A series of styrene/butadiene polymers were combined with up to 90 wt% UiO-66 to form mixed-matrix membranes with varying physical properties. Notably, polystyrene-block-polybutadiene (SBS) membranes retained much of the processability and flexibility of the native polymer component and the porosity, chemical tunability, and adsorption of the native MOF.

in this research, the microstructural of low molecular weight 1,2-polybutadiene (1,2-pbd) was conducted by 1h and 13c nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (nmr) to determine the isomeric contents of 1,4-cis, 1,4-trans and 1,2-vinyl in 1,2-pbd polymer structures. number average molecular weight for low molecular weight 1,2-pbd was measured by nmr techniques and the results were compared with ...

Small fixed aggregates of a poly(ethylene oxide)-block-polybutadiene diblock copolymer (PEO-b-PB) in THF solution were obtained by adding a selective solvent for PB blocks, followed by cross-linking the PB shells. The morphologies of the nanostructured particles with a cross-linked shell were investigated by atomic force microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The average behaviors of ...

Organic monolayers were formed on mica substrates whose detachment was rate-independent in the absence of thesemonolayers. The pull-off force under dry conditionswasmeasured as a function of contact time (0.01-500 s) and separation rate (0.003-100μm/s; corresponding lateral crack velocity approximately 0.04-1200 μm/s) using a piezoelectric bimorph attachment to a surface forces apparatus.
