poly(styrene-co-butyl acrylate)/clay nanocomposites were synthesized via in situ atom transfer radical polymerization using activators generated by electron transfer in the presence of a montmorillonite ion-exchanged with mixed surfactants of dodecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide and vinyl trimethyl ammonium chloride. the living nature of polymerization is confrmed by occurrence of narrow molecula...

This investigation indicates the ability to selectively graft glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) only from the external surface of regenerated cellulose (RC) ultrafiltration (UF) membranes using activator generated electron transfer (AGET) atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). This controlled polymerization resulted in epoxy functionalized polymer brush ends. Further reaction of the terminal ep...

A heat transfer model was developed for a new non-electric infant’s transport incubator. The source of heat comprises a super saturated solution of Sodium Acetate and a metal disk (activator) in a plastic container. Estimating the number of the chemical bags required for different ambient temperature was the goal. First the quantity of heat generated by the chemical was appointed through experi...

Movement, cell division, protein biosynthesis, electron transfer against an electrochemical gradient, and many more processes depend on energy conversions coupled to the hydrolysis of ATP. The reduction of metal sites with low reduction potentials (E(0') < -500 mV) is possible by connecting an energetical uphill electron transfer with the hydrolysis of ATP. The corrinoid-iron/sulfur protein (Co...

Electrochemically activating peroxydisulfate (PDS) can eliminate organic pollution using electron as activator without the involvement of byproducts. Notwithstanding, process suffered from long hydraulic retention time, and activation regime remained unclear. Herein, Pd/Al2O3 catalyst particle electrode for initiating PDS oxidation in cathodic cell degrade various pollutants with varying kineti...
