grafting polymerization was a valuable method for the modification of the chemical and physical properties of polymer surfaces. in this paper, the grafting of cationic vinyl monomer with quaternary ammonium groups, methacryloxyethyltrimethyl ammonium chloride (dmc), onto the isotactic polypropylene (ipp) granule was performed by suspension solid-state grafting process. the technique offers new ...

In complex task domains, such as games, students may exceed their teachers. Such tasks afford diverse means to tradeoff one type of performance for another, combining task elements in novel ways to yield method variations and strategy discoveries that, if mastered, might produce large or small leaps in performance. For the researcher interested in the development of extreme expertise in the wil...

grafting and mycorrhizal fungi have gained interest for the positive effects they can have on vegetable crops. the aim of this work was to study the combined effect of grafting with vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (amf) inoculation on fruit yield and quality of mini-watermelon [citrullus lanatus (thumb.) matsum and nakai]. ungrafted plants or grafted onto rootstock rs 841 (cucurbita maxi...

Turhan A., Ozmen N., Serbeci M.S., Seniz V., 2011. Effects of grafting on different rootstocks on tomato fruit yield and quality. Hort. Sci. (Prague), 38: 142–149. The aim of the study was to find effects of tomato grafting on another cultivar. The tomato cultivars used as scions were Yeni Talya, Swanson and Beril. Cultivars used as rootstocks were Beaufort and Arnold. Cleft grafting methods we...

: a new fibrous adsorbent was prepared by grafting acrylic acid /acryl amide (aa/aam) co-monomers onto poly(ethylene terephtalat) (pet) fibers. the resulting sorbent has been characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir), thermo gravimetric analysis (tga), scanning electron microscopy (sem) and elemental analysis and studied for the preconcentration and determination of trace...

With the aim of determining whether grafting could improve salinity tolerance of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.), and what characteristics of the rootstock were required to increase the salt tolerance of the shoot, a commercial tomato hybrid (cv. Jaguar) was grafted onto the roots of several tomato genotypes with different potentials to exclude saline ions. The rootstock effect was asses...

indian ber (ziziphus mauritiana) has growing type as grape and is inclined to horizental and down ward growth. if it is not trained appropriately, it would grow into very bushy with thiny shoots. hence, such trees have short lives, and are liable to pests and diseases with low yield. fruit harvesting is also difficult in bushy trees. therefore, proper pruning and training of young trees is esse...

Radiation grafting of monomers on polymers is radical polymerization which usually takes place in viscous medium and quite often in a micro-heterogeneous semicrystalline matrix. The role of kinetic and structural factors in the graft polymerization was investigated. Grafting of styrene on polyethylene and polypropylene was initiated by radiation methods (direct irradiation of polymer and monome...

: A new fibrous adsorbent was prepared by grafting Acrylic Acid /Acryl Amide (AA/AAm) co-monomers onto Poly(Ethylene Terephtalat) (PET) fibers. The resulting sorbent has been characterized by Fourier Transform InfraRed spectroscopy (FT-IR), Thermo Gravimetric Analysis (TGA), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and elemental analysis and studied for the preconcentration and ...
