Colloids dispersed in a nonpolar solvent become charged when reverse micelles are added. We study the charge of individual sterically stabilized poly(methyl methacrylate) spheres dispersed in micellar solutions of the surfactants sodium bis(2-ethyl 1-hexyl) sulfosuccinate [AOT], zirconyl 2-ethyl hexanoate [Zr(Oct)2], and a copolymer of poly(12-hydroxystearic acid)-poly(methyl methacrylate) [PHS...

The effective two-photon absorption in the hybrid material comprising quantum dots (QDs) a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) matrix and gold nanorods (GNRs) was increased 12-fold due to nonlinear energy transfer from GNR plasmons QD excitons.

Titania nanoparticles are prepared by sol-gel chemistry with a poly(ethylene oxide) methyl ether methacrylate-block-poly(dimethylsiloxane)-block-poly(ethylene oxide) methyl ether methacrylate triblock copolymer acting as the templating agent. The sol-gel components-hydrochloric acid, titanium tetraisopropoxide, and triblock copolymer-are varied to investigate their effect on the resulting titan...

Pedicle screws are the main fixation devices for certain surgeries. Pedicle screw loosening is a common problem especially for osteoporotic incidents. Cannulated screws with cement augmentation are widely used for that kind of cases. Dual lead dual cored pedicle screw has already given promising pullout values without augmentation. This study concentrates on the usage of dual lead dual core wit...

Effect of methyl methacrylate (MMA) as a binder and heating treatment were investigated to improve green alumina compacts machinability. Properties their corresponding sintered samples prepared with without MMA compared. Investigation properties was performed on compacted at applied pressures up 150 MPa. After pressing, thermally treated 115oC. The intention enhance the polymerization temperatu...

A thin and compact mixed matrix membrane containing CAU-1-NH2 and the poly(methyl methacrylate) polymer has been originally synthesized. The as-prepared membrane exhibits high permeability of H2 and excellent H2/CO2 selectivity.

the glass transition temperature of several pvac(1)-b-poly(ma-co-mma) (2) terpolymers with different fractions of methyl acrylate (ma) and methyl methacrylate (mma) repeating units in random copolymer (block 2) were calculated with barton, kwei and topological equations. the calculation was on the basis of the correlation between the fraction of repeating units in random copolymers and theoreti...

Quaternary ammonium methacryloxy silicate (QAMS), an organically modified silicate (ORMOSIL) functionalized with polymerizable methacrylate groups and an antimicrobial agent with a long lipophilic alkyl chain quaternary ammonium group, was synthesized through a silane-based sol-gel route. By dissolving QAMS in methyl methacrylate monomer, this ORMOSIL molecule was incorporated into an auto-poly...

The electro-optical (EO) properties of poly(methyl methacrylate) and the photopolymer poly(vinyl cinnamate) doped with varying concentrations EO chromophore 2-Methyl-4-nitroaniline were measured. polymers embedded in Fabry-Pérot etalons for simultaneous determination Pockels Kerr coefficients from measurements fringe shift induced by an external electric field. It was found that host polymer ha...
