A series of symmetric and asymmetric binuclear α-diimine nickel(II) complexes toward ethylene polymerization were successfully synthesized and characterized by 1HNMR. All the catalysts were typically activated with MAO and displayed good activity at room temperature under 1atm ethylene pressure. The symmetric catalyst containing isopropyl on l...

Conventional treatment of Naja naja oxiana (NNO) envenoming requires large volumes of equine antivenin raised against NNO crude venom. The poor efficiency of this antivenin is assumed to be due to the high molecular weight non-toxic proteins, a strong immunogen, present in the crude venom. These proteins cause depression of antibody formation against the low molecular weight toxic components of...

Cationic waterborne polyurethane as a new dispersing polymer was synthesized by using relatively hydrophilic polyols. Dispersing cationic polyurethane (DCPU) nanocomposites were prepared using isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI), polyethylene glycol (PEG) with different molecular weights (Mn=200, 400, 600,and1000 g/mol), N-methyl diethanolamine (MDEA), dibutyltin dilaurate (DBTDL) and different perc...
