poly urea-formaldehyde was synthesized simply and rapidly from urea and formaldehyde by condensation polymerization and studied for the sorption of trace acid blue from aqueous solution. the optimum ph value for sorption of the acid blue was 4. experimental results showed that the sorption capacity of poly urea-formaldehyde for acid blue was determined. the synthetic polymer can be reused for 5...

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...

The structure and dynamics of luminescent excitons in tetracene thin films and nanoaggregates are investigated using time-resolved spectroscopy and theoretical calculations. The orientation of tetracene's transition dipole moment along its short molecular axis leads to properties qualitatively different from those observed in aggregates of phenylene-vinylene and thiophene oligomers, despite sim...
