized using Lactobcillus sp. Poly Acrylic acid-co-Acrylonitrile/ZnO, PAACAN/ZnO, and poly acid-co-Maleic acid/ZnO, PAACMA/ZnO, nancomposites were synthesized 60 Co γ -rays. PAACAN/ZnO PAACMA/ZnO nanocomposites characterized used as sorbents for Co(II) radionuclide. The monolayer adsorption capacities of onto are 18.235, 7.105 mgg −1 , respectively at pH 4.5 20 °C. ...

Hyperbranched poly(methylene-bis-acrylamide), poly(bis(N,N-propyl acryl amide)) (HPNPAM) and poly(bis(N,N-butyl acryl amide)) were synthesized by reversible additionfragmentation chain transfer polymerization. HPNPAMs showed lower critical solution temperature (LCST) due to an appropriate ratio between hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups. The effects of reaction conditions on polymerization were...

Sulfo and carboxyl group-containing polymers polymer/silica adsorbents poly(acrylonitrile-co-2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane-1-sulfonic acid-co-acrylic acid-co-N,N’-methylene-bis-acrylamide) [poly(AN-co-AMPS-co-AAco-MBA)] poly(AN-co-AMPS-co-AA-co-MBA)/SiO2 were synthesized by a UV-initiated polymerization or simultaneous in situ sol-gel process used as for removal of Co(II) Ni(II) ions from aqueou...

The aim of the research work was to chemically modify guar gum(GG) as a pH sensitive co-polymer and formulating intestinal targeting ESO nanoparticles (NPs) using the synthesized co-polymer. Poly acrylamide-grafted-guar gum (PAAm-g-GG) co-polymer was synthesized by free radical polymerization. Chemical modification of PAAm-g-GG by alkaline hydrolysis results in formation of a pH-sensitive co-po...

We describe here the first example of the synthesis of 4-arm star poly(acrylic acid) for use as a water-soluble drag reducing agent, by applying Cu(0)-mediated polymerization technique. High molecular weight 4-arm star poly(tert-butyl acrylate) (Mn = 3.0-9.0 x 10 5 g mol -1 ) was first synthesized using 4,4’-oxybis(3,3-bis(2-bromopropionate)butane as an initiator and a simple Cu(0)/TREN catalys...
