Abstract To overcome the severe toxicity and blind absorption zone of conventional lead-based shielding materials for X-rays in 70–90 keV range, lead-free multilayered polymer composites were designed fabricated. The effects direction incidence number layers as well layer thickness ratio (tungsten/ethylene-octene copolymer)/(bismuth/ethylene-octene copolymer) layered on their efficiency studied...

In this work, the effect of hexyl branch content on thermal behavior of a fractionated ethylene/1-octene copolymer with emphasis on high temperatures was investigated. The ethylene/1-octene copolymer was carefully fractionated to different fractions with homogenous hexyl branch (HB) content by preparative temperature rising elution fractionation (P-TREF) method. The P-TREF fractions were therma...

Starting from 1,1'-diacetylferrocene the ortho-amino,α-dimethylamino[3]ferrocenophane system 3 was prepared. This was converted to the o-imino,α-Cp-derivative 6. Subsequent treatment with e.g. an excess of methyllithium followed by ZrCl(2)(NMe(2))(2)(thf)(2) and Me(2)SiCl(2) eventually gave the [3]ferrocenophane based Cp-amido zirconium complex 11b. In a similar way the [3]ferrocenophane derive...

Ethylene-octene copolymer (EOC) with a loading level of 20 wt%, maleated EOC (EOC-g-MA) 3 wt% and graphene nanoplatelets (GnPs) at four different levels, i.e., 5 10 15 were added to nylon 6 prepare nanocomposites using twin-screw extruder high shear rate screw running 300 rpm. Increased stiffness was observed the addition GnPs while tensile strength only slightly influenced. Addition into 6/EOC...

The effect of compatibilizer - ethylene-n-octene copolymer grafted with maleic anhydride(EOC-g-MAH) used in the amount 3 wt% on tensile and flexural properties impact strengthof bioPET addition 10 filler derived from organic waste (egg mollusc shells, coffeegrounds) was investigated. EOC-g-MAH slightly decreased strength, andmodulus elasticity, while significantly increasing strength (up to 426...

In this work, we studied propylene polymerization using some α-diimine palladium catalysts with systematically varied ligand sterics. In propylene polymerization, the ligand steric effect exhibits significant variations on the catalytic activity, polymer molecular weight, and branching density. However, the regio control for the polymer microstructure is poor. Furthermore, copolymerization of 1...

A series of N-acetyl-O-(ω-alkenyl)-L-tyrosine ethyl esters were synthesized by the reaction of vinyl bromides (4-bromo-1-butene, 6-bromo-1-hexene, 8-bromo-1-octene and 10-bromo-1-decene) with N-acetyl-L-tyrosine ethyl ester. 1H NMR, elemental analysis, FT-IR, and mass spectra were performed for these N-acetyl-O-(ω-alkenyl)-L-tyrosine ethyl esters. The novel titanium complex can catalyze the cop...
