CuO nano particles were obtained by calcination of nano-sized  [Cu(C4H4O4)(bipy)(H2O)2].2H2O (1) and [Cu(2‚2′-bipy)](C4H4O4)0.5(NO3)(H2O) (2) which are two  Cu(II) coordination polymers. The two coordination polymers [Cu(C4H4O4)(bipy)(H2O)2].2H2O and [Cu(2‚2′-bipy)](C4H4O4)0.5(NO3)(H2O) were synthesized and characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectra (FT-IR spectroscopy), thermal gravim...

Nanoparticles made of biodegradable polymers has become the best approach for nanoparticle making due to their compatibility with the human body. New glycerol adipate polymers with hydroxyl group substituted with different percent of acyl group, sited as figures within the abbreviated name in the text, and triptophan were synthesized and proposed to be used in the preparction of dexamethason ph...

The aim of this study was to develop an extended-release tablet formulation using a new in situ cross-linking method. The effects of polyvalent cations on theophylline release from tablets made with the polyanionic polymers sodium alginate and sodium carboxymethylcellulose, were investigated. Different miliequivalents of the di and tri-valent cation, Ca2+ and Al3+, were added to tablet form...

A series of new polyamides containing maleimide pendant group were prepared by low temperature polycondensation of 5-(4-(2,5-dioxo-2H-pyrrol-1(5H)-yl)benzamido)isophthaloyl chloride as a new monomer with various aromatic diamines in NMP. Monomer and polymers structures were identified through FT-IR, 1H-NMR and elemental analysis. Obtained polymers were soluble in polar solvents and non solu...

this  article  provides  an  overview  on  preparation,  design,  crystal structure  and  properties  of  some  metal-organic  frameworks  of carboxylate coordination polymers mixed with pyridine-functionality linkers  prepared  in  our  laboratory.  the  article  covers  coordination polymers  in  two-  and  three-dimensional  supramolecular architectures. the reported coordination polymers ex...

fast fracture is one of the major failure modes in brittle polymers. generally, crack growth in these polymers may occur under combined tensile-shear loading. however, the fracture test data reported previously for some dental restorative resins can not be predicted by using the available fracture criteria.in this paper, a modified fracture criterion is used for estimating the fracture load for...

   Micro-electroactive polymers have wide applications from industry to healthcare. Artificial muscles, microvalves, microswitches, haptic sensing, blood pressure and pulse monitoring are some potential applications for micro-electroactive polymers. The most advantage of micro-electroactive polymers as sensors and actuators is bio-compatibility and low power threshold for large deformations...
