High molecular weight polymers and high polymer concentrations are desirable for the electrospinning of nanofibers since polymer chain entanglements and overlapping are important for uniform fiber formation. Hence, the electrospinning of nanofibers from non-polymeric systems such as cyclodextrins (CDs) is quite a challenge since CDs are cyclic oligosaccharides. Nevertheless, in this study, we h...

polypyrrole is one of the most useful conductive polymers, but green synthesis of this polymer has been restricted until now. the objective of the present paper is green synthesis of nano polypyrrole (ppy) by oxidative polymerization using urea-hydrogen peroxide. it was found that conductivity and morphology of polypyrrole are highly dependent on the reaction conditions such as the molar ratio ...

Improvements in nitrogen (N) use efficiency reduce stress on the environment and improve tomato production. A two-year trial was conducted greenhouse tomatoes with a split-plot design, which one factor N application rate (150 kg·ha?1, N1; 200 N2; 250 N3) two other factors were type of urea applied (urea, T1; slow-release (polymer-coated) urea, T2, nitrification inhibitors (3,4-dimethylpyrazole ...

The permeability and solute transport characteristics of amphiphilic triblock-polymer vesicles containing the bacterial water-channel protein Aquaporin Z (AqpZ) were investigated. The vesicles were made of a block copolymer with symmetric poly-(2-methyloxazoline)-poly-(dimethylsiloxane)-poly-(2-methyloxazoline) (PMOXA(15)-PDMS(110)-PMOXA(15)) repeat units. Light-scattering measurements on pure ...

In the title coordination polymer, [CuI(C(13)H(14)N(4)S)](n), the Cu(I) atom is coordinated by two N atoms from two N,N'-bis-(3-pyridylmeth-yl)thio-urea ligands, as well as by the S atom of a third ligand and an I atom to confer a distorted tetra-hedral coordination at the metal centre. The coordination bonds give rise to a layer structure parallel to (010).

Nanofibers consisting of the optically nonlinear organic molecule urea embedded in both poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) polymers were produced by the electrospinning technique. The second-harmonic generation produced by aligned fiber mats of these materials displays a strong dependence on the polarization of the incident light. In PVA-urea nanofibers the effectiveness i...

Abstract Polymer-coated urea (PCU) has been traditionally used for broadcast and/or incorporated application of nitrogen (N) fertilizers. To improve N use efficiency (NUE), there an increase in sub-surface banded this fertilizer technology. However, is little information on the release and supply from PCU granules when applied a band. This research aimed to investigate spatial distribution key ...
