bis(2-r-ind)zrcl2 (r: h or phenyl) was supported on different types of silica by in situ impregnation method and used for ethylene polymerization. in this method, the step of catalyst loading on support was eliminated and common alkyl aluminum (triisobutylaluminum, tiba) cocatalyst was used instead of expensive methyl aluminiumoxane (mao) cocatalyst in the polymerization. the effect of surface ...

To enhance the cytocompatibility of polycaprolactone (PCL), cell-adhesive gelatin is covalently immobilized onto the PCL film surface via two surface-modified approaches: a conventional chemical immobilization process and a surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) process. Kinetics studies reveal that the polymer chain growth from the PCL film using the ATRP process is form...

Combining inkjet printing and atom-transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) provides a straightforward and versatile method for producing patterned polymer surfaces that may serve as platforms for a variety of applications. We report the use of drop-on-demand technology to print binary chemical gradients and simple patterns onto solid substrates and, by using surface-confined ATRP, amplify these ...

The synthesis of polymer brush decorated silica nano-particles is demonstrated by activator regeneration by electron transfer atom transfer radical polymerization (ARGET ATRP) grafting of poly(tert-butyl methacrylate). ATRP initiator decorated silica nano-particles were obtained using a novel trimethylsiloxane derivatised ATRP initiator obtained by click chemistry. Comparison of de-grafted poly...

Herein we present a simple batch method to control polymer dispersity using mixture of two ATRP initiators with different reactivities.

This paper explored the method of combining atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) technology and hyperbranched polymer principle to prepare the high capacity chelating resin. First, surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) method was used to graft glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) on chloromethylated cross-linked styrene-divinylbenzene resin, and then the novel polyamine...

background: flat urothelial lesions comprise a spectrum of morphologic changes ranging from reactive atypia to carcinoma in situ (cis). urothelial dysplasia and cis are associated with the recurrence and progression of urothelial carcinoma. distinguishing cis and dysplasia from reactive atypia based on histolopathogical features alone is often difficult. using different immunohistochemical mark...

background: various frequencies of sperm aneuploidy are reported in sperms of subfertile patients compared to normal individuals. moreover, sperm dna damage is shown to be associated with male infertility. in this study, the rate of dna damage and frequencies of aneuploidy in sperms of subfertile patients was investigated. methods: semen samples were obtained from healthy normal and subfertile ...

two facile and low cost routes were used for the synthesis of if-ws2 nanoparticles. in this paper, preparation of if-ws2 nanoparticles with two different methods was investigated. in the first method, wo3 nanoparticles were reacted with h2s gas in n2/h2 reducing atmosphere at 900 oc. the as-synthesized if-ws2 nanoparticles are spherical shape with an average size of about 70 nm.  in the second ...
